Before leaving for trick or treating

playing with her pumpkin

Got her first candy of the night :)

On to the next place

We kept trick or treating small this year due to the fact that Kady, Mom, and Grandpa are all sick. And also Kady was on a no nap kind of day was getting really tired. Plus how much candy does a 2 year old need? But she still really enjoyed herself!

pumpkins

Earlier this week we took Kady to the pumpkin patch and she absolutely loved it. She was busy walking around touching all of them. She would pick up the little pumpkins and say "no" and just throw them down. Good thing she didn't break any of them!

She found the one and wouldn't let go of it

Cakes as big as her head..lol

Singing happy birthday

A Minnie Bday

As we all know Kady turned 2 this past week and we celebrated by having a Minnie Bday party. We even let her wear her Halloween costume for it. And heck at least she gets to wear it twice. I feel like we got our moneys worth out of it :) And she left the ears on for a lot longer then we thought she would. She usually HATES to wear head bands but for some reason she kept it on for a few hours!

Kady LOVES her new kitchen that we got her for her birthday. On her actual day is when she woke up to his in the living room and she played with it for hours! She didn't even want to go bye bye which she usually loves. And by the looks of it I think Drew likes it too!

Kady wasn't a big help with her presents this year. I think she helped with just a few! She loved all her new stuff though! And she made out like a bandit!

Kady loves her new baby. She wouldn't put her down later that night. She gives her hugs and kisses when its bed time too. Now only if Kady would go to bed at the same time as baby! I'll save that story for a later blog.

More bday blogs to follow..

venting

So the other day someone made a comment, not to me, but it still gets to me. She had said that stay at home moms make more well rounded kids. So does that mean that i am hurting Kady by working? I thought it meant that i was providing everything that she needed. This person had then something like she works full time as a mom and those that work arnt full time moms. Well i beg to differ. I am a full time mom and work full time. I do both!! I may not be with Kady all day but i am still her mom and will always be an involved mom!

I think that comment hit me even harder because I'm feeling guilty for when she starts school. she will be in school all day tues, weds and thurs. which means she needs to be there at least by 8am ( they do a special thing just for the 2 year olds) and then Grandma will get Kady after work. Since both Jimmy and I will be at work until after her bedtime. So i really wont see much of kady those 3 days. Which bothers me! But we now have 2 set family days where we never had that before. And jimmy is off super early on Sat now so its only those 3 days that bug me.

Ok enough venting. Still feel guilty but i do know i am both a full time and a working mom

new toy/working out

Kadys Grandma and Grandpa found a great deal on a used sandbox that they just couldn't pass up. Its the cutest thing. Its a boat! She loves driving it. Once she is in it..good luck on getting her out :)

On some side notes Kady is really starting to say some more words. Granted some words may be missing letters but shes 2! I think she really surprised us when said "ungle" when she wants to watch Jungle Junction. But if i count how many she says now i think we are close to 20! And no we haven't gone to the audiologist yet. Not that we don't want to but her Dr's receptions has yet to call us back with the referral. And I've called like 5 times. But she goes for her 2 year well check in 2 weeks so I'm not worried.

And as i type this she is being hilarious! She is doing my work out routine. She does squats then goes down for crunches. (sorry i cant figure out how to rotate it)
