Wow, it has been way too long since I have updated Anna's blog. A lot has happened since. We moved to a new townhouse in Cranberry Township, Pa. We love it here. We still can't wait to get out of Pittsburgh b/c we do not enjoy the lack of sun. Moving to Cranberry Township will make the next 2 years a lot more tolerable. The townhouse is only 2 years old and very spacious. The 3 bathrooms take awhile to clean but I get it done. We have a lot of shops we can walk to. There are a lot of neighborhoods in the area we can walk to. There is 2 parks in walking distance. It is great. It is also a lot more rural than our old residence. It feels like we actually have breathing room now.
Anna is getting into everything. She will not leave the kitchen alone. She is constantly rummaging through the fridge or pantry and carrying food around. It is very hard for mommy and daddy. Daddy is very mean by telling her there are monsters in the kitchen and it scares her out. I try to convince her otherwise but she is still scared.
Halloween this year was a blast for Anna. She was so excited about it. She talked about it the whole month. I took her to a playgroup where she got to go trick or treating at an assisted living home. It was great seeing the elderly residence face light up when they saw the little kids. Anna got a lot of candy and met a little friend named Ava. They danced together and held hands. I have never seen her so fond of any kid she met like she was with her. She got a lot of candy that day and she was very possessive over it. On Halloween night we went to a neighborhood Mommy and Me party at our local park. Anna kept wanting to stalk a little boy in a Nemo costume. She was dressed up as a fairy. We then went Trick or Treating to some of the houses in the neighborhood and Anna had a blast doing so. She got lots of candy. She even got some full sized candy bars. She was very happy with her candy. We give it to her as a way to bribe her to use her potty. She is getting very good at using her potty. She is almost fully potty trained. She still has a little way to go though. She will not use the bathroom in public so we will have to work on that.
In a couple days Anna's gan-ma and pop-pop will be visiting us for Thanksgiving and Anna is very excited about this. I will be cooking this year, which I love to do. I will be making turkey,mashed potatoes, cranberry-orange sauce, rolls, mac and cheese, and stuffing. Apple pie will be for desert. Gan-ma and pop-pop will be coming Wednesday so I figured we will put the Christmas decorations up then. Anna is already excited about Christmas, she keeps saying "Santa bring me toys!!". This will be the first year we will be participating in Black Friday Christmas shopping. Toys R Us has some really good deals. I will try to write a seperate blog entry on our August visit to Virginia, and our September to Wisconsin.
