Happy Halloween!

We only have 6 houses in our neighborhood so we decided to walk over to the neighborhood next to ours and see our friends, the Young's, who recently moved there. Aaron and Tina were sitting outside with Baby Scarlett so we took a tour of their gorgeous house and KJ and Scarlett looked through Kate's candy stash...I can't wait to dig through it myself...I freaking love this time of year!

Well, we visited about 15 houses when KJ realized that she had use the potty, so at house #15 Kate very politely said, "Hello, trick or treat? I have to pee pee!" The lady of the house(I clearly have no idea who she is) said that is the first time she's heard that one in 25 years of answering the door on Halloween night! (Thank you for your hospitality and allowing us to use your lovely bathroom) It's something I will remember for the rest of my life! As many of you know, Kate is really into anything "princess." Earlier in the week she went to a Halloween party as Snow White, but Kate likes to change things up a bit so she went as Cinderella this evening:)

Celebration of Life

As most of you know, Kate goes to montessori school 3 days a week. It definitely gives her a different perspective than what she gets at home. I always say that her school is very organic and earthy... which I think is so awesome, but I'm still not into the whole recycle everything, eat only organic, plant your own garden kinda life. I had such a great time visiting Kate's class last Thursday for her "Celebration of Life." Basically, I just shared a picture from each year of her life starting with a picture of the day she was born and gave a little tidbit from each year as Kate held the earth in her hands and walked around the sun while her classmates sang. It was so freaking adorable I almost cried! Of course I had to bring in a snack. Kate would have been kicked out of school if I would have brought in cupcakes or cookies so organic yogurt it was! Oh, and have I mentioned that Kate will only wear dresses with pockets now?

"Mom, this is lame!"


Ms. Angela rocks!

Visit from Geegoo

Kate calls my mom, "Geegoo." I think my mom is called something different from each one of her grandchildren(Grammy, Mamaw, Grandma Taylor) so I'm not sure how she keeps it straight. Anyway, we had a nice time while Geegoo was here...it was pretty low key and Kate enjoyed every minute of it! Seph was away at a meeting for most of the week so I was glad to have an extra set of hands. Thanks mom!

KJ turns 3!

Our little angel is growing up way too fast! Here are some pics from her big day!

Run in the Dark Fun Run 2010

This is our second year in a row that we participated in the "Run in the Dark" for one of the local charities. Kate ran the entire thing again this year (well, almost, we took a bit of a shortcut so Kate could catch up with her BFF, Lily) I'm so proud of our little blondie!

Ice cream Wednesdays

Ballerinas and Big Girl Beds

This has been a very busy couple of weeks in the Jensen household. Kate is finally potty trained and it was time to switch her to a big girl bed. I've always said those were the two things I was dreading most! Well, I'm happy to say that she was fairly easy to potty train and she slept like a dream last night...after putting her back in bed 15 times in 15 minutes! It was really sweet because she had a unique reason for walking out of her room each time. My personal favorite was, "mommy, what store did you get the race car at?" Anyway, we will see how the rest of the week goes and I will post more pictures of her room when the decorating is complete.

Kate started ballet and tap class this past Saturday. I was a little nervous that she wouldn't enjoy it, but she was grinning from ear to ear the entire time.
