It's an Extra Fancy Day!

Wearing a dress is pretty fancy, but Tayve's wearing FOUR dresses today so that's even more fancy!

She went in her room this morning and shut the door. It was nice and quite for about 5 minutes and I really thought that was a nice change, but since she is only 21 months old I had to go peak at her (honestly, there is nothing in her room right now that could get her in trouble it's almost empty).

When I opened the door she was so PROUD of her pretty outfit: four dresses over her jammies!

Tayvie is very particular about what she will wear already. She likes to pick out her own shoes, if I pick them out she tells me "No" and then picks out the ones she wants. Most days she won't wear the shirt I pick out for her... so yea, a lot of days she doesn't match, but she's happy!

... for the record, today's outfit will be changed to something a little less fancy.

Color Me Orange

I have NEVER seen anyone so excited to carve pumpkins as Ayla and Tayvie! Oh my goodness! I was just laughing at them! You can't tell in the pictures but they were so excited! That was like the most fun they've ever had!

Check out this GHOST HAND in this picture. ~OoOooOooO~

This is Ayla helping make my costume. I was a coloring book. Later Tayvie added some nice finishing touches.

They were crayons. The cutest little crayons I've ever seen.

By the way, I had the hardest time finding jogging suits without a print on them!!! Who would have thought that would be so hard! Never actually found any, ended up turning the tops inside out! Also, they got to be the ONLY colors I could find in their sizes- but it worked.

We went to Legacy Retirement Villiage on Friday night and went trick or treating to the residence there. That's my kind of trick or treating! In doors and every couple steps you get a handful of candy-- good candy! The girls got WAY too much!
Halloween night we did out trick or treating at Grandma & Grandpa Cole's, and the weather was actually pretty nice for trick or treating. Tony was in Las Vegas cause our cute nephew Ty was being baptized on Halloween day! I was sad I had to miss it, but Dr Hartman said no to the trip~ Atleast Tony got a nice little vacation! We missed him though and we were so excited when he came home!

Baby Update

The girl picture below:

A bit over 35 weeks. These ultrasound pictures are from 3 weeks ago and 5 weeks ago (I think). They're hard to see, I know. Lot's of little nose and lips pictures again. A few weeks ago we checked again and she is still a girl, that picture is pretty clear.

So I've been going to the Doc weekly now. I've been having lot's of contractions, sometimes even painful ones, a few that have woken me up in the middle of the night. It all means we're getting closer to meeting this little girl!!! We keep counting down. Right now the count goes something like this: Thanksgiving is 2 weeks away and 2 weeks after that we will have the baby!!! Two weeks goes by fast!!!

At yesterday's appointment the Dr hooked me up to the stress test machine and we got to listen to her heart beat for about half an hour. During the test she got the hiccups and that was so funny to listen to. The Dr took some measurements of her head and her tummy and everything looked good and she passed the stress test.

I've been really sick the past two weeks. I think I've had the swine. I had the H1N1 shot last Tuesday but probably already had it before that... or maybe this is something different. But it's not been fun, all I want to do is sleep. ah. sleep.......... which is very unusual for me. Hoping to get better SOOON and that these little girls I have will stay healthy, healthy, healthy, and Tony too!

We're getting excited for THANKSGIVING!!! (My FAVORITE holiday!!!) and we're all just super excited to meet our new baby, the girls know it's getting closer. Ayla has been asking me to show her how to hold the baby and all kinds of questions about what will happen and about the baby. Tayvie spends so much time taking care of her baby and kissing my tummy and doing raspberries on it and giving the baby loves. I can tell they're both getting excited!

So at this rate my next post will be after the baby is born! haha! Hopefully not! I still have Halloween pictures to share and the first snow of the year... aah, I'm so behind, but things have been busy, busy around here, atleast I'm surviving! :)
