Little Miss Fashionista

You know how boys somehow manage to turn anything (spoon, stick, cardboard tube) into a weapon?  Well I'm convinced that girls have that same knack when it comes to fashion accessories.  

This child is constantly going through my closet and will come out wearing my shoes, hats, and jewelry.  When I'm cooking supper she will go through my kitchen cabinets and find all the jelly jar lids she can possibly fit on her arm to wear as bracelets.  Anything and everything that she finds throughout the house, somehow becomes an essential part of her outfit and she doesn't understand when I don't allow her leave the house wearing her "must have" accessories.  (Oh the disagreements I can only imagine are in store for our future...) 

I know she doesn't get this from me.  For any of you who know me, I've never been good at accessorizing with purses or jewelry.  Fortunately for Anna Cate, she has an aunt who understands her passion.  My sister Debra Dele use to be the same way when she was little.  She would load every item of fashion she could find onto herself until she was buried beneath a pile of purses, jewelry, scarves, etc.  To this day, she is still the one who sports a new piece of flair every time I see her. :)  She cleaned out her closet last week and brought Anna Cate some of the goodies she was going to toss.  Now we have even more purses, hats and bracelets to dress up with.  Thanks Aunt DDs!

Carving our Pumpkin

When Will got home from work last Wednesday night, we sat outside and carved Anna Cate's first pumpkin.  Our favorite expression right now is when she gets really excited and opens her mouth really really wide! Will tried to recreate this face on our pumpkin.  

All three making "the face."


"I'll sit here, but I won't smile."


"Ok Mom, enough with the pictures already!" 
Oh, and don't you just love the muddy hunting boots in the background sitting on the porch?  ;)

Silly clown feet


Fun with Friends!

Once again I have let too much time go by between posts!  These are some pictures from playgroup a few weeks ago at our house an of the library last week.  Enjoy! 

Anna Cate and Ian sharing a cup of tea.  CHEESE!

Anna Cate and Bella reading a book.  It was so sweet to see them playing together.  This was the first time that I've seen her interacting one on one with another friend.  Usually, she just parallel plays beside her friends or the children in the nursery at church, but on this morning, she and Bella would find a toy or book and actually share it together!  So sweet!!!


Everyone enjoying AC's playhouse! :)




Not sure what to think of the parachute.  What a serious little face. 


 The librarians had a special treat this week...a puppet show!! What fun!



Waiting in line to get her hand stamped. ;)
