a lonnnnnnng walk
Want to know how to make a once around the block walk last for 45 minutes? Ask Taylor to bring her scooter along... :) She had a great time with it, and Caley was perfectly content just watching from the wagon, but it was the longest once around the block walk we have ever been on!

birthday party fun
85 degrees end of September makes for a great outdoor birthday party!
We went to Louis' 3rd birthday party (Taylor's friend in the neighborhood) which was a blast.

Taylor somehow lasted (mostly) 6 hours!
Caley (and Patrick) not so much... ;)

a cheer up bribe
So... Ella's birthday party was on Saturday 9/20. Taylor was super excited ALL week to see Ella, so it came as a huge devastation when Taylor woke up at 5am on Saturday morning feeling sick, with a fever! Despite Taylor's best efforts to pretend she was "fine now" we made the call to stay home and avoid getting other people sick. She was really upset (and kept saying she just needed to drink a glass of milk and then she would be ALL better - not sure where she got that info).
Feeling terrible that she would miss the birthday party, we wanted Taylor to still have a fun thing to do over the weekend. We took her out to lunch and 'back to school' shopping, which was a bust! The poor girl was definitely feeling miserable. The only thing to perk her up was the idea of painting pumpkins and going to the bookstore (which we saved for Sunday).
Turned out to be a 24 hour thing as she woke up feeling great on Sunday - and after a quick breakfast she was ready for the pumpkin painting! It was by far the happiest we had seen her in the past 24 hours.
Caley didn't know she was missing out on a fun birthday party, but she was more than happy to get in on the pumpkin painting. Much better results this time (last year we did pumpkin painting for Caley's birthday party and she didn't love it).

Why limit herself to pumpkins when faces need painting too!

too many cooks...
...in a small kitchen!
Although, if Taylor & Caley could learn to make pancakes all by themselves and that meant i could sleep in, i might be ok with it :)

Roger Williams Zoo
On Sunday, Omi & Poppy met up with us at the zoo. It was mostly sunny and perfect temperature for a zoo day! We had been waiting all summer to go, and it did not disappoint!
The definite highlight of the day was watching an Elephant take a dip in the pool!
