Sarah's playful side

Sarah is really starting to love active play.  Here she is playing hide and seek with Emma:

And here she is throwing the ball (she did this for about 30 minutes straight, always from the same spot in the room, and always rolling her arms):

Hop on Papa

The girls are clearly in a  Papa stage.

 And this is what Emma did when it was time for Papa to leave.  Sadly she seemed to have forgotten he could leave by the front door too:

Imagination

Emma's imagination has started to run wild.  She is constantly coming up with new, fun things to play.

Here she is in her alien/astronaut helmet, next to her space loving daddy, who is holding her rocket ship:

 Here she is with her canoe (the dog dish) and paddle.  She even let sister take a ride (though Sarah was very eager to bail out):

Here she is performing her new obsession, magic tricks:

Even Sarah is starting to use her imagination.  She loves to play doctor with Emma:

Here is some random pictures from the past week or so that we have of Sarah.

Mommy swears that she does this to herself:

 Sarah really seemed to enjoy her cheeseburger rice loaf dinner.  Mommy cannot believe she is now big enough to use a booster seat at the table:

 Yum!!!!!!

She has become very talkative lately:

Here she is saying her new word (clap).  It is kind of hard to hear over Emma and she really only gets the first syllable, but it is a start:

Halloween Part 3

The actual day of Halloween, finally.  And we had a number of costume changes for both girls:

Here she is as a friendly witch for school:

 As Baterina for mall trick or treating:

 Sarah as a garden fairy (she refused to wear the hat):

 The girls with their friends trick or treating at the mall:

 Emma as Minnie for actual trick or treating:

 And the little pumpkin girl:

Sarah had the best time trick or treating, running from house to house and taking candy for her bucket:

Only 1 more Halloween activity (our costume party on Saturday). Thank goodness, because mommy is getting so tired of costume changes!

Early Holidays

Brian and I bought a new bike for Sarah for the holidays (mommy couldn't bend over pushing her on the bike anymore).  Sarah seems to love it, don't you think:

Happy Halloween Part 2

So, to extend our Halloween week a little longer, the girls got their second trick or treating opportunity today, and they went for a costume change:

Daddy bought this Yoda costume for Emma when she was 1.  Sarah seemed to like it:

 For comparison, here is Emma in the same costume:


Here are the girls together (Emma opted to go as Izzy from Jake and the Neverland Pirates):

 With all of their friends before trick or treating:

Part 3 will follow on Thursday!
