Peas Peas the magical vegetable!

So my daughter is weird, she LOVES peas. I think of all the vegetables that one is her favorite and she enjoys eating them which is weird since tons of people warned me my kid wouldn't want to willingly eat them.....Well she is defying the odds, but why peas? She enjoys most other vegetables but her eyes light up at the sight of peas. Here she is having them for a snack(yes snack) not even a forced meal time but rather she is eating them for fun!!!!

And yes, she is eating them off of a pink plate on the couch, they are peas after all so I figure why not let her eat them her way!!! I am hoping her obsession with green vegetables is permanent and not just a tease!

The coolest bathroom ever-next to "The Nerk"

So the Rog family was out running some errands today and stopped by Kohl's. It wouldn't be normal if we didn't stop to check out the bathroom and am I glad we did! Kohl's has the coolest "Family" bathroom ever. It was seriously not allowed for me to ever enter a family bathroom before Emily but now I have the awesome privelige of using them which helps a lot when its just me & her out shopping. I wish I had pictures but I don't so use your imagination.

First, I could actually wheel the big stroller in there and had room to turn it around easily, there is of course the sink, the adult sized toilet, a changing table, a little seat built into the wall with a seat belt to put your kid in....and the best part! A kid sized real toilet complete with their own low to the ground toilet paper dispenser. So look out Kohl's when Emily starts potty training you will be our store of choice!!!

Mr. Fishy

Emily had decided that she was ready for another pet besides Hershey and just happen to come across Mr. Fishy at a birthday party she went too. At her friend Robert's 2nd birthday party these cute little fish in bowls were the party favors!

Emily really likes Mr. Fishy and likes to try to pet him.....

So Mr. Fishy usually lives far up on the counter and comes down for visiting hours with Emily!!!

Growing up

So I have noticed over the last few weeks that Emily is OBSESSED with eating at her little table instead of in her booster chair. This is super exciting except for the fact that the dog gets fed even more than when she was in her booster chair. But, this is super good news for Grandma & Grandpa Gato who just invested in a table for their grandchildren so my sister & I don't have to fight(or worry about bringing) a chair for the little ones to eat in.

I think they did a pretty good job of having snacktime & dinner at their awesome new table!

Halloween!!! (long overdue)

So this year Emily started to understand Halloween. She actually went around the neighborhood and trick or treated!!! She didn't catch on to saying trick or treat so next year she will be a pro!!! Emily's costume was Pebbles this year(her Aunt Annette's idea) and I think my homemade costume turned out just fine. The best part about it was that since it was made out of her regular clothes she WORE IT!!!(instead of pulling at it and trying to get a real costume off of her like last year's pumpkin).

My little Pebbles:

Her partner in crime is of course Bam Bam.....but he transformed into a Pirate at the last minute!

And then towards the end of the night Emily found Allie's hat to her Butterfly costume and couldn't resist trying it on

We had tons of Spooky treats from our Halloween cookbooks, spider webs, abracadra hats, taffy apple cookies, and tons of other sugary treats that Emily throughly enjoyed and then crashed later that night.
