Dressin' Up and Getting Candy!

Halloween morning, Naomi dressed up as a princess for school. (Isaiah had to put his Spiderman costume on, too.)

Above: Naomi with a couple classmates.

Below: Naomi's school had a parade. The entire school and tons of parents attended. With music blaring, each class had a chance to 'parade' around and show off their costumes.

Here's the insane amount of people in attendance.

Below: Halloween night, we joined out neighbors to trick-0r-treat in our apartment complex. Naomi was a princess, Isaiah was Spiderman, and Jordan was a bumble bee.

The Loot:
It didn't take Jordan long to figure out what all of this stuff was. She was putting candy in her mouth, wrapper and all.

Guttin' and Cuttin' Pumpkins

Danny took a break from his crazy school schedule to carve pumpkins with the kiddos.

They were all a little apprehensive about getting their hands all slimy in order to get the seeds out, but we coersed them, and they all participated!

I found a website with a bunch of Jack-O-Lantern patterns. The kids picked out their own patterns, I printed them out, and we copied them onto the pumpkins. Danny, of course, created his own, and they all turned out great.

Kids Being Kids

Walking!!!

At the beginning of September, around Jordan's birthday, she was taking 4 steps at a time, but didn't care about it. She liked to stand in place and then get down to crawl. Then in a week, she was taking 12 or more steps, and didn't really want to crawl anymore. By the end of Sept. she was walking like a pro. Now she tries to keep up with the big kids outside!
Okay, almost like a pro. Good thing she's low to the ground!
She has discovered that standing up provides a much better way to get into things, open cupboards, etc.

Below: Naomi was in need of a haircut. We weren't into the thought of her sitting on her hair! Here are the before and after pics.

Below: Naomi at her best. You never know what she will come up with.

Camping

Camping with Daddy...

Danny and Naomi went camping with a bunch of dads (and kids) from our church. They camped near Julian; about 2 hours away from our house. They had a blast, and as you can see, Naomi was her crazy self...don't know who she takes after.

Naomi with her 2 buddies: Adalae and Jada.

Isaiah was going to come, too, but got sick at the last minute. He was sooo sad and so was I. He needed to run around wild, and I was really looking forward to time off with just Jordan. Maybe next time.
