November 2010 - Part 1

We are quickly getting ready for Thanksgiving which is less than a week away! The MDO program at her church had a Thanksgiving Feast last week. Georgia had fun seeing her friends and they made lots of neat crafts for the holiday. She wore her turkey overalls (so darn cute) that her Gemma sent her.

My friend Stacy had extra passes to the Disney Princesses on Ice last week. So we went with her and her sweet girls to the event. They had so much fun and it was actually really neat! Georgia had a blast and especially enjoyed dancing to the music, along with eating popcorn and drinking coke!

Halloween 2010

Georgia was a kitty cat for Halloween this year. We looked at pictures in catalog and this is what she picked out - I had narrowed it to a couple of things for her =). I tried to paint whiskers and a nose but that didn't go over very well and caused some tears so we decided to do away with that plan. Jacob and I got her ready and off we went to trick-or-treat!

Our first stop was at Mama Jo's.

(Notice the tail - it was so funny - but she didn't care for it one bit!)

She didn't know what to think about the whole trick-or-treating experience but she sure did like the candy!

Thomas the Train - October 2010

October was a whirlwind. We had been busy with county fairs and state fair and it seemed like every time I turned around Georgia was sick or I was sick! Between a lovely cold, then sinus infections for both of us, then a viral skin rash - I had just about had it! This also made for problems being able to go anywhere which meant the weekend we had originally planned to go see Thomas the Train had to be rescheduled because Georgia's rash was contagious and we didn't think it would be a good idea for her to be around her cousins, Josef & Johan. So Jacob let me slip away the Saturday of our bull and heifer sale to go with the Grotegut family to Rusk to take a ride on Thomas the Train. We left in plenty of time to make it that morning on our train ride. However, when we were about an hour away, we drove up on a very bad accident about 15 cars ahead of us. We sat at a dead stop for over an hour (life flight came and everything). So we tried to keep our spririts up with the three toddlers in the car and contacted the train office. They were very nice and helped us move our train time to a later ride. FINALLY we got there. The kids were so ready to get out of the car and check it all out. We rode the train, had lemonade and corn dogs, played in the jumping gym, played at the bubble table, went to the petting zoo, played at the train tables, spent too much money at the gift shop....Several hours later, between tired kids, scrapes and bruises, and three worn out parents, we were ready to hit the road. They had a blast and both Georgia and Josef were not happy that we had to leave. When we got back we went to mass and then met up with the rest of the family for a yummy dinner at Outback. It was full day, but we really enjoyed hanging out with the Groteguts!!! Georgia is always talking about the "boys" now! LOL!

Georgia's First Haircut

Early October 2010...Contrary to how it appeared, Georgia's hair was getting really long! It was down to her shoulder blades and the curls were becoming a bit hard to manage. So we enlisted Tiffany's mother, Dawn, to help out us with giving Georgia's hair its first trim! So we loaded up and went to Sassy Up in Thorndale for an evening at the salon and followed up with dinner at Downtown Cafe.

Of course, it would only be appropriate that Georgia wear the outfit that Miss Dawn gave her for her birthday!

Georgia got pretty serious once she got in the chair.

We convinced her to wear the fun cape (after I got conned into wearing a zebra cape) and she sat up perfectly. Dawn sprayed it down, combed it out and off she went to trimming!

She trimmed it up and restyled it as good as new! Here she is with Dawn after the haircut. Georgia did so good and Dawn was so sweet with her!!! Great experience and we were pleased!
