I-LAN Park

We recently explored a new park - I-LAN Park in Leawood.  Absolutely beautiful!

Botanical Garden

We have been trying to spend as many days outdoors as possible the past few weeks.  Winter is upon us and we will soon be spending PLENTY of time indoors.  Plus fall is my favorite season - the crunch of the leaves, the cool breeze, and the colors.  I love it all!

Nothing says "I am a two" like a screaming fit throwing toddler.  Thanks Kate!

Coccinellidaephobia

Coccinellidaephobia - Fear of lady bugs.

On a recent trip to The Overland Park Botanical Gardens the girls began screaming madly.  Upon closer inspection, I found a fearsome lady bug on the stroller.  Then another one on Jillian's stroller belt.  Apparently this was enough to elicit fear and screams from my lovely girls.  "No bugs, Spiger, Spiger, no bugs!"  

Halloween Party

This year I decided to host a Halloween party for the girls and all of their friends.  It was an afternoon full of coloring, cookies, a pinata, cupcakes, and dancing.  They had such a lovely time with their friends.  As soon as Ava walked out the front door to go home, Jillian started yelling, "FRIENDS" and crying.  She didn't want the party to end.  But alas, dinner and bedtime were calling.  Next week we shall dance again.....

Madelyn as a super sweet ladybug!

Amelia S. as a doctor!

Amelia A. as Winnie the Pooh!

Ok so it was entirely too cold outside for a pinata.  Not to mention the 20 mph winds.  So we let the kids jump and sit on the ghost until he broke open.  All of the girls were fairly timid at first.  But it didn't take long before the stomping began and the ghost spilled his loot!

Madelyn in cupcake bliss!

Amelia S. leads off the dance party!
