In honor of Boompa

We were with Grammy and Boompa on Saturday night and Boompa asked why Kinsley's hair was always done on one side of her head. He didn't know why her pony couldn't be on the other side or why she couldn't have two ponies. I tried to explain to him that some mornings I'm even lucky to get a pony in. So this morning, I decided to do Kinsley's hair on the other side. (She was already have major meltdown so this was a challenge.) Here is the evidence.

I know it's not the world's best picture, but she had a little bit of Mama's attitude about pictures and didn't really want it taken.

Fashionistas

I finally broke down and put the girls in their winter jackets. I didn't want to do this yet, but the time has come. Both girls have new jackets and hats and were excited to show them off.

Gotta love those big brown eyes, even though you can't see them very well. Thanks Grammy for the adorable hats.

Trick or Treat

This year Keltie decided that she wanted to be Minnie Mouse so Grammy made her an adorable skirt and ears to go with. She has been wearing them ever since she got them just waiting for the big day. Grammy also got Kinsley a duck costume. As much as Keltie was excited about her costume, Kinsley was the exact opposite. I tried her costume on the other night and I should have had the video camera because I'm sure we could have won $10,000.

When the big day came, I was armed and ready with the camer while Kevin got her ready. Of course, when Daddy's there, there isn't any excitment. She fought it a little bit, but it was no big deal. The girls were both adorable in their costumes. Since Kinsley is walking now, she was so cute waddling around. We won't actually go trick or treating on Halloween, but they had a lot of fun going to the few houses we did go to. Here's our duck and Minnie Mouse.

Sitting pretty.

"Waddle, waddle."

Pumpkins Part 2

Here is the picture of the pumpkin that Kevin carved as a surprise for the girls. It turned out really cute, but Keltie was disappointed because it didn't have a face on it. I guess you can't make everyone happy.

Grammy Day

Grammy is spending the day with the girls today. As I'm sitting here at work, she sends me pictures. Rub it in just a little bit more! I'm glad that they can spend time together and have fun. Here's their day so far:

Yes, they will be on a sugar high when I get home. Too cute!

It's Official

Well, we can now officially say that Kinsley is walking. It all started on Sunday when she was moving all over the house. It continued yesterday and our babysitter even remarked at how much she was able to move. Last night she was all over the place. It's so much fun to watch her because she isn't real steady yet, but she's getting there. You can hear her coming even when you are in the other room because she is talking as she goes. She is getting better at standing up in the middle of the room, but hasn't quite mastered it yet. Kinsley has already learned to follow her big sister around. Keltie thinks that this is fun now, and I'm hoping that this continues. I know that I've been waiting for this, but I'm sure in the next few weeks, I might be rethinking. Love you, Kins.

Pumpkin Fun

This year, we only had two pumpkins that made it in our garden. Like last year, they ended up being huge. Since it was so nice yesterday we carved one of them. (Kevin did the other one later, but I forgot to get a picture of it.) Keltie had a lot of fun playing with the pumkin "guts."

Daddy and Keltie making just the right design. Keltie wanted eyes like ours, but Daddy decided against it since he was the one doing the carving.

Kinsley wanted to come by Mama as soon as she saw the camera out. Keltie was just waiting patiently.

The first piece of the "guts." Oh the excitement!

What else is in there?

"Yummy." Just as I was about to take her picture holding on to it, she puts it up to her mouth.

The finished product.

Nice work!

Mama and the girls.

Keltie's silly face.
