Pumpkin Patch!!

Sorry it has been so long since the last post!  Last weekend I came down with a stomach bug =( Fortunately I was the only one in the house to have said bug!  Soooo last weekend was a lot of laying around and Clint went to his co-workers wedding alone on Saturday while the babysitter still watched Maci and I lied in bed praying to feel better - YUCK!

So let's see what has been going on, lots of Fall Fun continuing at daycare.  Maci is a moving machine, still not fully walking on her own but between crawling and walking by holding onto a variety of objects, she gets around just fine!  Maci and a few other lil girls "rule the room" and are very good at making a mess lately.  The new game is to crawl around the room taking buckets of toys, dumping them out, laughing once the teacher looks and then off to the next bucket.  Please keep doing this at daycare and NOT at home =)  Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

Daycare doesn't think I believe how much she loves to paint - this picture was supposed to be proof :)

 HAHA - this was a picture they sent me of her trying to crawl under a gate. . . 

 Someone is getting some blondie blondie hairs!!!

 Pumpkin Puree!

This cracked me up. . . her friend Reese looks like she is saying "Maci, I dont know, I wouldnt check to see what is inside that pumpkin!"

But BRAVE Maci says "I will check it out for the both of us Reese!"

Ok so enough about daycare and all their fun learning.  We continue swim lessons on Thursday nights and Maci just loves to swim with her daddy!  She is getting really good at "dunking" under the water and kicking her feet.  We had to get a new swim suit this week since miss chubby thighs cant fit her current one anymore, poor girl is already having swimsuit issues!

Since I was sick this past weekend, I couldnt wait for the coming weekend with my little lady and Clint.  Especially because we had plans to go to the pumpkin patch!  The one we chose this year didnt end up being as great as the website showed but we had a great time anyway.  Here are a few of our favorite photos from our chilly day outside!

 HOW GREAT IS THIS PICTURE?!

You ask how I get her to smile for pictures?  

I sing "Booties Booties Booties rocking everywhere. . ." Yep our daughter likes Hip Hop music

 Got to Love the Maci "dazed" face in the family photos!

So then we get back home from some errands and Maci started her favorite game of making funny faces in the mesh on the side of her play pen. . . she just cracks us up!  This kid is sure forming a great personality!

Well the rest of the weekend is going to be some R&R, cleaning around the house & watching football all day tomorrow!  Yay, perfect fall weekend with my family.  We are getting really excited about Halloween being right around the bend too.  Thanks Grandma Gilroy for Maci's great trick or treat basket. . .personalized and all.  We look forward to sharing lots of Halloween pictures in just a few weeks.

Until the next post, have a great week!  We love and miss you all!

Lots of Love,
