October 26, 2013 ~ A little Ethiopian girl dancing to Jamaican music performed by a group called "The Ethiopians"!!!!

"Mommy, do you want to hear some beautiful, sweet music while I play the piano?" ~ Maya K. Where did she ever hear the expression "sweet music"????? :-)

Here is another one of her dancing this evening. It's got some FUNNY moments!!!

October 27, 2013 ~ Making caramel apples and watching some Sunday football = a great time with friends!!

She is sooooooo excited to get to eat her caramel apple!!!! (But I'm making her wait until tomorrow.)

She has never really seen football before (we are not a "sports" family), so I thought it was hilarious when I went into the living room and saw this!!!!

October 28, 2013 ~ Maya K wanted to talk to her Daddy on the phone during his lunch break today. Here is the end of her side of the conversation. "Goodbye. I love you.....May I talk a little bit more, please??.....What are you eating today?.....I like chili......What are you doing at work?.....Okay.....May I ask just one more question?......Okay......I'll give you back to Mommy.......I love you!!!!!" I think someone is going to be a "phone person" just like her Daddy (NOT like her mommy!!!!!).

October 29, 2013 ~ My parents are visiting this week so my sister and I decided that it was a good time to go visit a free pumpkin patch that we had found out about in our area. It was a lot of fun and we were the only ones there!!!

Maya K loved the baby lamb, but was hesitant about getting very close at first. 

Ben and Maya K with their Grandpa!!!

This girl is a runner!!!

She loves her pumpkins!!!

She's all MINE!!!

I'm looking at this picture and am AMAZED at how BIG Maya K has gotten!! She cannot be this big already!!!

The Box. I went inside with my dad and the kids the first time and this thing was HARD!! Pitch black inside and kids hanging on to all parts of my body!!! They went back inside a second time with Grandpa and finished it!!! The last time the kids all went inside themselves and had a ton of fun!!!

Apparently, Maya K loves pigs!! Who knew?!?!

Haha!!!

October 30, 2013 ~ I love it!!! The girls are eating their mixed veggies SUPER fast so that they can have MUSHROOMS!!!! There is so much healthy eating going on right now!!!!

Maya K go to go "Trick or Treating" tonight. We didn't do it last year (she had only been home for a month) so she has been looking forward to it for a while!!! It was VERY funny at the first few houses because she would tell them a joke and then they would tell her to choose a piece of candy from the dish and she would ask "What's this?" about EVERYTHING!!! They all looked at me like "Why doesn't this girl know what a peanut butter cup is????!!!!" We came home, she excitedly looked at the candy she had gotten, chose a sucker for herself, gave candy to her grandparents and daddy and I, and then snuggled in next to her Grandpa for a Bible story :-).

November 1, 2013 ~ "She knows she is a princess, but she is just being a ballerina....one of those ballerinas who throw the pom-poms (a cheerleader)." ~ Maya K (showing me one of her My Little Ponies who she has put hair ties in the tail and mane). What do you think??? Is she a girly-girl???!!!!
