Halloween party, new activity table

We had a Halloween party/2 year Birthday party for Kaelyn's friend Mia here yesterday (Mia has the black cat outfit on) and here were all her little friends all dressed up for the event. We actually got some good pictures. Cannot believe we got them all on the sofa for more than 1 second! They were all just so adorable.

Kaelyn's hat was on again, off again all morning. She usually loves having that thing on actually, but I think with the whole getup it was just too much for her to handle.


I love the flying baby...you just see legs. He's like a Heroes character who just decides he's had enough and flies off.

I think this is one of the best ones. Little Rachel is propped up in the corner.

The kids are hangin out in the dining room.

My little flower

Caleb was so cute in his basketball outfit. He held on to that ball for a long time too...he was really into his whole look.

Here's Kaelyn's new activity table we picked up at Ikea last weekend. We souped it up with some little slipcovers on the chairs, a paper roll & a cute drawer to keep all her supplies in Barry rigged up underneath. It turned out cute. I need to paint or stain the wicker chair though I think.

She was enjoying her lunch at her new table.

There was really no reason for her to be this bundled up...she insisted on the hat. It was not very cold out, but she looks ready for winter here.

Kaelyn was helping Barry put her table together.

We pulled out her tools too so she could help us build. But of course, she was most interested in the real tools (the heavy, dangerous ones)

She was helping me pound the dowels in.

Last week we went to the Topsfield Fair. Here Kaelyn is enjoying some music, but really she was using the music as a distraction so that she could run off & be more adventurous. We left shortly afterwards...I got tired of chasing her.

She went with her friend Connor who lives across the street. He was much more cooperative.

Kaelyn likes to seat at the booster seat at the table sometimes instead of the high chair...I guess it's more of a big girl activity. She was really kicking back and relaxing this morning.

Still enjoying donuts from yesterday. I let her have 1 munchkin only...we don't want to start bad habits too early.

I broke out the cabbage patch kids the other day. She really wasn't all that interested. Mostly was concerned about getting that binky out of the dolls mouth, and then she moved on.

I only wanted to deal with small pumpkins this year, so every family member is represented in pumpkin form. Even baby. Kaelyn lounging out in the morning. This kid has it made.

We were at a birthday party last week and she was so concerned with putting this whole gettup together. She mostly got the backpack on herself, I only helped in the end.

This is the best video ever. She's a star now, showing off all her latest tricks.
