Boos and Zoos

On Friday, October 26th, we enjoyed a nice day out visiting the Witches of Gardner Village. lil' K, lil' Luke and I went with my Mom, my sister, her kids, as well as Kin. We had so much fun finding all of the witches. lil' K's favorites were in an outhouse & riding a bike in the air. We took a break to have lunch and look in the toy store. It was super crowded, but lots of fun!

Today my sis and I took the kids up to the zoo. For being UEA, it was not too busy, but colder than we had thought it would be, but thankfully we did have jackets. We didn't see many animals because we made a quick trip and let the kids navigate, which made moving slower. It was nice to see Antoine the Ghost of the Bayou and say goodbye, he'll be leaving the zoo in the next few days. We love the zoo!!

Watch out for the Scarecrows!! Kids and Antoine the White Alligator

Dinner Bells a Ringin'!

For two weeks this month, we were staying at my parents' house while they traveled. One day, right after lunch, lil' K was still thinking about food. She asked me, "What are we going to have for dinner?" I told her I didn't know. She then said, "Maybe I can find it." and began to look in the cupboard full of cans. After pulling out a few cans and lining them on the counter, lil' K exclaimed, "Dad will be so excited!" Needless to say, we did not eat what she had out, and will not until I find a recipe to contain these ingredients.Yummy!

The Leading Lady

I thought that was me, up until lil' K came along. In the last 2 years, lil' K has taken an extreme liking to the Disney Princesses. It all started when she saw the movie Cinderella and has grown immensely. Last year for Halloween, lil' K was Cinderella. Now, she loves to get dressed as Cinderella every chance she gets. lil' K loves to role play as such princesses. Sometimes it is Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Jasmine, the list goes on. She goes as far to repeatedly tell me, "I'm Cinderella." when I call her lil' K. As for my part, I play the roles of "the mice" or "step-mother" in her pretend play. Kate also loves to listen to Disney music. When we listen to Aladdin's "A Whole New World," I am allowed to be Aladdin and must sing his part, while lil' K sings the part of Jasmine. She does quite well at it too. But that is what it has come down to. I can't sing her part and get the small roles. Maybe mother's win for "Best supporting actress."
