jack-o-lantern

Ashlyn brought home this cute little pumpkin from Preschool and told me that her teacher said we should light it on fire...  I had to think for a second and realized she wanted to put a candle in it :)  So as tradition goes, daddy helped her carve her pumpkin and she had fun getting the guts (or blood as she kept calling it) out. She even tasted it and said it was good. I'll take her word for it!

Still had some of her makeup from dressing up for school that morning

~Still eats ANYTHING... lover of food :)
~Waves bye-bye
~Says dada, mama and points and grunts at what she wants
~Shakes her head/body to music - so cute!
~Enjoys playing with Ashlyn and is really good at destroying Duplo buildings and towers much to the dismay of her sister.
~Puts up with her sister dressing her up, taking or "exchanging" toys with her.
~Gets excited about seeing and petting our dog (she used to be a little leery of him)
~Happy happy girl as always :)
