Having Tea with Pooh

Rex brought my attention to Kayley the other morning. Here she was having a good old time sitting at her table. She had carefully positioned Pooh in the seat next to her, and she was pouring him tea. She has been into her tea pot lately, and she has to bring you a cup and pour you some tea whenever she can. I love this age that she is at! She is starting to be more imaginative in her play and it's so much fun to watch!!!! I love my little girl so much!!!!

Halloween 2008 Beauty and the Beast

I haven't attempted taking the kids out trick or treating yet. I have a feeling this is the last year that I will refrain though! I loved trick or treating as a kid and I can't wait to see the excitement in my kids faces when they actually know what trick or treating is! In the meantime, I definetely don't miss the opportunity to dress them up!
I have to take advantage of the times that I get to pick what they are going to be! We did actually take them to see Grandpa and Grandma Kilian, Great Grandpa Smith and Aunt Sara! So their costumes weren't just for a photo shoot! Although I am guilty of that quite a bit! :) Enjoy the pics and Happy late Halloween!
