Nothing But Daddy Will Do!

This weekend was fun!

Saturday:

Travis and I went to see Where The Wild Things Are. It was really good! It is most definitely NOT a kid movie. It is much darker than the children's book. If you read the book as a kid, though, go see the movie!!

That evening, Jayden went and spent the night with Mimi and Travis and I went over to our friends' house. Carlos and Emily are new at our church, but we adopted them pretty quickly and it seems like they have been here forever! :) We were there along with another couple of our friends, Leigh and Tong. We had dinner and carved pumpkins! It was so much fun...

Sunday:

We celebrated our firefighters on Sunday. Each year, our church puts on a lunch for our local firemen. We have a big bar-b-q and it is fun to get to visit with and meet the men who serve our neighborhoods. After we ate, I took Jayden to say, "Thank you" to the firemen. She acted all shy until we were starting to leave and then she decided to blow kisses at the men. They all melted and there was a simultaneous, "Awwww". It is so fun watching grown men buckle under the power of a little girl! :)

After church we went and bought Jayden's Halloween costume. I love it!!! She kind of picked it out herself. She walked right up to the package and started making her monkey noises!

Today:

Well, today Jayden had a rough morning. She really Really REALLy wanted her Daddy and since he works downtown it makes it a little more difficult to get a quick fix. So, I tried to console her and we went outside. I tried to take pictures of her with the jack-o-lantern, but she didn't want anything to do with it. We started to go on a little walk down the driveway, but the entire time she was calling out to Daddy and when she realized he wasn't there...she broke down...

After that last picture I decided we had to do SOMETHING! We went inside and called Daddy. That didn't help very much. She just kept crying for Daddy. So, we loaded up the car and headed downtown. We had a great lunch with Daddy and then headed home for a nap. Her day was much better after that! Daddy fixes EVERYTHING!

This evening, Jayden and I went out to check the mail, like we always do and Jayden fell down...like she always does! She always trips and falls on the way to the mailbox. Today...it was different. We got our first really big ouchie!!! My poor baby! She was so brave though. She did cry...really loud and really hard...at first. But by the time we got upstairs to the first aid kit, she had calmed down and let me clean it up without much of a fuss at all. I was so proud of her! It is a little uncomfortable for her to walk on it, but she tries if asked to.

That is about it for now. Kenley is still growing and I am becoming less and less comfortable. I think I have started to have a few contractions (the feel very different at this point, but could still be braxton hicks). I go to the doctor on Thursday, so I will be sure and update everyone then.
