Lunch with Granny

Snug as a bug

Yes, that is mommy's robe.

Haircut

Molly's bangs were getting in her eyes so it was time to take some length off. The hairdresser was able to get her hair up. Ribbons were attempted. Attempt failed.

Kisses!

Cozy morning!

Molly has been enjoying mommy's robe.

A love affair...

...with my robe?!?!

Molly is having a personal relationship with my robe. The lights in our bathroom were off, but we could hear her in there singing to it. N peeked in and saw that she was wrapping the belt around her hands and basically caressing my robe. When Molly saw him she told him to get out. I then snuck up with my camera and took this:



More potential future blackmail? Quite possible.

Chillin' with Temperence...

Yesterday Carina and Temperence came over for the day while N helped Chris move. Carina stayed here with the girls while I ran out to an appointment. I brought In N' Out back for the mom's lunch and Temperence was VERY interested.



Once both girls were down for their naps Carina took off for an appointment of her own and then met up with Chris to help him finish moving. N got home a little bit after Temperence woke up. Once Molly woke up it was all about play time.

Temperence is fascinated by pretty much everything Molly does:



Gotta love those eyes!



Temperence also loves Sadie and loves calling her dog:



Gotta love the little perches kids find to sit on:



Temperence also LOVED the game of chase Molly and N played. By this point Molly was starting to get a little jealous and tells N to only chase her and not Temperence. Luckily Temperence didn't hear and/or didn't care.

Future blackmail

The other morning Molly was not interested in clothes whatsoever and only wanted to wear her Sleeping Beauty panties. Fine. Whatever. We had no place to be. I then go get dressed and when I come out I discover Molly found a pair of my socks and decided to accessorize with them.

First she wore them as gloves.



Then she switched over to stockings. She's also counting out mommy's red toes.



Yup, excellent future blackmail we've got here. More pictures were taken, but I'll keep those in my back pocket until I really need them.

New workout?

Those are little board books under Molly's hands and feet. She's been "walking" across the kitchen like this for the last 10 minutes.

The things kids do...

Trick or Treat

Since Molly's birthday is in October I've always done Halloween themed parties. From the cake to the goody bags, everything is Halloween. As a result she seems to be pretty into the holiday. Last year we went trick o' treating to a few houses, but I think the concept was a little much for a 2 year old. This year I had much higher hopes and was not disappointed. Molly was totally into it... and not just the trick or treating part. When we walked around the neighborhood she was taking in EVERYTHING. She loved all the decorations. She loved all the costumes. The whole candy thing was a nice bonus too. However, it was definitely secondary to taking in all the details as we had to remind her more than once to say trick or treat and get out of the way of the other kids. Molly kept stopping and would turn around to ask us if we were seeing everything she was. It was beyond adorable.

Molly's hat was a little hot to wear so she insisted on holding it. The problem was she kept holding it above her purple pumpkin bucket which made GETTING the candy a little tricky. Here she is getting into the swing of things with Granny Marsh.



Approaching our first neighbor...



Woody and Buzz:



Woody and Jessie:



Molly likes to travel with an entourage:



Five Little Pumpkins?



All done:



For those of you wondering why Molly went as Woody from Toy Story instead of Jessie it's simple... that's who she identifies with. Ever since we took her to see Toy Story 3 in the theater back in June she has called herself Woody. N is Buzz and every now and then I get Jessie. Hence the Halloween costumes. Molly would refer to herself as Woody and N as Buzz when playing. However, I personally think her identifying with Woody has everything to do with Bullseye. Toy Story started her obsession with horsies and it has been holding strong ever since.
