Last month was a whirl wind! I got to participate in the Spartan World Championships,(as a commoner, so much fun!). Lucy had a birthday party. Visited the pumkin patch.We went to Utah.Watched Frozen on ice And we celebrated Halloween. Not to mention new school pictures. Where to start!
Lucy turned 4 on the 4th! We had a party for her on the 10th. Rented a bounce house, she was thrilled, and invited lots of friends and family. Party was a hit. Birthday girl...acted like all toddler birthday girls, we ate cake, hit a pinata and I believe it was a hit, thanks to the bounce house and My Little Pony accessories .
Made the anual trip to the pumkin patch. I was walking with Lucy and I mentioned going to pick out pumpkins and she asked me if we were going to go with Kimberly like we did "yesterday". I was suprised she remembered that from last year! So I gave Kimberly a call, she and Justin joined us in our pumpkin hunt. I think she was a little over whelmed by the size of the fields of pumpkins and it took her a while and a pit stop in the field to decide, with some help. Which pumpkin we should take home. Though the star of the trip wasn't the pumpkins for th corn pit! I had to drag her out of there!
We ran down to Utah for Charlie's baby blessing. Got to visit everyone including Dad. Lucy and Luke seem to enjoy playing with each other.
When we got back Lucy had her 4 year wellness check and surpasses expectations...except for memorizing her address and phone number. Which we are working on. I was suprised how quickly she picked up on the address. Our only issue now is getting her to say it in the correct order. While at the Dr. she was bouncing around and playing. The Dr. had a bunch of questions, one being, does she talk in compleate sentences. And I said yes, after all the questions we measured and weighed her. Checked her eyes and then proceeded with the check up. She sat up on the table and proceeded to tell the Dr a long story about her mom and papa and that she has a sister at her papa's house. The Dr. burst out laughing in the middle and said well my warm up time must be over! She talks extreamly well! She was really good about shots. I was a super proud mama.
Had the opportunity to see Frozen on Ice with Crystal and Lily. The girls had a good time. I kept telling Lucy we were going to see Frozen and they were going to play it out in real life on an ice stage and she acted like she understood, and was excited. but then we got there! Oh the wonder of Disney. She was so cute! She was pretty captivated with all of it, I think it was the most still she's ever sat.
Halloween! We were Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Frank was Princess Celecia. First we went to our ward Trunk or treat. Lucy was shy would barely say trick or treat and thank you. After a hot dog and a package of m & m's we moved onto our friends trunk or treat. I think the m & m's kicked in becuase she go the hang of it and quicky started saying trick or treat and thank you very loudly and would then report to me what they had given her. Either chocolate or candy and tell me Halloween was her favorite ever! After that we hit a few houses. The weather was perfect! One house had a few halloween statutes. Lucy was scared, saying mom, hold me! I held her hand and we bravely went to the door and back to the street. A couple houses later we came to one that was elaboratly decorated, there was a body hanging from the ceiling and a lady dressed up as a witch with glowing eyes and green skin. Lucy didn't even blink. Walked right up and said trick or treat! Seriously?! We came home with way too much candy and a very happy Pinkie Pie.
Lucy is so much fun. It's unbelievable how much she grows and learns day to day. She is also free with whats on her mind, it makes me laugh. One of my favorite things is when she's gotten in trouble and a few hours later she tells me all about it and how she wont do it again because of -insert her penalty here- and then she'll say sorry.She sure does love Frank, I love watching her play with him. She will attempt to share things with him as if he was a person, or she likes to tie blankets to his collar to make him a "scape!". He takes all ther loving very well.
