Linvilla Orchards Cousins Outing








Yesterday the girl cousins had a little outing at Linvilla Orchards complete with a hayride and face painting and pies. Though it was a short visit, it was a fun visit and a good time was had by all.

Sophie is completely obsessed with costumes and face painting. Ever since her butterfly transformation at Moreys Piers a few weekends ago, she is a face painting fool. So of course she was delighted at Linvilla to be the first child in line for face painting and this time was transformed into a beautiful pink and purple tiger. And now in addition to wanting to put on her princess dress immediately she now wants to wear her (warning: spoiler alert!) Super Girl costume every moment of the waking day as well. We have told her that she is not allowed to wear the Super Girl costume non-stop because frankly it's not washable and well, Halloween is still another 12 days away.

Emily was doing pretty well but seems to be going through another spit-up/reflux phase and we're thinking maybe she needs to have her reflux medicine increased. Unfortunately, this makes her cranky since she is clearly hurting again but other than that she is doing well.

Both girls went in for their check-ups last week and are doing well. Both girls also got shots which was a bummer and Sophie had to miss a day of school the next day because she wasn't feeling too hot (low grade fever, low energy, a little puffy) but by the second post-shots day seemed much improved.

Emmy is getting so big. Her long legs barely fit in the 6 month clothes I've found for her!! She has also started to make this pretty wild dinosaur sound so we call her our little Teradactyl.

Life is good and we're gearing up for Halloween 'round these parts. Sophie says on an almost daily basis,"Halloween is almost here" so yes, we're all pretty excited.
