No Way November

No way...it's November! Just a little heads up, I recently got a new camera, one of those fancy, shmancy ones that looks like I should know what I am doing...but I don't. So I'm still practicing and figuring out how to use it and all the software and such so I noticed the pictures I usually snap quickly with my phone are a little less lately. So I was getting ready to post some Halloween pictures when I remembered they are all on the camera so I'm just going to skip that for now. It could also be that ALL OF US were sick last week. We all ended up going to the doctor at different times and are all on antibiotics. It was like the week that wouldn't end!

Jolie did go trick or treating (as it was before we were all sick) and she really liked it! She is a big fan of Smarties and M&Ms! She didn't say much at the doors, but we could sometimes get a 'bye-bye' out of her as we walked away. Petey came along too dressed as a pumpkin and then we went with the Wulf pack. They kind of knew the ropes and the good places to go so it was a lot of fun! We had a cow (Jolie), pumpkin (Petey), Darth Vader (Sam), a witch (Hayden) and a cat (Hannah). Of course, Jolie has been demanding to wear tutus everywhere (and, yes, I mean DEMANDING!) so she had a little tutu on with her cow costume. And in this picture she's playing with Hayden's broom stick--always something! :)

Notice the runny nose...the beginning of her getting sick?

Happily, we are all doing much better now!
Jolie had fun cheering on the Huskers two weekends ago as we beat Michigan State. Here she is giggling because Kansas State and Iowa lost! hehe (Unfortunately this came back to bite us later as we lost to NORTHWESTERN last weekend--what the heck!?!?!)

Nana and Grandpa recently got a hot tub and Jolie tried it out. Because what toddler doesn't have some stress they need to melt away? :) She was a little scared at first...

But it didn't take long till she was loving it and getting pretty brave! She has been having lots of fun over there and thinks she runs the place!

We did find out that she's up to 24.5 lbs--almost 25! She's 20 months now and is getting crazier and crazier! She's doing great at school and comes home almost daily with art projects which are pretty funny. Josh said when he drops her off in morning, her classmates all say 'Hi Jolie!' and some even try to give her hugs, but since she's not a big hugger (she recently pushed me away and shook my hand when I tried to give her a hug--no joke!) but she's getting used to it. ;) I've noticed that she talks a lot more the more often she's there. She's definitely a Daddy's girl through and through!
