Halloween was good, but rushed. This was the first year that Blake actually went trick or treating. She was Piglet and I was Eeyore. She wasn't sure about Eeyore at first, I thought I was going to have to take it off. She eventually came around. Josh had to miss the big day. I know that he didn't want to wear the Tigger costume I had for him, so I'm sure he was a little relieved. A big thanks to Grandma and Gramps for the adult costumes. We made it to four houses before coming home. A fun night for sure.
The morning after Halloween Blake and I caught a flight to Florida. We were guests at Hannah and Derrick's wedding. I am so thrilled that we had the chance to be there. This wedding has been a long time coming. The ceremony was beautiful. Blake shoved sand down her dress the whole time. She was sure to throw out an "amen," at the end of the prayer. We went to the beach and hung out with family. I have to say this was the first time I flew to the beach for a weekend, so worth the trouble.

I thought I would wrap this up by explaining a picture I posted on Facebook last week.

Blake has been displaying what I would consider typical 2 year old behavior. I was feeling a little helpless, so I decided to take control of the situation. I created a behavior chart. I got the idea from Pinterest. If you don't know what Pinterest is, call me and I'll explain my addiction.

Blake starts every day with 6 coins, all homemade. When she is bad we take a coin. If she displays good behavior I can return the coin, you get the idea. At the end of the day if she has all of her coins she gets a sticker on her board. When she gets 10 stickers, which takes forever, she gets her predetermined reward. The first reward was a Princess Cupcake Party with Mommy. The day before we went we made tiaras and magic wands. There were 3 people in the cupcake shop that were having birthdays, none of them were wearing tiaras.

Until next time
