Pumpkin Princess

Instead of carving a pumpkin we opted for the easy route (I know, no fun) and bought Mr. Potato Head parts to decorate our pumpkin! Payton really loved knowing she was in charge of decorating! She's a take charge kind of girl these days.

'Cause Dana!

Being that Payton is now 2, she is getting into a bit more trouble around the house. Doing things like running away when told to "come here", slamming doors - cause she can, playing with breakables around the house, etc. However, when asked why she does these things she always blames it on poor Aunt Dana by saying "Cause Dana!" We can't figure out where this came from (and can't help but snicker and smile when she says it - even though I'm supposed to have on the mean mommy face to let her know she's in trouble)!!! The things kids say!

Still searching for kitty - Olivia is trying to help!

Thankfully aunt Megan caught one to pet!

Our 5 seconds of sitting still....grandma tried so hard to get a picture of Payton and Olivia together - too bad only one sits still at a time!

Payton has a secret to share...

"Who has a secret? I do! I do!"

"I'm going to be a BIG SISTER!"
