Weekend before Halloween fun

Payton went with Aunt Misty, Mark, Hunter and Morgan to kid friendly haunted house. They had bounce houses for the kids, activities to do and little haunted rooms for the kids to walk through.  Payton made a halloween scented candle for mommy too.  Click on picture to zoom in on the fun.

Payton Modeling for Aunt Misty

Since mommy is bad at blogging now that she is a working women again, aunt Misty is posting this post.  Payton was home sick from school last week and so we decided to take some pictures.  She is just too pretty to not take pictures.  Anyways, there are ton more that I took so click HERE to view them on my blog.

Field Trip!

Well, Payton has been doing awesome at her new school. She is finally at the point again where she really enjoys her friends. The minute we walk in the door, the kids come over and say, "Payton's here"! Her teachers say she is doing great academically and also say, "everybody loves Payton". Little sweetheart!

Today they are taking a field trip to the Coral Springs Library. Every month they will be going somewhere new. Next month, she actually has 2 field trips; the Performing Arts Theatre, and the Pumpkin Patch.

I start a new job on Monday with Colonial Bank. Very excited! Payton will have long days at school again :(

I am finally uploading a picture of her first day of school. She was a little bit nervous that day, but now look at her: )

Punta Gorda Trip

Here are some pictures from our trip to Punta Gorda. Aunt Faun, Uncle Jack, and Grandmommy live there (Faun & Jack had to leave for a wedding up north this weekend). We went to the Burnt Store Marina, Shoppes, and the Park. I think Payton's favorite was the park. She collected seashells and played by the ocean. She also went to the injured animal park. It was a fun weekend!

Kitty Heaven

Payton really LOVES cats. She loves to dress them up, carry them around, and snuggle with them. We are lucky that our cat Jagger and Aunt Misty's cats, Milo and Shilo, are very patient and gentle kitties. They tolerate Payton and get carried, pulled, held, and even dropped by Payton. Shilo seems to be her favorite for two reasons; (1) He is the smallest in size compare to Milo and Jagger, and (2) he is the only one that doesn't nip at her when he has had enough. It's pretty funny to watch Payton with Shilo. He will try to run and hide under the bed when he sees her coming. Once she sneaks up on him and catches him, she will close the doors to all rooms, just so he can't run and hide from her. Poor little kitty!!!

Payton had a sleepover at Aunt Misty's house and she just loved snuggling with Shilo.

Although, Shilo's favorite thing to do is snuggle, he didn't seem to mind "tolerating" that much.

Two Princesses -

Payton just loves little Morgan. Although, she can at times get a little jealous if mommy gives Morgan a little too much attention. She felt like such a big girl holding Morgan. Aren't they just too cute?

Rainforest Cafe

Click on image to zoom

One of our favorite places to eat and play is at the Rainforest Cafe at the Sawgrass Mall. One of the first things Payton saw and explored when she first came to visit Aunt Misty and Hunter in Florida. She had so much fun that it has become one of our main activities here. What is also great about it is that it is inside the mall; so when it rains, it makes for a fun indoor activity.

There is also another place we have yet to explore called 'Wanna Do City'. That will be another day and another post, and maybe we'll need to do one soon, once mommy starts her job!!!!

By the way I have another interview today, so lets hope it goes well and that I soon will have a job and be back to work.

Here is a picture of one of Payton's new friends (Aston), a young girl who is 11-years old and loves kids. I have to admit she really is a natural with kids.
