A visit to the pumpkin patch

It was a beautiful day on Saturday and we went for our annual trip to the pumpkin patch, only this time with our little Lydia in tow. Double the fun!

 
Getting ready to explore the hay maze.

Big sister leading little sister through the maze.

A girl is not complete with out a pink heart painted on her cheek!

Playing in the corn was so fun!


Leave to us to find the ONE pink tractor in the place!


Watch out when it's time for us to drive!

These horses will have to do, the real ponies were running late that day.

We are ready for Halloween!

After much debate and discussion, Gabby has finally decided what she will be for Halloween.
It couldn't be a princess cause some kids in her class think princesses are for babies.  But she knew she wanted a dress that had pink, purple and blue. I was trying to steer her towards the fifties dress or Dorothy from Wizard of Oz.  But then she came across an outfit called Harajuku Cutie ( kind of a Japanese punk rock girl)  that had all the colors she was looking for and it was no longer up for debate.   After we got home and did the makeup and hair to match,  I  quickly realized that the days of simply dressing as a ladybug or  black cat are over.  Of course when Gabby was getting dressed up, Lydia began to strip down too, so we got out Gabby's first Halloween costume...the ladybug princess which Lydia looked adorable in.  When it came time to put on makeup...Little one was right there in line for the lip gloss!  Poor Rob...the teenage years are going to be lots of fun for him!


Adding the finishing touches to our costume.

Not even two yet, but quickly has learned how to pucker those lips for the gloss.

A girl can never be too sparkly!


Too cute for words.

Mirror, Mirror...


Well it's not a mirror exactly, but Lydia sure had a good time with her reflection she found in the oven door.
Looks like another sassy girl in the house has been created!

The first video she is telling off her reflection, saying no and pointing that finger
 (whereever did she learned that one?)  What cracks us up is her expression as she walks away, a mad smirk on her face, she is ready for her Oscar anyday now!
The next two she was playing peek a boo and cracking herself up. 
She was very aware of the camera at this point.
