little Climber

Sweetpea has been climbing on everything lately! We went to the park Saturday afternoon and she was climbing up the fake wall - just like a rock climber! Today in church she was trying to climb up the pew. We're going to have to keep our eyes on her!

We put up our Christmas tree today. Sweetpea has already started taking all the ornaments off, so now the tree is only decorated on the top half. She really likes pulling the ornaments off - especially the Care Bear one! Here's a video of her playing with the ornaments.

December is already filling up like crazy with parties and shopping, so I will probably not be updating this again until after the holidays. Things are just getting too crazy around here. If things calm down, I'll put something up, but just warning you that you may see very little activity for the next month. Thanks for keeping up with Sweetpea on here, though, and I will be back!! :)

It's beginning to feel like Christmas!

We had a holiday-like weekend! Saturday morning Sweetpea and I went to kindermusik for a free lesson. She had fun, but she did not care for sitting around in the circle. Her and one other boy were running around the whole time! At one point, she was climbing up on this cardboard box. She has become quite a climber lately - we really have to keep a closer watch on her now! Then Saturday afternoon we went to the mall for the lighting of the christmas tree. There were also free cookies and pics with Santa. Sweetpea didn't want to sit on his lap, so she sat on my lap and we got a picture. She doesn't look too happy, though, does she?

Earlier that day she took a little bit of a spill outside. She was running out into the street, so I was running after her to get her. She thought I was playing catch so she went faster and ended up tripping on the concrete. Got quite a big cut on her forehead. Not fun for anyone, but luckily it looks a lot better today!

Here's a video of Sweetpea playing with her new puzzle that Nana W. bought her last weekend - she's practicing her fishing skills so Grandpa E. can take her fishing soon!

Nana W.'s visit

Nana W. came to visit this weekend! Sweetpea had lots of fun and the weather was wonderful! We went out to the apple orchard on Saturday and they had tons of free samples for their Christmas open house, so that was fun taste testing everything! Sweetpea enjoyed trying to pet the goats. This morning we went to breakfast and church. Sweetpea took a long nap this afternoon because she was wiped out from Nana's visit! :)

Later, we went to the park and kept enjoying the great weather. Sweetpea really enjoys sliding now so we went down the slide over and over! Daddy taught her how to slide at home on the couch cushion. Here's a video of her riding her "slide" in the living room.

Trick or Treat

Sweetpea got to go out for her first trick or treat experience! Daddy and I took her around the block. At first she was kind of nervous and kept pulling the candy out of her bag to see what was going on. But, after a few houses she got the hang of it real quick and was running up to houses to get candy! At one house she even pulled out two pieces! By the end, her bag was so full she was dragging it along. I asked her if I could hold it for her and she said "no, no!"

Grandma and Grandpa Evans came to visit this weekend, too! Sweetpea had fun playing with them.

One of Sweetpea's favorite things is playing catch where we run after her! Tonight she started to try and chase us and "tickle" us! It was very cute to watch her try to sneak up on us!

Here is a picture of Sweetpea at her school Halloween party on Friday. She ended up wearing a tutu that they have in their dress up clothes there. This is also a video of her helping daddy carve the pumpkin.
