what H has been up to...

• dressed up as princess elsa for halloween. had 2 blisters on her feet after walking around all evening. she said they didn't hurt. fashion over pain i guess. her and her new friend anderson had fun going from door to door.
• had fun at the fall festival at her school. so cute to see her say hi to her friends and kids i have never seen before. lots of teachers seem to know who she is too.
• in a car ride to school, she asked if she could have chocolate milk:
• me: yes, if you are good girl
• H: i have been good
• me: you are right, you have been good in the mornings getting your clothes on and cooperating
• H: yes, i have calmed down
• me: (laughing) what? where did you hear that?
• H: (laughing) from you mama
• our little late owl has been going to bed close to 10pm these days. but gets up at 6:30am with no problem. instead of fighting with her to go to bed, we all hang out and all of us go up to bed a the same time. saves us from arguing for an hour and a half each night
• had a wonderful visit with grammy and grandfather. h stayed home from school and went on lots of adventures with them. library, wildflower center, walks and children's museum.
• framily weekend out at juniper hills farm. so nice to spend the weekend with everyone.
• doing well in swim class. she can swim a few feet, turn on her back, float and turn back over to swim a few more feet. so proud of her.
• h is looking forward to a date with her daddy and papa. they want to take her to see the nutcracker.
• went to her first wurstfest. she loves riding rides now and dancing to polka music. much crazier than the days without kids.
• had our worst tantrum on record. had to leave thunderclouds after swim because she wanted to sit at a certain table. amy carried her home kicking and screaming. she was screaming so loud that she couldn't catch her breath. it was pretty bad.
• she is able to sit thru movies now. we have seen lots of disney classics like beauty and the beast, cinderella, snow white, etc. last night, we even watched home alone. kinda nice that she pays attention for so long. can't wait to take her to the movie theaters now.
• princess this, princess that. this child loves her princess shoes and everything related to princess's.
