It's been awhile!

I have been so bad about posting pictures or anything for that matter lately! I am sorry! We have been busy with day to day things...school ( which Sarah likes now), errands, projects, the new house and now the holidays! Sarah has been a busy body from the moment she wakes up until it is time to go to bed at night. Whew! Now that Thanksgiving is upon us we have been trying to get her to say "Happy Thanksgiving!" It is not happening. She misses Halloween. Maybe it was all the candy ( certainly not the ghosts, she has developed a small fear). Sarah instead greets us with " Happy Halloween-giving!" in hopes that she receives candy I am assuming. Once she figures it out we are going to be moving on to Christmas!

If she could paint all day she would. We have been enjoying the nice weather outside with paints, chalk and crayons. She had her school's Thanksgiving Feast today and seemed to enjoy it! I was one of the mothers in charge of helping organize our classroom food so being that I was so worried about forgetting my food/decorations, I only brought my phone to take pictures. Way to go, Mom. I have a feeling she will be wearing her Indian headdress again next week. Like mother, like daughter.

Boo!

Sarah LOVED Halloween! She was dressed as her favorite Wonderpet, Ming Ming Duck, and got the hang of trick or treating pretty quick. We went down to Main Street in Georgetown where the entire neighborhood participates and all the homes are decorated and everyone is sitting on their front porch handing out candy. It was really fun and we will definitely do it again next year, especially since we bought a house a couple of blocks down in Old Town Georgetown and we are renovating and adding on. But that's another story/post! :) We also took her to the Methodist Church to pick out a pumpkin in their pumpkin patch. She wanted them all but we finally settled on one and let her paint it. She loves to paint and doesn't like ooey gooey hands so we thought that was a better choice this year than to carve one. We had a great Halloween dinner provided by the Turkovics loved seeing Alexander in the cutest "little German boy" costume around!

Cowgirl Sarah

We had Sarah's 2nd birthday party last weekend and celebrated it Western style! We had pony rides, a mini-horse to brush and bunnies to cuddle with. My dad painted cardboard boxes to resemble a Western town where the kids could go in and out and poke their heads through for a picture. Great food, great fun and great company! Thanks to all who came to celebrate! She had SO MUCH fun and watching her smile and laugh the entire time brought so much joy to Jordan and I. It couldn't have been better!

Birthday Girl!

Sarah turned 2 last Thursday and we have been celebrating all week! She TOTALLY understands the whole birthday things..cake, presents..attention. :) Jordan and I were excited to give her a play kitchen ( that took HOURS to put together...ahhh, memories) and she has loved everything that her family and friends sent her way to celebrate. Thank you, thank you everyone! I will add her 2 year stats tomorrow after her doctors appointment. She talks all day and can speak full sentences and ask you questions, etc. She has turned into such a small person! Her favorite things to eat are chicken, rice, beans, bananas, yogurt, corn dogs and caesar salad. She loved caesar salad...cracks us up since it is the only green thing she will eat at the moment. She plays with baby dolls, loves puppets and anything with crayons and paint. She wants to help with everything and says "my turn" when she wants to do something herself. So far there is nothing she can't say or doesn't repeat...like I said, I have a talker. Sarah loves her family and friends and giving everyone hugs. A true social butterfly and pure drama queen. We love you Sarah!

Painting Pumpkins

Phone pics...sorry for the quality!

Sarah LOVES to paint, draw, color...you name it! So we decided to paint some pumpkins for our front door the other day. This is all she wants to do now!

Tailgating

Sarah and I went up to Fort Worth this past weekend to watch the TCU game while Jordan and friends were starting demo on the new house...more about that later! It was a hot game and while we didn't last long in the stadium, Sarah enjoyed being social and flirty during our tailgate to all those college boys! Uh oh! :)


Sorry for the "not so good" quality of the pictures...they were all taken with my phone.

Go Bears!

Let's make some noise!
