Oh boy do we love babies at our house. Natalie has a thing about bringing down everyone from her bed after naptime. This was all she could carry on this trip. She was pretty cute trying to get all her babies in her arms and then maneuvering down the stairs. She never stops making us laugh, that's for sure.
Our witchiest little witch with her warts. Right after this photo was snapped, a tremendous windfall of emotion erupted and the warts were removed by dad.
The Roaring Clown
Is she THE CUTEST Clown you have ever seen? If a costume can suit a personality, I think I got it right on target this year! Natalie was a huge hit in her little clown get-up and so darn funny!

Little Miss Witchy! We had a lot of fun trick or treating this year. The Ziemanns loaded up their trailer with hay and all the kids from the circle loaded up and rode in the back as we hit all the cul de sacs. All of the kids really seemed to have a lot of fun! Natalie was hilarious running to the houses saying Trick or Treat. It was her first year of really getting it. Josie and Raegan had fun racing to the doors. My mom came along too and enjoyed watching all of the kids run around dressed up. So much fun to see them get so excited about one day.
Scott was there too! He was doing most of the picture taking. However, Josie took this photo of the two of us together! W were both surprised it worked!
Josie with HER wagon. There was NO SHARING of wagons. Two independent girls!
Natalie & HER wagon of pumpkins
We finally made the time to get to the pumpkin patch! There is a family farm in Andover that we have visited for the last two years. They have animals, pumpkins and hay rides. The girls picked out their pumpkins and we visited the cows, llamas, pigs, roosters, sheep and ponies. The girls had a lot of fun checking out the animals. The burros ended up following me around when I was carrying my corn stalks. It was pretty funny. It started to rain just as we were leaving.
I must say, almost impossible to get them both to look & smile at the same time!
A long overdue update to the blog! Here's Miss Natalie being a goofy girl one day. Scott snapped some photos of her trying to sit/contort herself on the bottom of the chair. She is so much fun, but is definitely TWO! She is enjoying singing and trying her ABC's.

Campfire girl. I think Natalie is ready for a night in the great outdoors!

They were all dancing together to Kodachrome when I took this photo. It is a favorite old song of mine and now Josie requests it whenever we get into the car. The Petrons also love the song and had it so the kids all did their own version of booty & body shaking when it came on! We had a fun day playing together!
I love ice cream! Natalie is our sweets eater. Josie enjoys 2 bites (maybe) of dessert, but Natalie loves treats! She did a great job eating her ice cream in the muggy, rainy weather! Yummy!
The Tilt-O-Whirl. A favorite! Josie loves it as much as I do, and this was Natalie's first time riding with us! She was not full of smiles but exclaimed "That FUN!" When she was finished. We did lots of twirling and laughing!
Daddy & Daddy's girl! When you ask Natalie, she says "I daddy girl!" We were all standing in the rain watching Josie speed around on the little coster at the fair!
Twirling Hot Air Balloons. So much fun!
Josie was so excited for the carousel! She has been asking about since last fall (I think she started asking the day after the fair?) Needless to say, she was excited to take her ride on the horses.
Natalie did much better on the carousel this year. While she held onto me for dear life last year, this year she say by herself on a horse and giggled her way through the ride. We had a good time this year, despite the rain. The girls also seemed to have fun. We decided to call it a day when we were all dripping wet and freezing.
Here you can see a bit of the painting and flowers. I painted her room a few weeks ago. We changed from white with a picket fence and butterflies to teal & purple with flowers. She loves her new paint and did a little painting herself! Bed one of two is assembled and she is very excited!
OOHH!! So excited. She is helping/supervising me as I assemble the beds. I am not sure if she is more excited about the beds, or being able to skip naptime?
Making progress. Two beds in place! I got them assembled and Denise came over to help with the heavy lifting! We got them situated and ready to go!
Oh my! A happy girl atop her perch! She is so excited to have her bunk beds! She has been waiting a very long time to have her beds! She is loving being up so high! After Natalie woke up from nap, the two of them played on, under, and around the bunks for an hour! So much fun!
