1st Hayride

Brookdale Farm

Today we went to Brookdale Farm in Chesapeake w/ our good friends. The kids had a blast. We picked our own pumpkin, played in the kids area, went through the soy bean maze, went on a horse drawn hayride, & brought home some pumpkin butter & cranberry salsa.

Skylar & Emily

This week we had a visit from Skylar's Grandma & Grandpa & her cousin Emily (who is only 5 months younger) They are having so much fun together. Skylar can be a little bossy at times but she still gives Emily hugs & kisses & calls her in the morning...she yells up the steps..."Emmy...Emmy" so cute! So far the girls went to Skylar's tumbling class, an air show, & the petting zoo. They are staying until Wednesday.

tumbling class

We've been stuck at home all week because of the severe rain, tornado & flood warnings. Oh yeah...and our roof is leaking! The rain kept waking us during the night. This morning Skylar woke up at 5 am & after I gave her some milk I put her back to bed. Since it has been darker in the mornings we both fell asleep. I woke up at about 9:15 & Sky was still asleep. I remembered we had tumbling class so I quickly got dressed & then Sky woke up. I got her dressed & turned on the news. They mentioned that a lot of roads were flooded so I thought we should leave early. Skylar took 2 huge stuffed animals, a sippy cup of water, a bottle of milk & a gluten free breakfast bar. As usual I put on her Clifford video w/ the radio.....after she cried I switched the volume to her cartoon. She dropped the stuffed animals during our trip & started to cry. She also decided not to drink her milk until we got to the parking lot. I waited for her to finish & hoped she didn't do a #2 during class. When I picked her up she handed me her water bottle which leaked & left a HUGE wet spot on the front of her skirt. I spent the entire class telling everyone it's just water...not pee :) At the end of class someone told me that Sky had beautiful curly hair & asked if I did that w/ a curling iron? I told her that Skylar just rolled out of bed & that's what it looked like. I was thinking....Who in the world has time to curl a 21 month olds hair for a 10 am tumbling class????
