Fun Times!

Man I love this time of year. Having Lizzy has only made it 100x's more fun and more eventful. The weather has been beautiful (usually hot but some really great cool days as well) and it's not even halloween yet and we've already had the chance to do some really fun things this year!

I have a new (substitute) dropshots page right now. Someone changed my password and blocked me from my current dropshots, but I have an email into their staff so hopefully it'll work out soon.

Anyway, the new site is www.dropshots.com/ElizabethJoy That's were ALL the fun pictures are of the last week or so - but I'll post some highlights.

Lizzy had a great time with the Charleston Mommies group last Saturday. We all went pumpkin picking, ball bouncing, hay mazing and more. It was a really fun day and all the kids had a great time.

Then Tuesday we were right back at the Wescot Cornfield picking MORE pumpkins and this time painting them, and having a blast with Lizzy's preschool! Liz and her best buddy Riley were pretty much joined at the hip the whole time, they had a great time playing around. (It's so hard to get Liz to smile for pictures these days, she's such a busybody she wants to be looking around all the time so as not to miss a single thing going on around her! Stop for pictures? No way mom!)

After all that excitment, Lizzy's Nanny got back from Hawaii this week. She brought Lizzy the CUTEST little hula outfit. Lizzy LOVED it. She's put it on at least 50x's in the last 3 days. She loves dancin around the house and clankin those coconuts. Check out the dropshotspage for a video of her dancin. So funny.

And if THAT Wasn't enough excitement (and crazy pictures) we got to go to the Disney Princess's on Ice last night! OMG That was so cute. Just walking in the Coliseum felt like we were walking around Downtown Disney... Princess Music Playing everywhere, fun statues of Mickey and Minnie all over the place - everyone was selling stuffed animals, snowcones in Mickey or Princess cups, wands and tiara's galore! It was so fun! Lizzy and I were both ear to ear grins walking around and looking at all the other little girls dressed up! Riley and her mama were already seated when we got there, Riley was all dressed up and had a Princess Hat - she looked so cute! I had gone to Walmart before we went to the show and picked up some fun things to keep the girls busy, so here's a picture of their new wands (Disney was selling wands for $25... I found these at Walmart for $1 each. Gotta love that!)

The girls looked SO cute all dressed up together! I took a ton of pics but none of them turned out all that great... here's one of Lizzy all ready to go (an hour before it was time to leave) ;)

And here's one last picture of the girls as the show was ending... they did so great for over 2 hours!!! When the show finally let out at a 9:45 they were both tired but still troopin. They'd had a great time! I brought along some princess coloring books, skittles, popcorn and gummie bears and it's a good thing I did... that kept Liz busy whenever she'd start getting squirmy. As much as she loved the princesses it was kinda hard to sit for almost 3 hours. (The show started at 7:30 but we got there at 7)

Okay. So by the time we got home, my kiddo knocked out until 9:30 this morning! I'm having SO much fun with this girl! She's finally at the age where she can really enjoy it all. Today we're meeting the Charleston Mommies for lunch at Wild Wing (we were going to have a park morning but the weather's rainy here so we bailed on that and settled on lunch) and we *might* take Lizzy trick or treating this afternoon at Hampton Park downtown, they're having a big party for kids from 4-6 but we have small group at 6:30 about 30 minutes north so I'm not sure as we'll be cutting it close. I'll have to see how Liz does with her nap this afternoon, if she's up by 3 or so we'll probably go do it. Although I'm kinda pooped with all the craziness of late... I might just be happy hanging out at the house this afternoon. We'll see.

Now I need to go get ready for lunch. :)
