Halloween

This year, the girls decided what they wanted to be for Halloween. Logan wanted to be a lady bug so I bought her costume from this cute website.  Peyton checked out the website to get ideas and she spotted the Pink Lady costume.  She initially told me she wanted to be a spy as she pointed to the Pink Lady costume.  I explained to her that the little girl wasn't dressing up as a spy, she's a character in a movie that mommy use to watch.  I also had to tell her she won't be seeing Grease any time soon.  :)

Halloween evening, I took lots of pictures before it got dark and then we headed to the neighbors house to attempt to get a group picture of all the kids.

We ended up walking around for a while and then Logan decided she wanted to go home so we could pass out some candy.  That wasn't until after 7:15 so we missed a lot of the kids and ended up with two bags of candy left over.

Sweet Words

Sometimes my little Peyton can say the sweetest things.  Saturday evening, after Geoff and I came home from the movies, I was sitting on the sofa and Peyton came to sit on my lap.  She gave me a big hug and whispered in my ear, "Mommy, I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever forget about Grandma."  I hugged her so tight and tears just came running down my face.  I told her, "I will never forget her either Peyton, ever!"

7 Years Ago Today

Peyton is celebrating her 7th birthday today. Seven years has flown by! She was born at 1:29 p.m. on a Saturday. Peyton was a month early so Geoff and I were barely prepared for her arrival. I remember it all so fondly. As much as I miss the baby phase, I love watching her grow up in to a beautiful girl.  Happy birthday to my sweet Peyton!

A Pumpkin Carving Party

This past Sunday, we went to our friend's house for a pumpkin carving party. I didn't have this year's Halloween costumes ready yet so I picked out a couple old costumes we had around the house and told the girls to pick whatever they wanted to be. Logan picked Peyton's 2008 Halloween costume, Alice in Wonderland. I think she made a cute little Alice. Peyton decided she didn't want to select from any of the costumes I chose so she headed upstairs and picked out her own. She came downstairs in her Mike Trout Angels t-shirt, sweat pants and an Angels baseball hat. She told us she's an Angels coach. Perfect!

The girls had fun carving the pumpkins. I had to clean all the seeds and mush out of the pumpkins, which was pretty unsettling for Logan. She was completely grossed out by it all. Peyton ended up making a cat and Logan made a "scary guy". After we carved pumpkins, all the kids enjoyed a Halloween inspired marionette show.
