Lina and School
Lydia-ness
Lydia LOVES to watch the lobsters at Publix. She is fascinated with them. We were heading somewhere and while I was getting the car loaded Lyd is yelling for me to come see the lobster in the street (driveway). "Yes, I see it honey, let's get in the car now" knowing full well- there is no lobster. She continues with the "lobster" bit so I head over......to see the grasshopper in the driveway. Awwww.
Heading out the door to go get Lina from school. Lydia yells- "there's a wurm" Uh, no. That would be a SNAKE dear!!! Then she says, "it's just like daddy". Well, Daddy can be a stinker, but he's no snake so I ask her to explain. "It has bwack hair like daddy". Yup, black snake. : )
We watched the space shuttle the other night. COOOOOOL! We watched it on TV and once taking off we went out to the driveway. "The space shovel is getting the moon" reports Lydia.
One Month Later
Here is Papa, Grammy, and girls!
The following week was Halloween. Lydia LOVED Halloween....and Lyd doesn't LOVE much. Lina enjoyed herself and loved her costume. Here are my little sweeties....candy corn fairy, M&M, and a package of Smarties. Poor Lila had an ear infection the entire month of October and first week of November. 3 antibiotics later she is finally "all clear".....and now has 6 teeth working their way to the surface.
Little Pumpkins!
Lila loves Cheerios....and peas even at the same time. Gross.
Now 9 months old! WHA??? Finally sitting up on own, but doesn't get to that position on her own. Still no crawling or pulling up. Seems there is another late walker on our hands. Lila Joy gets "rescued" a lot so I am sure that has a lot to do with it. Why work to get something when it will be handed to you? Why get up when someone will come pick me up (I am guilty of that)?
Well, we tried and we supported. The election didn't go as I had hoped and prayed it would, but that heavy feeling of "oh dear" is slowly subsiding. Although come January I am sure that will surface again. I truly can't believe how people think this is going to be a good move. We'll see...and pray. Here are my little Republicans on Election Day!
We took the girls to the UCF Homecoming parade, tailgating, and game (I left with little girls after 1st quarter. Lina stayed the whole game. Thanks to the Brinks and their help!!) Here we are waiting for the parade. Why, yes. Lydia is wearing red cowboy boots. She loves those things and I chose not to battle that....just brought the Keds along.
It had been a L O N G day. Here we are ready to go in- but wait- the car went dead so Bob called AAA and they came to jump us. Soooo happy we noticed that BEFORE we went into the game. The girls were playing in the car and apparently turned the key....where were the 4 adults that were supervising you ask? Hmmmmm?
I have no more pictures for this month. I have been trying to take more video. I need to learn how to share that here.
