October 25 - Ward Halloween Party

This morning before school, Hazey just couldn't believe how cute Crosby looked.  He asked if he could take a picture of "his cute little face and his cute little eyes."  Of course I let him because - cute.

I bought Nora a new coat at Target last night.  She just couldn't even believe her eyes when I told her the coat on the couch was her new coat!  She immediately stopped everything (i.e. packing a Target bag full of miscellaneous items from her room) and put the coat on and wanted it zipped right up.  Then she gleefully hopped around the room gasping and giggling and saying, "This is my new coat, huh Mom!"

Had to snap a pic of Cros in the swing because A) he had such wide open eyes that were happily looking around and B) he looks so tiny in the swing, but C) he is getting bigger every day!

He slept last night from 11:30 - 5:00!!!!!!!!  I mean.  So I also bought another blanket exactly like this one to see if that will help this trend continue.  (Again - little, but getting bigger.)

Andlie looked so cute today.  Or I should say, Andlie looked like a grown up teenager today.  So I snapped a pic.  And her pose made her look even bigger!

Speaking of blankies, Shennie has bought each of the kids their blankies and they've clung to them!  So I took a picture of everyone with their beloved blankies from Shennie to send to her this afternoon.

Ward Halloween Party tonight!  We went with a hippie, a rainbow princess, and a ninja!  (Me, Bry, and Cros were there too...)

Nora's mind was B.L.O.W.N. when we showed up to find Snow White at the party.  Her smile says it all.  She marched right up to her and started chatting her ear off.  She couldn't get enough and truly could not believe her eyes that Snow White was standing right in front of her.

The big kids ran around and did their own big kid thing.  (I can't believe they're old enough to just wander around parent free.)  We (mostly) kept an eye on Nora and watched her bounce around socializing with her friends.

Nora & Sally H.

And we watched her stick to Jessica like glue all night long.  Jessica is our babysitter and Nora LOVED that she was wearing a princess dress.  I'm 100% sure she wasn't trying to, but Nora kept telling her that she was dressed up like Princess Sofia.  (Maybe because the dress is purple.)  Wherever Jess went, Nora followed.  And would not stop chattering to her.  "We are both princesses.  I love your dress.  You are Princess Sofia and I'm a rainbow princess.  Hi, Jessica."  She even followed her in to the church when Jess tried to go pee.  And then talked our ears off all the way home about how she "saw Jessica" at the party.
