Fall Happenings

I was looking through my pictures and found some good ones that I forgot to post. So here are some fall happenings:

The Zoo with Grammy

"Where's the bear, Lila?" "There."

Stand like the flamingos, girls

Behaving herself in Ballet

Hayride/Pumpkin Picking

I'm not sure what she's trying to inject into this pumpkin

My beautiful girls!

Catch the Phever!

Hayride

We went on a hayride last weekend with our group of friends, but Katie's camera was the only one that got this picture of everybody. I finally managed to steal it off of her blog. It was a really fun fall night!

No Surprise

Have you ever heard of a little girl who takes her tutu off in the middle of ballet class and wears it on her head?

Now you have.

Funny Conversation

Lila and I were just talking about when I she was in my tummy, and here's the hilarious conversation:
M: You used to kick me from inside my tummy.
L: I did?
M: Yes, do you remember being in there?
L: (nodding her head) mmm-hmmm.
M: You do?!
L: Yes.
M: What did it look like inside my tummy?
L: There was lots 'a' junk.
M: Really, like what kind of junk?
L: Like worms,..... and bones,.... and junk.
M: Hmmm, I never knew that.
L: Yup - that's what I remember.

New Couch

...and I love it!!!...

Another First Day

Today was the first day of Lila's preschool program. She'll go once a week to a church down the street for two hours.
So far, I've been pleasantly surprised at her behavior for "school". Both yesterday and today, she was sitting quietly and listening to the teachers. Thank you, Lord. I shouldn't be surprised - I've certainly prayed about how she'll do at school. She's just such an unconventional child, that you never know. When I asked her what she learned about, she said, "Listening ears, and quiet mouths, and walking feet." OK - good. She really liked the program today, and next week the firetruck comes! I did leave her with an extra kiss from Mommy in the palm of her hand. Yesterday, the teacher said she was teary and kept saying that she needed just one more kiss from Mommy. :( The kiss in the hand thing seemed to do the trick except I remembered to do it after she had already started sand play - I had sand in my lip gloss all morning!
