October

October has been as busy as ever for us. We had Neil and Kynlie's birthday parties on the 9th. I can't believe Kynlie is 3.  I also can't believe that 3 is worse than 2 but so far it has been. Kynlie does what she wants on her own time and listens to no one. I don't know what to do with the little stinker. I do have to remember that her stubborn ways have a lot to do why she is with us today!

 She is talking like crazy. Repeating everything anyone says and everything is pretty accurate. Potty training is not going so hot but we will get there. Kynlie has a love/hate relationship with Locklyn. She loves her a lot but hates if Locklyn thinks about playing with a toy. She loves Dora, Minnie Mouse, barbies, babies, dirt and rocks. I started her in the Recreation Department's classes this fall so she just finished up with exploring sports. They played football, soccer and basketball. She had fun but her attention span wasn't the greatest. They start tumbling when we get back from Kansas.

 Kynlie and Neil both got super spoiled at their party, Kynlie wanted a Dora party so that's what they got!

 Today we made some Halloween cookies. Kynlie had her own roller and dough to do whatever she pleased with so the majority of our cookies are safe to eat! She was eating the dough right off her roller.

And rolling it out

 We carved out 3 huge pumpkins today too, the girls both had a lot of fun doing it.

Locklyn is still a sweet and happy baby. She's got crawling up the stairs mastered but going down is a little rough. She pulls herself up on quite a few things but doesn't have much interest in walking. She will mimic quite a few sounds and has recently learned to do "So big" wave bye bye, and clap for patty cake.

Cutest baby jack-o-lantern ever

Such a happy baby
