Gymboree Halloween Party

Colin, I mean, Kermit the Frog, will not wear his hat! And it's SO cute.

Look out, you slide FAST when you're wearing a full costume!

I giggle every time I see him in this costume. It's not easy being green but Colin pulls it off.

All the cuties in their costumes...

Introducing...

..."Keepin' Up With The Kahl's!"

My sister will be blogging about my beautiful niece very soon. Stay tuned!

LIVESTRONG Challenge

Colin participated in his first 5K run/walk today! The Austin LIVESTRONG Challenge is a two-day fundraising event to raise money for the fight against cancer. Over the past thirteen years, the Livestrong Challenge has raised over $60 million dollars - WOW. One of my favorite parts about this race is seeing all the cancer survivors receive their yellow rose as they cross the finish line. This is called the "Yellow Mile," inspired by Lance Armstrong's signature color.

This year my friends and I walked to recognize Amy's dad, Danny King, who has survived 7 battles with cancer! We even made "Team Superman" tee shirts for the entire group - Colin included. The nine of us walked through the morning rain, up and down the Austin hills while pushing 3 strollers...all for a great cause. Go Superman!!!

Pumpkin Patch

We took some fall pictures with Colin's friends, Trey, Finley and Zane. It's becoming more and more difficult to photograph these little guys now that they are on the move! Time to upgrade my camera. :)

My Theme Song

Anyone who knows me well knows that my favorite meal is Chick-Fil-A. I have had a love affair with their delicious nuggets and golden waffle ever since it was a "mall only" kind of place. And I vividly remember the day that I saw the first ever "free-standing Chick-Fil-A." It was a dream come true! :)

It is truly a Southern delicacy. Ahhh, their sauce and that beautiful pickle on every sandwich. Pure genius. This song says it all...

Ode to a Toddler

If it's on, I must turn it off.
If it's off, I must turn it on.
If it's folded, I must unfold it.
If it's high, it must be reached.
If it's shelved, it must be unshelved.
If it's pointed, it must be run with at top speed.
If it has leaves, they must be picked.
If it's plugged, it must be unplugged.
If it's not trash, it must be thrown away.
If it's in the trash, it must be removed, inspected and thrown on the floor.
If it's closed, it must be opened.
If it doesn't open, it must be screamed at.
If it has drawers, they must be rifled.
If it's a pencil, it must write on the refrigerator, computer monitor or table.
If it's full, it will be more interesting emptied.
If it's empty, it will be more interesting full.
If it's a pile of dirt, it must be laid upon.
If it's a stroller, it must under no circumstances be ridden in without protest.
It must be pushed by me instead.
If it has a flat surface, it must be banged upon.
If mommy's hands are full, I must be carried.
If mommy is in a hurry and wants to carry me, I must walk alone.
If it's paper, it must be torn.
If it has buttons, they must be pressed.
If the volume is low, it must go high.
If it's toilet paper, it must be unrolled on the floor.
If it's a drawer, it must be pulled upon.
If it's YOUR toothbrush, it must be inserted into my mouth.
If it's MY toothbrush, it must be inserted into YOUR mouth.
If it has a faucet, it must be turned on at full force.
If it's a phone, I must talk into it.
If it's a bug, it must be swallowed.
If it doesn't stay on my spoon, it must be dropped on the floor.
If it's not food, it must be tasted.
If it's food, it must NOT be tasted.
If it's dry, it must be made wet with drool, milk, or toilet water.
If it has a tail, I must yank it.
If Mommy wants me to come, I must run away.
If Mommy wants me to go away, I must CLING ON FOR DEAR LIFE!
If it's stacked up, it must be knocked down.
If it's sticky, it must go in my hair.
If it's bath time, I must run around naked till I am caught!
If it is a rock, it must be picked up.
If it is a doll, it must not wear clothes.
If it is Mommy or Daddy, it must be hugged.
I AM A TODDLER!
