Bad Blogger!!!!

ok, I've been a really bad blogger. I have no excuse. I'm still trying to remember I actually have a blog. Me and the computer are still learning about each other.

anyway, the little one is 1!!! this Sunday she had her b-day. Now, that was a quick year!!
I can't believe it. she now walking, talking, and bossing the whole family around.....even Paige.
all she does is yell and they give her what she wants. very independent little girl. she finds things to entertain herself very easily. I have to admit, fred and I have not been very good about having "age appropiate" toys for her in the play room. she uses her brother and sister's toys. loves star wars and playing in the play kitchen. Where all the little pieces are. Although she did get some toys for her b-day. she really loves the dolls. "her babies"

my BIG girl!!!

yes, it has happened. Kylie has started taking steps on her own.
It first happened on Tuesday. While we were at the park. No body
was really paying attention to her. Thats the type of kid she is. She amuses
all by herself. she started walking to another toy. (probaly about 4 steps)
once we noticed, Paige and all her friend were all around trying to get her to
do more. The poor thing, always has to have Paige in her face!!
Anyway, she still is not walking regularly. But, you can see her well on way.
And believe me, Fred and I are not encouring it. Big brother and big
sister are on a mission. Although, Kylie does enjoys keeping up with them.
My little baby is growing sooo quickly..its so hard to savor every
minute!!!

trick-or-treat

ok...Mike was spiderman(his latest craze) he had two costumes. If you've seen spiderman 3, you know there are 2 spiderman suits. One is black and one of course is red. he decided he would surprise us with which one he would wear to trick-or-treat..

Halloween...

Paige had her little program at school on Friday. It was so cute, she knew all the songs and the sign language real well.

I made cupcakes for everyone to bring to there partys. Even Kylie had a little Halloween party at the gym playroom. so, she brought her cupcakes too. I also did some goodie bags that looked like a bouquet of candy....so cute!!

First swim meet!

On tuesday, Paige was asked to be part a swim meet. Where her and Mike do there swim lessons.(my healthclub-Boston Sports Club). The instructors chose whom they thought would

be good contenders. Unfortunely Mike was not yet ready. He says he really wants to do the next one. Which will be in March. Paige was trying hard to be brave and confident about this.

Yet, I could see the fear and anxiety all over her face. Did I also mention she was the youngest to race. and the smallest! She raced against an 8 and 10 girls. she actually came in 2nd!! They had to swim 2 lengths of the pool. If it were one length it would have been real close.

Haunted Web!!!

Mike and Paige designed what they called the "haunted web." they had Fred and I stay away from the basement until they were done.

It was scarier in the dark with just candles. And of course they hiding and jumped out when we started walking into the web. (I think Mike was the most scared...even though he was doing the scareing!!!)

bad habit!

I made the mistake of taking Paige every so often to the nail salon when I need to go. Now she thinks she is supposed to come with me every time I go. She very rarely makes it out of the salon without several smuges. This time oddly enough made it home with nails in tack.

(she got one fixed before we left.)
