Playing in the leaves and more

We couldn't have had better weather on a November weekend than we had last weekend. It made for a perfect opportunity to play in the leaves!!

Tackling Daddy!

Saturday night we had Grandma and Grandpa F (who brought with them Oscar and Dillon) for smores. Perfect evening for using the firepit!

Saturday morning was a big day for Cara! We gathered all her binkies (pacifiers) and took them to Toys R Us to sell them for a toy! Judge us if you will , but yes we have allowed her to use binkies for naptime and nighttime up until now and for a long while we have known we had to break the habit. The lady working the customer service desk thought we were a bit crazy but went along with our story and allowed us to sell the binkies in exchange for a gift card that Cara could use to buy something special.

walking out with her new toy, a CD player complete with karaoke micrphone shaped like a Princess carriage. She LOVES her new toy!! It was a great trade off until time to go to sleep that night and it was ROUGH!! She cried and begged to go back to the lady to buy her binkies back, it was so sad. Although by night #2, no tears or cries. Thank goodness, it was breaking our hearts to make her so sad, even though we knew it HAD to be done!
