Park City

I have been a bit of a slacker keeping up on the blog lately.  We've actually been doing some fun stuff in between all our busyness.  The first weekend in November we went up to Park City for a fun little get away.  We stayed at a great little condo.

 Mia loved playing in the pool.
 I forgot her puddle jumper and she was definitely disappointed she couldn't swim by herself.
 We even got her to jump in the pool a little bit.
 I'm a wuss so I spent most of my time in the hot tub.  Mia enjoyed it too.
 The next day we went shopping at the outlets.  Mia's favorite part was the playground.
 She made out like quite the little bandit.
 She LOVES her new hoodie.  Most the time she won't take the "hat" off
 That night when we got home, Mia slept in her big girl bed for the first time.
 After just one melt down she settled down and slept great.
 The next day we went to the zoo.  Once again Mia loved the monkeys.
 She remembered the big elephant and waited very patiently for her turn to sit on it.  Which is shocking seeing as she doesn't have much patience.
 She loved the metal cats.
 Somehow we forgot a stroller so when she tired out she caught a ride on dad's shoulders.
 Mia has started taking her diapers off on a regular basis and telling me they are ucky.  Well, I figured maybe she was ready to potty train.  That was 3 long and disastrous days.  I finally gave up after she'd peed in my work shoes, in her crib, on my kindle (luckily it was in a plastic bag), all over the floor, bar stools, and about everywhere else you can imagine.  We did have a few successful potty trips but they were too few and far between for my sanity.  Maybe we'll try again the beginning of the year, but she was cute in her big girl panties.

Halloween

This year we decided to paint pumpkins instead of carving them.  It was a really good call with a 2 year old.
 Mia had a great time
 Monty painted a pirate.
And I painted a clown.
 We were kind of surprised at how little paint Mia ended up with on herself.
 All done
 I bet you can't guess which one Mia painted.
 Mia was a New England Patriots cheerleader this year.
 She thought she was pretty funny putting her bucket on her head.
 She got to go trunk or treating with Tom Brady (aka Monty in costume).
 Mia figured out the whole trick or treating thing pretty quick and had a great time.
 Our little Halloween Diva!
