Pumpkin Festival

Sunday morning Little A woke me up with a song... Sometime during the night she had gotten into my bed--and while I was trying to sleep in, she started singing a little song she made up. The song basically consisted of naming all the members of her family (including the cats) over and over to a little tune. I told her what a pretty song it was and asked for her to sing it again. She got a little embarrassed and motioned for me to turn back over. She would only sing it if I wasn't looking at her. So Cute!

It is so funny to watch 2 year olds play. Little A is now starting to "pretend Play" with toys. She makes little "set ups" and talks for the little people. Below is picture of one such creation. Little A carefully lined up the little chairs behind each other and placed a little person in each one. Then she made "choo choo" noises and told me that it was a "choo choo chair tain!" She was so proud of it that she went to get her sister so she could see it too. So I took a picture... The Choo Choo Chair Train

Finally Little A has enough hair to pull back in a hair bow! Hey, it may not be much, but at least a few sprigs are long enough! Of course, the hair bow didn't last too long on top of her head!

"Pebbles"

Sunday afternoon the girls and I went to the Stone Mountain "Pumpkin Festival". We invited Theresa, but I think she had had enough "family fun" for one weekend, so she didn't come. We had a great time. We rode the train, watched the "mad science show" and looked at the great pumpkin tree. The girls made " pumpkin silly putty", "hand crows"--which we decided look like turkeys, and several other crafts. Their favorite crafts were the popcorn balls with candy faces. Yum! Here are some pictures.....

One sure way to get Little A to smile---a slide!
