Halloween and other Fun!

My internet hasn't been allowing me to sign on and update the blog. I finally got it to work, so here are a bunch of new pictures! We're doing great and have had a wonderful fall. We're looking forward to Thanksgiving with Nana and Papa and the exciting Christmas season ahead! Looking back, here are a few photos from the last month, starting with Halloween. Kaia wanted to be a monkey and she had so much fun trick-or treating! It's so wonderful to know all our neighbors and for Kaia to get to trick-or-treat with her friends!

Ready to go, Mom!

We traveled to Bloomfield for Grandpa Kurt's re-election. Kaia had lots of fun hanging out with her cousins and watching movies!

Berkeley wonders where he's supposed to sleep tonight?!

This is Kaia during a trip to Kohl's. Can you tell she loves accessories?

We got a chance to see Grandma Dorothy before she went to Texas! Kaia loved showing her the bear!

Apple Orchard!

In October we went to the apple orchard! We had so much fun walking around and picking out some apples! We took a ride on the tractor and had a great time!

Hmm...which apple to choose?

Memorable Maisy Moments

I had to come write this down so that I don't forget!

Last night was trick-or-treat and Kaia got lots of candy. We came home from the playground this evening and Kaia and I had decided to make pizza-she was very excited! While it was cooking she came to me and said..

M: "I want candy please!"
Me: "You may have candy after you eat supper."
M: "Please can I have candy?"
Me: "Thank you for saying please...you may have some after supper."
M: "I no like supper! I don't want any pizza! I want candy! Please! Please!"

This was repeated multiple times and included lots of crying and screaming. It became a full-on temper tantrum. I finally distracted her and she was excited for pizza when it was finally done. She did a good job of eating and when she was done she said...

M: "Please may I have a piece of candy?"
Me: "You did a good job eating supper and now you can have a piece of candy."
M: "Hooray! I'm so happy!"

She picked out a bag of Whoppers and I said...

Me: "I'm not sure you'll like these. Maybe you should pick something else."
M: "I DO like these. I eat them all the time!"

This cracked me up because to my knowledge she hasn't eaten these before. Turns out she did like them and is now asking me for "more please." Time to hide the candy bucket!!
