We love fall!

I love this view...even with my bunchy sweater in the way.  I am going to be so sad one day when I look down and don't see this beaming up at me!  :)

What a super beautiful morning that Juliette and I spent walking along a trail in Zionsville.  The colors are starting to become more vibrant and leaves were starting to fall although some of the trees haven't begun to change yet.  We had a fun time running after each other, tickling and enjoying the fall weather.

Juliette 27 months

 She is so full of expressions like these...she also loves to tackle the giant floor pumpkin cushion in the background.

 Juliette is a little pistol and loves to read, dance, color, write, eat snacks all day long and loves cereal, watches cartoons in the morning, sneaks candy and gum and can open them too, jump on the trampoline, play outside, makes play "food" out of mulch for you...namely "french fries", enjoys a good Target shopping experience...especially when she is out of the cart, likes to talk, and be a screamer and a shrieker, doesn't like to sit still at the dinner table, loves to be in her sister's business and pretend she is one of the big kids too.

 she enjoys going to school on Tuesday and Thursday and gets so excited when her sisters get home...

 she loves to be the center of attention...

 she loves to run and jump...

 she loves to have her nails painted...

and will tell me every morning how to do her hair.  :)

Pet in a Jar

 A class project for Isabelle sent us out on Sunday scoping for some unwilling participants to spend the night in her "bug jar".

Pretty aster

Izzy got her ears pierced!

Last picture without earrings!

She said that it "hurt way more then they said it would", but she held perfectly still and just winced a little bit.  She had the opportunity since her 7th birthday to get her ears pierced and "just wasn't ready yet".  She woke up last week and said, "I am ready to get my ears pierced".  I took her on Friday after school to Claire's with her 2 sisters in tow.  She picked out diamonds (which are her birth stone) because "they go with everything....even my pajamas!".  So cute!  She is very good about cleaning them and is just so excited to have them done.
