Sarah's Nail Salon

Looks like our little girl is growing up! Here she is playing with her first manicure set complete with lip gloss, pink & purple nail polish, and of course Dora the Explorer press on nails! Daddy was a good sport and volunteered to be her first client! :-)


A little lip gloss for Daddy!

Painting Daddy's nails

The press on nails didn't last long, but they were still cute!

Here's a cute video of Sarah & Daddy "in action." There are a couple of "firsts" going on here! Enjoy!

Some Afternoon Fun

Who knew yard work could be so much fun?

Halloween 2009

Sarah had a great time trick or treating on Saturday and has been having an even better time sifting through her loot...daily! :-) She was "Spot the Dog" this year which turned out to be a great costume idea since we didn't have to worry about bundling her up to keep her warm. She did a great job saying "trick or treat," but she was a bit reluctant to offer up any "thank you's"... at least until she made sure the candy she had just received was safely inside her bucket. :-)

A special thank you to Grammy for the costume and Grams for decorating her plastic pumpkin to look like a dog bone! We got a lot of compliments on both!

Below are a few pictures from our trip around the neighborhood. Be sure to check out the slideshow on the right hand side for more pics of Halloween 2009! Enjoy!


Starting out...


This bucket is starting to get a bit heavy.


Yep, it's all in there!


Lazy man's trick or treating!


Taking a break with Daddy

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

We recently joined Sarah's preschool for a trip to a local pumpkin farm for an evening of face painting, pumpkin decorating, & Sarah's first corn maze. It got to be pretty cold as the evening wore on, but everyone had a great time. Sarah really enjoyed herself and it was nice to spend some time with her teachers and friends outside of school. :-)


Here is Ms. Megan giving Sarah her spider web tattoo...temporary of course! :-)


Decorating her pumpkin...


The finished product.


So cute!

We all had a great time doing the corn maze too. The maze was really neat and was cut out in the shape of the USA. There were 20 stations along the way with a trivia question for you to answer. Sarah loved trying to find each station and then trying her best to get the hole punch for her answer sheet to work. :-) Here's a quick video of one of our stops.

See-Saw Horsey

See-Saw Horsey...Sarah's new favorite game!

Finally, a Beautiful Fall Day

We've finally had a couple of beautiful fall days here so Sarah & I headed over to the zoo & playground this morning to take advantage. We had a good time with our friends Heather & Audrey and got a couple cute pics in the process. :-)

Meow!

Happy Early Halloween!
