Happy Halloween

This was the first year that Brooke really got to go trick or treating in the neighborhood. My little tinkerbell also got her first taste of a lollipop and she took one lick and said "I like it". I wonder if she will ever go to sleep tonight after all the candy she has eaten.

Today was school picture day at Mother's Day Out. I would love to tell you that I have a beautiful picture of Brooke to share with you; however, she was way to scared of the photographer to have her pic taken. She has such a phobia of strange men that she wouldn't go anywhere near the guy. They sent home my money and a note saying that they decided not to traumatize her anymore. I guess we will try again next year.

Down on the Farm

We spent the weekend with Aunt Mary and Uncle Steve (or Uncle Gus as Brooke called him.) Brooke loved driving the gator with Mary. She was a little afraid of the cows because they are a lot bigger in real life than they are in her books. She would get about 5 feet away from the fence and they would moo and she would run back to me saying, Mommy scared!

I LOVE ELMO

We don't go anywhere without Elmo. She sleeps with him every night.

Go Yia Yia!!!

Brooke and I went to Dallas this weekend to see Yia Yia walk in the Susan G Comen 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk. Brooke made a great cheerleader and yelled for all the walkers as they came by.

Looking for the Great Pumpkin

Brooke and Ben loved the pumpkin patch and wanted to pick up all of the pumpkins and carry them around the patch. Brooke insisted that she could pull Ben in the wagon, not realizing how heavy he really is. We looked all over for the Great Pumpkin, but we never saw him.

I love my Bling Bling

Brooke's favorite thing to do with her Mr. Potatohead is to put on the earrings and wear them around the house.

Driving Poppy's truck

Brooke was so excited when Poppy let her drive his truck. It was different from her car, because the wheels actually turn when you turn the steering wheel.

Joe did his first triathalon and Brooke was there yelling "Go Daddy". This is her wearing his medal for finishing.

My new hat!!

Brooke has her bloomers on her head as a hat and I wish I could find the picture of me doing the same thing.

This is what shopping should be

Wendy and I went to Memorial City Mall and the kids loved to play on the playground. In fact they both cried when we had to put them back in the stroller.
