Sunday walk into town and Sat pumpkin fun



































































Princesses, Pumpkins and Aurora!

K and I went to Disney on ice... The best part of the show for K was letting her pick out a Disney priced doll... She looked and looked and analyzed and analyzed what to buy... She bought Belle... and was completely sure of her choice... and when we got home we mentioned how Belle was such a careful choice etc.... until K looks at me and says well her name is Aurora. I really wanted Aurora but some other girl bought her so I picked Belle instead... So much for careful anaylsis... she thought there was only one of each doll and so now we are calling Belle Aurora Belle... The best part of the show for me.. having her sit on my lap for two hours.

We went to our friend's annnual pumpkin carving party... which was awesome as always... K ran around playing with another little girl screaming, laughing and shrieking... it was great... She also carved a pumpkin with many many faces... he is scaring everyone outside our front door.

And finally I tried to take K clothes shopping. She is so picky about what she wears that I decided to see if we could go together to get things that worked for her... totally not a hit... she picked out 20 shirts and was more focused on the pajamas, watches and accessories they sold... so I guess I am back to hoping I pick the right thing and it will get wear...

Another half

I ran my second half last weekend... I really enjoyed it... if only I had more time to train I think that I would have loved it. Regardless I did it and really enjoyed it and can't wait for more time to work out...

K is going through a tough sleep period and as a result is a bit grumpy... not sure what to do to break out of it, but just keep trying to get her to sleep so she will agree to eat and be up for being more of a helper. Maybe being a big sis is finally getting tiring...

C is eating and eating and eating. Someone at wf asked me what I was feeding her and if it was just home food because she is so large... She is almost 6 months... Hurrah for almost being halfway done with nursing... she is doing great!!!

Last night we had an awesome few minutes with K watching music videos on YouTube... She was really enjoying the music and we all really enjoyed a quiet family moment.

K made it

She did what she needed to and made it to mini stars 2... we are on the wait list for our favorite teacher and we are celebrating tomorrow night with a Mommy manicure... gotta love that she request I paint her nails with three different bottles of sparkly polish.... Other celebration finding a new leotard since her current one is getting too small... all suggestions of where to look would be awesome!

Who has time to eat

C has found that nursing really is tough to do when you are trying to watch the world... and you wouldn't believe all the things there are to watch in the world... lights, big sisters and well everything... This is a first for us as K was already on the bottle at this point as she thought nursing was overrated by three months and so my pump became my best friend. Now we have to figure out how to feed C when there are no distractions. Impossible when everything is distracting.

Today K's best friend S started at her school. Not only did they get to drive together they got to spend the day together. Both girls were soo excited. K was really worried that somehow she would be forgotten and finished breakfast in record time.

Last night she joined T at a Sharks game... this time she decided the game was just boring without the flying shark, mascot etc. but she did love staying up late...

C, K and life

C is loving her food... she is putting her hands in it, trying to grab the spoon and enjoying getting messy with the rice cereal. Her sleep has been good lately and that makes everyone really happy! K told me she was giving C an ice cream treat on Sunday morning because she didn't have any wake ups on Saturday night... I can't say enough how impressed I am by what a great big sis K has become. She has been rather sick off and on over the last few weeks and gotten three colds and one which turned into a double ear infection. Hoping she isn't sick most of the winter.

I am finishing a US tour and get to come home tonight. I went to DC for a great conference, saw pmogi who relocated there earlier this year and heading to NYC... As always it was wonderful despite the rainy Sat afternoon... Great sample sales, my first opera at Lincoln Center where I was lucky enough to sit in the fifth row, lots of walking and some yummy food and of course two visits to Magnolia. Now I am in Chicago for another conference and coming home tonight. Loads of milk to pray that gets through security.... and hurrah for less pumping over the next few days as I will be with baby C! Very exciting to be going home to hang with the family.
