Trick or Treat

CE went as Tinkerbell this year. We went out with the Wasse's up to the top of Madrona hill to trick or treat after a pizza dinner at our house. Since she's not the most outgoing of kids Halloween is a bit of a tough holiday. She would not let us take her picture. This is the best I could get. 

Pajama Day

Every school day since Sally's arrival CE has asked if I was taking her to school and I've said no and watched Sean pull out of the garage with CE in tears. As today is Halloween and Pajama day at school I decided to give it a go and take her. Of course it's pouring out, but we did it! She was all smiles and she let me leave her within 10 minutes. Sally was a champ too.

Sharing

Carrie Ella shared her Hoot with Sally this morning. Now that's some sister love.

Big Sister Party Day

The Wasse's came by and met Sally today and then took Carrie Ella for a very special outing with Charlotte. As they left they were chanting "big sister party day! Big sister party day!"

Agenda, (as told to me by CE), went to U-Village made ornaments, ate dumplings and green beans, had Menchies, played on the playground and topped it off with a visit to the toy store where she came home with a truck and an owl. Such fun! So spoiled. 

Feel so fortunate to have friends like the Wasse's. 

While Mommy was away...

Daddy kept CE busy.

Celebrating Sally!

Carrie Ella and Daddy celebrated the arrival of Sally by making birthday cupcakes and singing. 

She's planning on bringing them to her friends at school tomorrow. 

CE's having a tough time missing me while I've been in the hospital. I miss her too. Looking forward to getting home to CE and Sean tomorrow!

Grandparents/Special Friend Day

Michelle spent some time with CE at Giddens this AM. She got to join their bi-weekly morning sing, see CE in her classroom, plant a flower bulb and play for a while. 

So grateful & thankful Michelle was able to take the time from work to be with CE.

As its a yearly tradition at Giddens, I hope that someday a grandparent can join her. 

Daddy

Last night, for the first time, Carrie Ella called out for her Daddy in the night. "Daddy. Daddy. I want my Daddy." So very sweet, and very timely as the two of them will be getting a lot closer soon.

Happy girl

Remlinger "Farms"

We met some friends at Remlinger "Farms" today. A fun time was had. CE rode her first pony and enjoyed playing with Evelyn. (We'll go to a real pumpkin farm once Mammi arrives later this month.)
