Our Little Pretender

On Sunday, Nicolette was pretending to be lots of different things.  For each one, she'd put her hands up to her eyes/forehead and nod her head.  Here is a cute video of her doing it at the restaurant:  (11/11)

Star of the Week

This week, Gabrielle is Star of the Week at school!  She made the fanciest poster I'm sure her school (or any school for that matter) has ever seen.  She got to be the leader in class and share her poster at circle time after they sang her the Star of the Week song.  

Here is her fancy, glittery, all decked out poster: (11/6)

Sleeping in a Big Girl Bed (Sissy's)

Tonight, Nicolette fell asleep in Gabrielle's Sharkie bed when Daddy snuggled with her.  She looked so tiny in it!  (She was later moved to her crib so Gabrielle could sleep in her own bed.)

Presidential Voting

The girls were very into the election this year and helped Mommy vote.  Gabrielle has asked a lot of really good questions this year about politics and the job of the president.  Gabrielle was very troubled this evening when going to bed and Mommy told her Obama won.  She wanted to know why Mitt Romney didn't win and said that maybe we will know better in the morning.  As usual, she is wise beyond her years.

Pumpkin Patch 2012

On Sunday, on our way back from Bakersfield, we stopped at our favorite pumpkin patch at Faulkner Farm in Santa Paula.  Here are some cute photos of our quick stop:

She carried this little pumpkin around the WHOLE time (she even gave it kisses)!

So beautiful!

Picking the pumpkin for our jack-o-lantern:

Dimple-delicious!

Nicolette was NOT getting in that wheelbarrow!

Our big girl modeling in the wheel barrow:

We shall be back to enjoy the rest of the fun (hay pyramid, hay maze, corn maze, tractor ride, food, pony ride, trebuchet.....)!

We Witness History!

Today, the girls went down to the beach to witness a big moment in American history!  (Daddy saw it from the roof of his office.)  The Space Shuttle Endeavor flew right over our heads 3 blocks from our house as it came off the ocean path and over land.  It was really an amazing sight to see!

Our Little Puppeteer

Gabrielle and Mommy made a puppet theatre for our house and we just finished it yesterday.  Gabrielle cut it out and helped sew it.  Here is Gabrielle trying it out this morning:  (9/14)
