Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween. We hope everyone had a great Halloween and all our little ghost and goblin friends got lots of loot. Campbell decided to be a lion this year. She has the ROAR down perfect, but the trick or treat part we need to work on, right now it comes out as tic teat. We went to a few houses but her favorite part was putting the candy in the kids bags when they came to the house. Here are a few pics of our little Lion.

I was also able to catch her filling up her pumpkin with the candy we had for the kids. Please note she only takes the Kit Kat bars. Click the play button to see the video.

Haircut

We finally got Campbell her first haircut this weekend or should I say, I finally convinced Steve Campbell needed a haircut. Between the food in her hair from having it in her face to the on going war I had with her over keeping the clips in her hair so she could see, it was overdue. So Grandpa, Steve and I took her to the fun kids place at the mall thinking she would love it. We got there and Campbell sat in the shiny red fire engine and thought it was pretty great........until.........................




the nice lady at the store came at her with the scissors and comb. The picture below tells the whole story.


She wanted nothing to do with the cartoons they had on, the cheerios, or the toys she got to sit on. Good thing there were not that many hairs to cut and the whole thing was over in just a few quick minutes.

As soon as she was done Grandpa picked her off of my lap (she had to sit there so that we could hold her hands down) and she got a balloon and some very cool sun glasses and it was like nothing ever happened. The end result was worth it though.

This weekend we also went to the MSU football game, we stopped talking about the actual game for fear Steve might have a stroke. We did have a wonderful time as always tailgating with our friends. Here is a picture of us before we went into the game. I am still waiting for us to be selected at Meijer's tailgate of the game.....I think we should win. See you guys in a few weeks so we can do it all again!

Fabulous in Fur

Aunt Nora and Wiley came over today for a play date, as always we had a great time and can't wait to do it again soon. They brought with them some very special things for Campbell, one of the items they brought is a set of pink sparkly furry Barbie slippers. Campbell loves them and will not take them off, she took her nap in them today and would have worn them in the bathtub if I didn't stop her. She cries when one falls off and now has added Barbie to her vocabulary. Also in the picture below is a shiny new pink purse they gave her, she is ALL GIRL! Thank you so much Aunt Nora and Wiley for a wonderful day and for all the special gifts.

Hey Good Lookin Watcha Got Cookin

This weekend we setup Campbell's kitchen set and she has been cooking ever since. She loves it and plays with it for hours on end. I was lucky enough to get her to stop playing for a minute and smile for the camera.

She does her best cooking in the microwave........do they really learn from example?

She also likes to taste test everything she makes and each time says UMMMMMMM! As if to say I found my calling this is delicious. Daddy put in his request for cookies but is still waiting.

Every good chef needs an assistant which is why her favorite monkey Curious George always goes grocery shopping with her.

So if your in the neighborhood stop on over for dinner, Campbell is doing the cooking!

Pumpkin Patch

This week we went to the Pumpkin patch to pick a pumpkin. We had a great time there, they had a petting farm, a terrific playground, and of course a ton of pumpkins.

There were soooo many pumpkins to pick from it was hard to choose just one.

We ran through the pumpkin patch until we finally found the perfect pumpkin.

Then we loaded up our wagon until we could hardly pull it.

After all that playing and running through the pumpkin patch there's nothing better then some cider and donuts. Campbell even shared her donut with Grandpa.
