Happy Halloween!

Young Love

Amelia has a crush.  She is absolutely obsessed with a little boy named Finley.  So obsessed she wants a little brother so she can name him Finley.  He is a cute boy so I get it.  Luckily, he's pretty obsessed with her too.  Aren't they so stinking cute together?

  His mom and dad and I decided we're going to make them recreate this shot when they get married...

Look at the way he looks at her.  Oh, so sweet! And he's such a cutie!



My girl loves fire trucks as much as her mama!

October - Super Hero In The Making

PBS has a show called WORD GIRL.  Amelia decided she HAS to be Word Girl for Halloween.  Well, they don't sell Word Girl costumes anymore so luckily this mama knows the basics of sewing and is going to try and make Amelia's costume this year.

So this...

Plus this...

And a few more nights of sewing will hopefully look something like this -

Monkey girl!

Amelia has mastered both ladders at the park.  She has done both about 100 times without help but I still find myself holding my breath when she's on them!

Dance/Gymnastics Recital

Working on her handstand

So  tall!

Sweet girl waiting her turn.

Hanging from the bars

Peeking over the bars

First position

Somersault

Here Amelia is doing a somersault.

Writing on the Wall

Amelia is starting to learn how to write some letters. Here she's writing an "H" and an "O."

My little giggle box

Here's a video just to listen to - you really can't see anything - but I could listen to it over and over again!

Dance Pictures

We got back Amelia's dance pictures.  So cute if I do say so myself.

FINALLY!

I finally mastered an arm balance in my yoga class the other night.  I even held it long enough for the teacher to snap two pictures.  So, about six or seven seconds.  :)

Carnival

We took Amelia to a mini carnival the other weekend.  She had a blast and Mommy was reassured that spending money to go to Sesame Place next week isn't going to be a complete waste.

My Recent Craft

This weekend during the never-ending rainstorm I cleaned the play room.  Instead of throwing away some little toys Amelia has collected over time I upcycled them and made them into a wreath.  Old toys = new play room decor.  :)

Fun with Olivia

Amelia and Olivia are friends from dance class.  This past weekend we dodged the rain
at the mall and the girls had fun riding some of the rides inside.

Stink Face

Good thing it wasn't a real butterfly - she would have scared it to death with that stink face!  :)

Budding photographer?

A budding photographer? Maybe. Here's some pictures Amelia took of me the other night.
