Pretty noneventful, but got some cute pics. My mom made her her own little cornish game hen, which she ate with gusto!

Is she three yet?
Because the Terrible Twos suck. I hate to whine, especially since I am extremely blessed with such a beautiful, smart little girl, but I'm going to for a minute! Most of the time, she is very well behaved, but when she's not, she's like the devil incarnate. The fact that she's so good all the time probably makes it harder for me to deal with her when she's not. Or maybe she's just too spoiled. I don't know, but my patience is wearing thin.
Every night is a battle to get her to go to sleep. We go in there at 8:30 and sing songs for awhile, and tell stories. We do this thing where we talk about what she wants to dream about. And then when I tell her it's time to go to sleep, the heavy manipulation begins. Mommy, I want my milk. Mommy, hold my kitty, wait, I don't want my kitty, I want my dolly. No, mommy not Mary, I want the Susie baby. Mommy, my tummy hurts, you might have to take me to the doctor. Mommy, my diaper is bothering me. The minute I get stern then she wants her father. Any trick in the book to not go to sleep. Last night, I was in there for an hour and I finally gave up and let her wail for a minute when I left. I try to stay calm, but sometimes I just have to walk away and collect myself.
Alright, enough complaining, because she really is an amazing little girl. Her vocabulary is off the charts and sometimes she comes up with stuff that just cracks me up. The other night, she couldn't find a toy or something and she said "oh, snap!" like Raven on That's so Raven on the Disney channel. She won't be watching that show anymore! But it was funny. She counts to twenty, knows all of her letters and numbers on site, and boy is she a charmer. Her and my mom got into a little fender bender last weekend, and she had all the firefighters in a circle around her while she flirted away. I was so upset until I talked to one of the firefighters and he told me that she was fine and just offered him some of her juice.
And the kid is just gorgeous. I get stopped a lot by strangers who comment on how beautiful her eyes are or how personable she is. People hand me cards for modeling agencies that I just throw in the nearest trash bin when they aren't looking. Thank you, but not interested!
So, I am a lucky mommy, who just needs to vent once in awhile. If you are still there, thanks for reading.
Below is a recent pic of my little girl standing in the rain with an umbrella that is way too big for her. Too cute.

Happy Halloween
Don't have time to write much, just wanted to post some pics of my little pirate.
I was hoping she would want to be a princess or a fairy or a bumblebee, but NOOOOOO. She wanted to be a pirate.
She loved trick or treating. She said "trick or treat please". And "Arggghh" like a pirate. She always remembered to say thank you when she walked away and then said "ok, let's go to the next one house to get more candy. She was hilarious and the absolute hit of the neighborhood. People were giving her candy from their "special" stash. I let her have some M&Ms and after bouncing off the walls until 9pm, she fell fast asleep. It was wonderful. Can't wait for Christmas.
