Happy Halloween!

This has been a BIG week for Bella! Her Aunt Jill/Uncle Remek had a baby girl...another cousin! Cousin's are very important to her!

We chased bad people Thursday as Batman and CatGrammy! She decided I could be a good cat-person not a bad cat-person..so we tag-teamed those bad guys!!

Friday is Halloween and she is very excited about getting dressed up and coming over to 'trick or treat'! Can't wait to see her all dress up!! Mommy is going to "do my make-up" to quote Bella!

Batman and CatGrammy!

          HAPPY        HALLOWEEN!!!!

Such a Beautiful Day

It is hard to believe that Halloween in next week..the weather has been perfect!  Bella and I decided it was too nice to be indoors today so we headed to the Zoo! (Our favorite place to go!) The Zoo is all set for Halloween and Bella got to see all the great decorations!  We were amazed ... there was only a handful of people and no wind...so no mask!!   Bella decided she wanted to walk today around the Zoo so we didn't bring her stroller and she did great!   We got to see the TARF group...love them!!

The carousel was great fun ... rode it three times...she couldn't wait to go again!  Rode the train around and she ended with one last carousel ride.

Love you Bella-beans!! Thank you for having so much fun with me today!

Riding the carousel before heading home!

Pumpkin painting, riding her four-wheeler around the driveway, running up and down the driveway, being "Elsa" and "Tinkerbell"...and it's only Wednesday! 

Train ride!

Today (Friday) Bella wants to give a "royal" performance of  her costumes to "Ariel Shelly" because "her haben't seen Merida hair". (Thank you, Shelly..in advance..because she wants to bring ALL her costumes over!!)

Let's Fly A Kite!!

"It's really high, Grammy!!"

It was a perfect day to fly a kite!  Bella read the instructions to me so I would be certain to put the kite together correctly.  She had some serious doubts that I'd get it put together and have it fly!  So with our kite completed we headed up to the corner church..open field..no trees..and with Papa's help we got her butterfly kite airborne!  She was so excited!!  We had a blast running around getting it up into the air and once it was up she took over flying it.  We will have to do it again!  

Bella colored this picture.."Paper Artist" app on my phone!

Princess Belle

We have had so much fun dressing up this week!  Today she is Belle...yesterday she was Rapunzel and Cinderella!  It is so nice being in the presence of royalty! She loves transforming into each princess and performing various scenes from their movies.  I have learned to wear many different hats this week!!  Today family starts arriving for our reunion!  Bella is "So 'cited!!..Daddy's cousin's coming!!"

Pumpkins and Cousins!

We headed to the Owasso Pumpkin Patch so Bella could pick out some pumpkins for the yard.  She seemed to like all the smallest one the best but found several good size pumpkins as well.  She was amazed at how many pumpkins were laying around!  

Her first choice! We put that one back..couldn't even roll the wagon with that one!

Her first selection was way too big so we started looking at smaller ones!

Family came to visit!  Cousins, Aunts, Uncles...Bella was very excited to get to meet more "cousins"...basically everyone seems to be cousins to her.  Works for me!!

First Time For Everything!

Tonight Bella spent the night!!!  We were all so excited!!!  We had lots of fun stuff to do..baking cookies, camping out in the family room, dress up... We ended up in the regular bed for the night but had fun eating cookies and watching silly movies in the family room!

Windy outside today...so the mask went on!

We started out watching movies in the family room!
