Santa

I took Kylie to go see Santa today. She was eager to go sit on his lap, which is much different from previous years when she just screamed. She told him what she wanted and received a piece of chocolate. When we got to the car, she said, "I told Santa I wanted games and movies, but all he gave me was a piece of chocolate."

Last night, we were watching Max and Ruby on TV. This must have been an episode that she's seen WAY too many times. They were bird watching and I said, "Oh, that bird looks like a brown thrasher." She said, "No. It's a speckled warbler." Sure enough, it was.

After much internal debate, I took Kylie today to get the H1N1 vaccine. She did fine...we have to go get another dose in 30 days. I'm hoping it was the right choice. It's been very difficult to find the vaccine here in Augusta.

Today we also walked in the Memory Walk for Alzheimer's. It was a 3 mile walk, the highlight being a train that blew past us, tooting its horn and screeching its brakes. My friend, Melissa, suggested that we next raise money for the "Deaf Children's Fund."

Pumpkin Carving

Frustrated

Kylie came down the stairs the other night and said, "I hit my head. I am so FRUSTRATED!" Haha!

Mom and I took Kylie, Mia and Ella to the grand opening of the new Food Lion. They have little toddler sized carts that the girls could push around. We made each of them a list with things to put in their carts. They LOVED it! Leo, the Food Lion was there. Kylie said, "He looks like Dandelion from my book." The girls also got stickers. Now, Kylie only wants to go to Food Lion. If we go to Kroger, she gets mad. I took her back to Food Lion the other day, on a normal day...not the grand opening. Kylie said, "Where's Leo, the Food Lion??? Where's my sticker???" Back to reality, Kylie.

Last night, Kylie picked out some skittles from the Halloween candy bowl. She said, "I'm going to eat this candy when we get back tonight. Is that a good plan?"

We recently carved our pumpkin! Kylie dug right in there and helped scoop out the goo. She loved it!

At the Fire Station...

Kylie had a great time at the fire station with all her friends!

Painting the Pinata!

Here, Kylie is painting the pinata we are making for our Halloween party!

Doctor

Today, Kylie had to go to the doctor. The nurse asked what was wrong and Kylie told her, "I have a red and swollen eye and a snotty nose." The nurse said I didn't need to be there. Later, the nurse told Kylie she was going to eat her up, to which Kylie responded, "No." It ended up that Kylie just had a sinus infection. We got the go-ahead to continue with our trip tomorrow to the pumpkin farm and corn maze.

Cookies

Kylie helped me make cookies the other day. When Paul ate one, she said, "Aren't they FABulous??""

We went to the firehouse for a tour on Thursday. On our way there, Kylie yelled from the back seat, "I bet they have a hose!!" She was excited to see the firemen in their uniforms. When they said they were going to put them on, she yelled, "I have a unicorn, too!" I'm sure she was referring to the ride-on unicorn that she recently acquired.
