My little cupcakes

Clay and Alli snacking on a mini cupcake. Yummmm!

Thanksgiving Feast

Today at preschool, Shaylee and Alli had their Thanksgiving feasts. Alli’s teacher said she was a good eater. She tried everything and ate it all gone. They also said that she was usually the last one finished during snack time. :) Thats my girl!

Oso De Oro park

Clay playing in the sand at Oso De Oro park.


Alli can do the monkey bars all by herself, all the way from beginning to end! Way to go Alli!


Alli just loves feeding the ducks!


Alli and Shaylee!

The duck pond at the park...what beautiful fall colors! (ok, maybe not in this picture).


Pretty fall colors!


The dock where you can see and feed the ducks on the pond.


The girls love to sit on the bear right before we leave.


Shaylee, Allison and Grace (oh and Clay...he is in the stroller almost asleep) had a wonderful day at the park.

Silly Bath Time

One thing the kids like doing in the bath tub is making faces against the glass to me. So funny!!!

Under the Door

Allison and Clay like to play under the door to each other.


Allison likes to slide her belt under and then wait for Clay to grab it. Finally he will let go and she will take it back for a minute and then slide it under again. They will do this over and over.

Ice Cream Cone Lickers

Clay and Allison LOVE ice cream! Tonight Clay finally figured out how to lick a cone. It was really funny to watch.

Standing on the train

Clay likes standing on anything and everything.

Talking to Nana

Allison was talking to Nana on the bluetooth headset. She thought that was neat!

Dress-Up with Clay and Grace

Clay and Grace were playing dress up. It was a little sad because all we have are girl dress up clothes. Clay seemed to think his skirt was rather funny.


I think Grace was wearing everything from Alli’s dress up box.

Mommy's Roast

Allison loved Mommy’s roast and cream peas. A favorite dish of mine from childhood. She didn’t care for the potatoes and carrots though! We usually end up having several veggies to eat because both of my kids would rather veggies than meet (except this night).

Sunglasses

Clay sporting Grace’s sunglasses.

Ranch Sauce

Clayton eating celery and ranch dressing.

Hermit Crab #1 drinking water

Our first crab drinking from his water bowl. However, we are sad to say that several days after we got this crab, it died. We are now happy owners of a new crab!

The Pumpkin Patch

Our trip to the Pumpkin Patch with her preschool class.


The Hayride


Allison’s preschool class plus a few other friends.


A fun day!


Feeding the sheep


Clay is feeding the sheep. He loved feeding the animals.


This is how Clay picked out his pumpkin.


Alli carried her pumpkin.


We had a great day in group no. 1 at the pumpkin patch.

Clay and the remote

Clayton asks to be put in the chair and handed the remote. What a boy!

Allison's first Hermit Crab

Allison got her first Hermit Crab. She has been saving up her money to buy one for a long time. She wanted one with a painted shell, but all of those shells were empty so we got this one. He is pretty active. She wants two, but she has to save up some more money for her next one. Maybe she can get a painted shell one then.

Clayton's fat lip

Clay ran into the wall and got a fat lip.


He is always falling and getting hurt...poor little guy. I hope he gets some better coordination soon!

What Alli taught Clay

This is what my wonderful daughter taught Clay to do...eat dried blueberries off the floor. I had to put an end to this quickly after I took a couple pics.

Allison and her baby

Allison and her baby. She made a wrap for her baby so that she could carry her better.


This is quite the outfit! :)
