Here we are again! After a few tired weeks, I'm finally making a point to take the time tonight and update the blog with some pictures. We've had some fun this month and wanted to share it with you...
Decorating pumpkins- Danika wanted to paint her little ones:)
Our littlest pumpkin:)
We gave Danika many options of what she could dress up like for Halloween(but encouraged HEAVILY away from Dora...I know, bad mom that my wishes come before hers!) I even took her to Target to look at the various costume's but because Haddie was using the same ladybug costume from when Danika was a baby, D decided she wanted to be the same thing...So we ended up wtih two little ladybugs:)
The big D bug showing off her wingspan:)
Little H Bug and daddy...
For the first year we actually did 'real' trick-or-treating:) We went to all the houses on our cul-de-sac. Danika wasn't so sure about going to stranger's houses, but after our neighbor loaded her bag practically half full, she decided she could get used to it:) After we'd leave a house she said 'Are we going to another one?'
After our neighborhood we headed to Elk Mound and visted Great Grandma Dummer and went to the farm as well, where we saw cousin Chloe all dressed up too!
Grandma, Grandpa and the bugs!
The excitement of getting all the goodies home and taking inventory!
"Hmmm....what should I pick?!?!?"
Obviously I'll pick a sucker every time if it's an option:)
And Hadster enjoyed her puffs too!
Aside from the Halloween festivities, Danika also started gymnastics class a few weeks ago! She loves it, but has a hard time following directions because she just wants to do what she wants to do:) She is loving it though!
Doing songs and exercises to get warmed up...
BIG balance beam...
Climbing on the big mat to get to the balance beam
Her favorite thing to do is the trampoline and sommersaults on the wedge mats. Daren took video of her in action on the wedge mat, but unfortunately you see more of my backside than her doing a sommersault, so I'll spare you that:)
Our typical days/nights at home the last month...
Haddie keeps trying more table foods. Her favorites seem to be chunks of cooked carrots, avocado, banana, toast and even tofu!
Danika has become quite the artist and is more interested in doing activities with paint, playdough, and stamps... (She was making a 'get-well' picture for Chloe)
Just another silly day with dad!
Haddie has found the pantry and when the door is open it's her top pick of places and spaces to crawl to!
Happy girl:)
On Friday night we went for a quick trip to visit cousins Connor and Madeline in Northfield. The kids (and grown-ups) had a nice time visiting. The sweetest moment that I had to capture was Connor reading Danika a couple bedtime stories...He was so animated and she was so engaged- Can we have you every night at bedtime?!?! ;)
Of course we had to take advantage of the beautiful weather on Saturday by getting outside and riding bike (before we had to spend 2.5 hours in a car for our drive home!)
Well, there's a short and sweet update:) Hope the last month has been a good one for all of you. Now that Halloween is officially over let me be one of the first to say.....
WELCOME to the Christmas Season!!! LOVE this time of year:)
Until next time...
The Dummers
Daren, Jamie, Danika & Haddie
