Ally girl with my safety glasses. "Look Mama!"
Date with Ally, Mama, and Dada. We went to see Hotel Transylvania. Pretty cute. Ally was singing and dancing in front of her seat. Luckily she's short and fairy quiet.
Sick little boy. So cute cuddled up on the couch watching Thomas.
And eating cereal.
Co-worker Bryce, myself, and manager Megan dressed as Zombies for the Health Fair at work. I'm one of the coordinators, and this year we were focusing on Halloween Safety and the Zombie Apocalypse (disaster preparedness). It was pretty fun!
So, an activity I saw on Pinterest...and it was a hit! Pipe cleaners and colanders. They spent quite a bit of time over several days putting them together, taking them apart, and playing pretend games with them.
Look at that concentration!
A few days later.... And I have no idea what happened to Miss Ally's pants. Jane said she got up fro her nap and it was ripped up to her thigh.
Auntie JoAnn even got in on the fun!
One of my diet dishes... Honey-lime glazed shrimp. Really yummy. I'd have with steamed veggies, or a little bit of brown rice.
Another diet dinner... Portabella mushroom cap filled with bruschetta, then topped with a little bit of pineapple, fat free cheese, and turkey pepperoni. Broil to desired brown-ness, and enjoy! A little soggy, but very tasteful and low carb.
And, these are not on my diet. But oh so yummy. Graham crackers, covered with milk chocolate chips, marshmallows, and drizzled with melted butter and brown sugar. Brown in the oven. S'more Nachos!
Cuties getting ready for church.
Little Man.
Me and Miss Ally.
Trying on my wedding dress. Ally really liked my dress, but kept saying it would be better if it were a rainbow dress. But I still looked like a princess.
Little princess wearing my veil. This one did make me tear up a little.
Kids being silly and playing together.
Tea party! with a movie.
Halloween! Ally was a Fairy Princess.
Showing off her "fairy makeup" that I let her wear.
Jacob was a little dragon. He didn't care so much.
Though...walking around at Ernest's work after the games, they got to Trick or Treat at the desks. Jacob would look at his two hands, drop the candy that was least desirable, and pickup a new one. And this was repeated at every desk we came to. He would NOT put the candy in his bag. I ended up following behind him, trying to catch the candy as he decided he didn't want it as much as the new one, and I'd put it in his bag.
Starting with potty training! First time going in the big potty!
Being silly
So, there's leggings, a nightgown, tunic (with stickers), silly glasses, AND a fuzzy ball that deflated...all on my girl.
My Halloween costume that I wore to work. I made this costume probably 10 years ago (without a pattern). I was pretty pleased with it. I couldn't find my little phaser, but my communicator does still beep. A slight Trekkie faux pas...The uniform is from Voyager, but my communicator was from TNG. Ah well. Very few noticed.
Actual trick or treating. The Fairy Princess costume was a bit thin for going outside on an October night, so Ally went for this fuzzy owl I got on clearance from Old Navy.
All decked out with glow sticks around their necks, arms, and legs. Time to go out with Dad! I stayed home to hand out candy.
And, that is October is a blur of pictures.
