Hidden Treasures

I am always finding "hidden treasures" around the house now that I have a toddler. Anytime something is missing, I try to think like a 1 year old when searching for it; shoes in the trash can, hairbows in the guitar, money in the coke can box, etc. Unbeknownst to me, her latest discovery was the hole in my sewing machine case (where the handle pulls up when my machine is under it). I hardly ever cover my machine, since it is almost always in use, but I did move it to vacuum the other day. This was my discovery...

We've been looking for those crayons!!!

This is why she likes to go to Gramma's...

Kathryn's favorite thing to do while Mom cooks... I hope I never have a house with little to no counter space :)

Bibbity, Bobbity, Boo!

We had no plans of trick or treating, thus no plans for costuming, until Brad came home from work last week and told me they were having a little party for the kids at his office... So we scrounged around and came up with some little fairies... It was really fun to take the girls up to the office and have everyone ooh and ahh over them :o). His whole office was participating (15ish floors), so there were quite a few kids there, and some really cute costumes, and then, well... just some interesting ones.
Okay, so introducing, Katie Fairy...

And Olivia Fairy...

And this is how we were feeling by about 6:00... the "I Haven't Had My Supper or My Afternoon Nap Fairy"

Mommy and her biggest Fairy...

Silly me didn't get pictures before the party, so of course, every one was conked out by the time we got home and we got zero group shots... oh well. Next year.

Friends come to visit...

Kathryn's friend Shelby came to visit! The girls played so well together! It gave us some time to catch up with Jessica and Jeremy and made us wish they lived closer. Shelby was so sweet. She and Kathryn were constantly giving hugs and kisses (and many germs too, I'm sure :). Our neighbor friend was sick, but Adam came and brought Claire Bear (and an apple spice cake :o) so she could play for a little bit. What a great evening!
