It's Halloween at the Kurtz House

This is Lily's punkin. She checks on it multiple times a day and tells us that it is HER punkin.

Thank you for the cute sweater Aunt Sandy. I love Halloween ... This year is going to be sooo much fun. Lily wanted to dress up as Brad for Halloween. When we asked her who she wanted to be, she would say, "Dadu". Now she is going to be "Boots" ... as in Dora and Boots. 

Thanks for my "Back Pack" lunch tote Suki. I take it everywhere we go.

A Lesson in Washing Cars

Here is Lily participating in the cleaning of cars. She calls herself "Selfy" ... and "Selfy" has to help with everything. (Whether we want her to or not)

A Trip to the Mall

Riding around with the "Baby Jaguar" look alike ... everything is related to Dora. :)
Lily has been to Chucky Cheese twice, so now whenever we are at the grocery store (or in this case, the mall) she always wants to ride the little rides. 

Toys, Toys, Toys

One of my newer favorite places to go is the Toy Store This particular trip was to Toys R Us. We were hunting for Birthday presents (for my friends) when we stumbled across this super cool train. I like to stop and play with each toy that I see. I was VERY good though and never got mad when I found out that the gifts were not for me. I didn't even get mad when it was time to leave. 

Bow-Bow, Baby & Bella

Our little trip to Asheville, NC.


Just a few of Lily's favorite things ... 

~ Bella the Lamb

~ Gamma and Pa's dog Bogie (aka Bow-Bow)

~ Lily (She named her baby doll Lily)

... but don't get me wrong, there are MANY more faves.

A Lesson in the Kitchen

Lily could stand at the sink for an hour, letting the water run. She has a great time doing it.

She is a super little helper. She participates in clean up and all household chores ... hopefully these skills that she has acquired will carry over, into the teenage years. We have proof Lily :)
