Fall is Flying By!


This week flew by!  How is it the end of October already?!  Here are a few highlights from the week:

The girls have been busy with preschool, gymnastics, ballet and tennis.  Plus Lainey got to have two playdates this week while Hailey was in preschool.  The girls have been loving all things Halloween and are super excited about trick-or-treating soon!  Hailey started her first tennis lesson at Kanawha and loved it!  Lainey chipped her front teeth on the water fountain at preschool, but was very brave when we took x-rays and smoothed them down at Gigi's dental office.  My cousin Heidi and her family came to visit and the girls had lots of fun playing with Kaitlyn and Mitchell. 

Our week in pictures:

My three girls, in their Halloween jammies!

Pumpkin cuties. 

The best one I could get of them before Sunday school. 

Lulu was in a photogenic mood! 

Helping Mommy make pancakes. 

Lainey did not like Mommy taking pictures of Baby Avery. 

Giving each other blanket rides. 


Oreo mouths!

Dancing to Baby Einstein Santa (yes, in October!) 

 
The girls love their new rocking chair from one of our neighbors!
 


Probably the worst picture of me ever...but one of my favorite memories.  Naptime with my girls on a rainy Saturday. 

Jumping in "muddy puddles" just like Peppa Pig!

Lulu does not like to get wet!

More muddy puddle jumping. 

When the diapers are so big that the box they came in can fit the person intended to wear them, then it must be time to be potty trained!!

Lulu sneaking in some Baby Avery bonding while Sissy was at preschool. 

The "Teeny Tiny Farm" is coming to preschool soon, so the girls have been busy talking about farm animals and making animal crafts at school.  Hailey made a piggy hat for her and for Lainey!

More baby Avery snuggles before preschool. 

With the first two, I made sure that they napped in their cribs, and that they were on a strict sleep schedule.  Poor third child spends most of her time riding in the Kinard Girls Taxi cab, carting her big sisters all over town everyday!  So she has to sneak in her naps whenever she can!


Fortunately, she doesn't seem to mind!

Tongue out and legs moving!  I think she likes her crib aquarium!

Kicking on the playmat with her big sisters. 

I think Lainey finds the playmat more entertaining at this point!

Enjoying a lollipop after pooping in the potty!!  A very rare moment!

Excited for the chilly weather so they can wear their jackets to the playground!

Heading to the playground with Daddy!

Lulu loved all of the Christmas decorations at Home Depot! 

Waiting to get their flu vaccine.  Both girls did great!

Hailey had her first tennis clinic this week. (Because ballet and gymnastics weren't enough extracurricular activities to get all of her sillies out!)  She loved it!!

Lulu loved playing at the playground and running around Kanawha while Sissy had her lesson. 



Avery took a catnap while soaking up some nice Fall air. 

Playing on the playground after Hailey's first tennis lesson. 

They gave out lolli pops after her lesson! 

Another week, another disaster.  Lainey chipped her front teeth on the water fountain at preschool.  Fortunately, Gigi was able to get us into her office on Saturday morning to take an x-ray and smooth them down a little bit.  She did great!
 
My cousin Heidi and her family came to visit and the girls loved watching their magic show that they held at Kidsburg in Williamsburg. Hailey has been doing magic tricks all week long now! 

She was TOTALLY into Kaitlyn's cute magic show!




Mitchell had some great tricks too!

Lulu's attention span lasted all of 2 minutes, so she spent most of the show on the playground with Daddy, Poogie and Babu!




I can't get enough of her!

After the magic show, we went to Aunt Kays house to visit.  The girls loved her "Halloween Tree!"

Hailey followed Kaitlyn around all afternoon.  They made mudpies, caught worms and performed magic shows.  Hailey was KK's assistant.  It was so stinkin' cute!


Lulu, guarding her chicken nuggets like the crown jewels!

After Aunt Kay's house, we loaded up and headed over to Gigi and Babu's house so Daddy could watch some football.  Lulu made herself right at home in Gigi and Babu's bed with a snack and Peppa Pig on Babu's Kindle.

All three girls were zonked out on the ride home!
 
 
Purple Room Preschool Pics.
She loves blocks and building towers.  She turns everything into a tower.  Doug and I think she's going to be an engineer!

She also loves books.  Way more than Hailey did.  And she loves Ms. Jody! 

Working on her fine motor skills with some pipe cleaners. 


Fun in the sandbox. 

Playing on the fire truck. 

A cute row of mini people!
