Computer Time

Ever since spending some time with her cousin Kate she has been obsessed with computer games. Though we don't have very many she seems to do really well. She has taken to the laptop pretty well too, though I think she might have an easier time with a mouse for some of the activities. I guess maybe Santa might be getting her some new games, hey Sarah what is the name of that Mickey Mouse game?? She is asking to play it :)

Sleepy time

This is where Blitz sleeps every night. Alana loves it!

So I tucked Alana into bed the other night. I thought she had fallen asleep since she was so quiet. I sat downstairs and watched some TV while I was waiting for Dave to come home from training. Well when we went up to bed this is what we found........

She had gotten out of her bed, went into our room, and started her movie. That girl is just too sneaky!

Playing in the leaves

It was actually a nice day out today so we decided to have some fun playing in the leaves. The dogs even seemed to enjoy it.

Alana insisted on racking by herself! Go for it girl!

Sleepy boy

I had taken Alana to Cluggys to meet her friend Lizzie while Tyler stayed home to help Daddy put shelves up in the basement. I guess Daddy must have really put him to work since he ended up falling asleep at 6:00pm. That can't be a comfortable position to sleep in!

I'm Yours

Alana loves this song. It is her favorite right now! I found a video of it on demand and she dances and sings to it all the time! Good thing I like it too :)

Trick-Or-Treat!!

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. No bloody noses for Tyler, he fell last year. We had Alana's friend Lizzie and her parents over for dinner and then to go trick or treating. The kids were very excited about going. Tyler has been wearing his costume for a short while everyday since we had gotten it, and even wanted to put it on this morning too. He loved being James, even kept the hat on (which we were shocked that the hat fit him since he has a rather large head, poor kid) Alana was a witch, and she also had been wearing her costume a lot as well. Dave, Mike and Rhonda took the kids around while I stayed back to pass out candy this year. Dave said Tyler lasted about 2 houses then wanted to be carried. We do live at the bottom of a pretty big hill.

Halloween party

Alana had her Halloween party at school yesterday. They all seemed to have fun. Dave took Alana to school and stayed for the party. They also went to the pet store and to Red Robin (yumm) for lunch. It was a good 'Daddy daughter day'

Her whole class dressed up

Lizzie and Alana waiting for their parade around the school to start

Yummy cookies!!

They played Alphabet Bingo.

The whole class sitting down for snack time with their 'magic' pumpkins. They carved a pumpkin on Thursday in class and they all got to take a magic pumpkin seed and 'plant' it in the ground out front. And sure enough they grew over night into little pumpkins! It was amazing!!
