This year was Skylar's second Halloween but the first year that she actually got to Trick-or-Treat. She was a Bumblebee this year and a very cute one at that...if I do say so myself! She still wasn't aware of what was going on and we only made it by a couple of houses before she was DONE! She had a lot of fun handing out candy though to the kids that came by my parents house!! It was a wonderful Halloween and can't wait for next year to actually hear her say "trick or treat...!"
Because the weather was sooooo wonderful a few weekends ago, we decided to take Skylar to her very first pumpkin patch held at The Old Time Christmas Tree Farm in Tomball! Although the weather was fabulous and the activities looked like a blast, my little one was not interested AT ALL! It was such a different environment for her and truth be told, I think I had more fun then she did. We did manage to catch a few good shots though...
We knew that we wanted to get her something like this around Christmas but just didn't want to spend a fortune. Well, this one came up and was such a good deal, that we just couldn't pass it up! It comes complete with a swing set, slide, monkey bars (which will be for later of course), a small fort and picnic table!! It's purrrrrrfect and she LOVES it!! Here's some more pics for your viewing pleasure: 
She loves this thing and is starting to really figure out how everything works. For example, the other day I asked her for some scrambled eggs and she grabbed her little pink skillet and started stirring it around and voila! make-believe eggs!!
Now, here's Rody. He is such a cutie patootie, right?! The idea is that she can sit on him and just bounce her little heart out. However she would much rather sit on mommy's tummy and do that while cuddling Rody! I would much prefer the other way around but you take what you can get! 
And now for her latest attraction...behind door number three...a new playhouse!!! Her daddy just recently bought this for her as "practice" because he really has his heart set on buying her a huge playground for the backyard. She really does love this little house. It even has a porch light and I'm thinking of setting out a little doormat for her! Cheesy???? Of course! But I'll do it anyway...ha! 
So there's a million other things in there such as a music table and a dance station and a car but this was only suppose to be a "sneak peak" remember?!!! So I'll leave you with this one last thing which is one of the 5 pictures of her hanging in her playroom...
This was taken with her one year portraits...isn't she a doll?!?!
Just do some research and you will find that not only is cloth diapering better for our environment (MUCH BETTER) but it's also easier on your budget as well. And let's face it, who couldn't use some extra money during these tough times???
