New additions to our home!

I am excited about these next few items that we brought into our house over the last week that I wanted to share them with you!

First is Loralai's new bed and vanity!



We have to give a special thanks to my cousin Lissa for very kindly handing down her daughter's bed and vanity to Loralai! Loralai absolutely loves the vanity and the bed is just perfect! I am going to add a couple of hooks on the wall and get her some play clothes and jewelry. Finally she has a real bed as opposed to just a mattress on the floor! It makes a huge difference for Mommy and Daddy trying to get out of her bed quietly every night after we put her to bed (I know we are bad laying down with her until she falls asleep!). The vanity (since it has seen it's way through two small cousins) might need a little TLC eventually with a sanding and some paint, but the fact that Loralai is only 2 and still a little hard on things, the vanity is perfect just as is!

This addition is my new best friend! I love my new Blackberry Torch :)

I really thought about getting the Iphone 4, but honestly I loved my last Blackberry, and was not sure if I could really let go of my BBM (Blackberry Messenger) and the keyboard, so I knew that the Torch was the only way to go for me! :)

We had such a fun Halloween! We painted the pumpkins in the morning and trick or treated around the neighbourhood that night! Loralai was too shy to actually say trick or treat at anyone's door (even though we practiced and she became so good at saying it), so Mommy took that task and Loralai just casually stuck out her bag lol. We probably went to about 15 houses in total and most of them were to people we know on our street or on Grandma and Papa's street. So Loralai probably got about a half a bag full of candy, and beli
eve me that is more then plenty for a 2 year old (and her parents that seem to be gravitated to the bag as well)!


In the first picture we have the Daddy, Mommy, and Baby pumpkins. The Daddy pumpkin is the one we actually grew in our backyard! How great did it turn out? We are proud :)

I am not really into carving the pumpkins, maybe because it just seems to be time consuming and is super messy. Plus although Loralai can participate, most of the carving tasks need to be completed by an adult, so at least with painting she can go to creative town, plus she just thought that painting a pumpkin was the best thing!! In the last picture I asked her what she was painting and she made this scary face lol.

Is this not the cutest duck you have ever seen? We think so :)
