Pumpkins

We decorated our pumpkins this week! Claire saw Chris planning his carving by drawing his face on his pumpkin which inspired her to paint many different faces on her pumpkin. Shay still just put all the colors on her pumpkin while Chris and I did carvings that took a lot longer than the girls so we were working on it after they went to bed. They were so excited to see them in the morning and called daddy's scary and mom's a pretty princess. I've had people mistake mine for Mulan and Jasmine but it is supposed to be Belle, I don't mind the others since they are also princesses from the same time period I guess.

Claire

Claire has had a fun week practicing the songs and lines for the primary program we have in a few weeks. She remembers a surprising amount of the 8 songs and sings with me each night to earn a sticker to go on her PJs for the night. She is also getting good at saying the line "It shouldn't be hard to sit very still" where the first time shouldn't sounded really bad and she still says really instead of very. I personally have loved our singing time and how excited she gets to say her lines, she is the sweetest little spirit and is so friendly and welcoming to others.  The weekend has been so rainy and the girls liked playing with the umbrellas when we had to get them out to pick up the toys outside after waking up to a wet world!

Shay

It is not fair that she is growing up and getting more independent, she didn't even cry and miss us when we went to the temple this week and had Nana Kathy come play with them. She was so excited to show off her toys and playroom that she let us leave without crying or whining, luckily she was excited when we got home! As soon as I thought she was a big girl, she had a hard time saying goodbye in the nursery and when daddy went to work. At least they are both still cuddly at times and Shay loves to cuddle to fall asleep which is most often on the couch together. There was even one day that we were all napping together as a family Chris on the couch with the girls and mommy in the comfy bed.
