Swim Lessons!

We put Peyton in swim lessons and it's amazing how much she has learned! I was so excited when I found a groupon for $29 and normally it would have been $93! She's had four lessons and we just signed her up for two more months! The first day she HATED IT! I mean cried the ENTIRE 30 MINUTES! Clung to me for dear life, and wanted nothing to do with it. The second time was surprisingly much better and she only cried for about 5 minutes total. The third lesson, she was crying because we couldn't get into the water fast enough! They do the same thing each lesson for the most part and she is doing GREAT! They always bring out a big foam thing and she climbs up and sits on it like she owns the joint! She loves it!

Meet the Flintstones!

We went as the Flintstones for Halloween! My friend Brittany gave me the idea and we were able to do it pretty cheap too. I don't remember the last time I dressed for Halloween, but with Peyton getting older I want her to remember it. I was going to make our costumes...I figured it couldn't be that hard, but we found a Fred Flintstone costume at Target for $20. And actually got 10% off because there was a small hole towards the bottom. You never would have noticed, but I figured I might as well ask. Then I made my Wilma dress out of a king size pillow case and my necklace out of foam balls from the dollar store. For Peyton's costume I bought a green shirt at Wal-Mart on clearance and glued black felt triangles to it. I think we spent maybe $32 total...We went to my sister's Saturday night and had just a few friends over. Peyton slept for a bit at first then was ready to party when she woke up!

On Halloween I helped at a face painting booth at a Trunk or Treat at the park. Kenny and Peyton went down there and Peyton had a great time! My sister, Thomas, his mom, Tommi, and my parents met them there too. She got a lot of candy and had so much fun! Our costumes were too cold to wear outside so we ended up dressing like cowgirls. I borrowed most of my stuff from Kelli and I had everything at home for Peyton's.
