Isabella went as a Care Bear for Halloween. I have never been a fan of Halloween, and it would appear that she's not really either. I'm not quite sure how I got a picture of her smiling in her costume, she must have smiled for one nanosecond, and I actually caught it on camera! I do enjoy the pumpkin carving every year, though, but this year I was sick in bed with an awful migraine the night before Halloween. Daddy did a good job on Isabella's pumpkin, and I hear they had a lot of fun!
Over the past few months Isabella has taken quite the interest in watching TV. We usually limit it to one show in the morning, and one show after her nap. Her new loves are Dora and Diego, she got some Dora books for her birthday, and I cannot read them to her enough. She has them all memorized, and "reads" them to her babies all the time. One set of grandparents is getting her the Leapfrog Tag system for Christmas. There are Dora and Diego books that go with it, I know she will LOVE it!
Speaking of Christmas, I'm SO excited for it! I can hardly wait to start listening to Christmas music, Christmas baking, decorating, etc.
In the picture below, Isabella is being Diego. She has both her "rescue pack" and "spotting scope"!
My sister and her kids came to visit, and we went to "Pla.yhouse Di.sney L.ive". It was so much fun, the girls loved it! Isabella sat on my lap, and never moved, she was absolutely amazed.
During intermission.
Isabella has been all compliments for almost the last year, it's so cute. I can't even count how many times a day she tells Monte and I she loves us. Every night right after her bath she gives me a hug and says, "I'm so happy I've got you, and I'm so happy I've got Daddy, too." Talk about melt my heart . . . Some things she's said lately that I need to write down before I forget, "Daddy, I think you misunderstood me.", the other day I asked her what she was looking at, and she responded, "Oh Mommy, just pretend I'm not here." And the last few days when she's been playing with her little animal toys, she's been all talk of "hibernation". I would love to say that she learned her recent counting in Spanish and other Spanish words from me, since that's what I actually have a degree in, but it was all Dora, folks. :)
Monte has a friend from high school that is an ul.timate fighter, and is on the realty TV show, also called The Ultima.te Fighter. We are watching it right now, it's crazy to be watching someone on TV that we know, but I am most definitely NOT a fan of ultimate fighting.
I got one of my winter projects done. I went through all of my Taste of Home magazines, and other unorganized recipes, and put them all in a binder with different categories. I've had fun trying out several new recipes lately, now that I can actually find them!
And that's about all I've got for now!
And sorry if this has been hard to read (if anyone is still even reading!) blogger is being difficult and won't let me separate my last few paragraphs.

I think I died of cuteness looking at that Diego pic - love little girls in footie jammies!!! I had forgotten you were a Spanish major (at first I didn't remember at all, but I do think you mentioned it once before) - we need to get together someday and talk about all the vocab and grammar of that beautiful language that we've forgotten already. :>) Off to bed with me - I think I'm getting loopy...
I hear ya about the spanish - I minored in it and my kid can say lots of spanish words, but it's all from dora!! :)
I think she's moved on to Little Einsteins and Max and Ruby now... let's hope. The Dora phase sure lasted a LONG time!
That's a great idea about your taste of home cookbooks. I need to do that too!
I think it's so funny when they say things that sound like they're coming from little adults in their cute little girl voices :)
