Hermit Crab #1

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!

Ranch Sauce

Clayton eating celery and ranch dressing.

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.

Dress Up with Grace and Clay

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.

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!

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.

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.

Fall Cleaning

Tom put Alli up on our wall to clean.  She loved it, but it made me nervous.

We put up new blinds and curtains in Allison's room. 

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.

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!

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.

Clay and the Remote

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

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! :)

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.

Toilet Paper Eye Roll

Allison decided that the toilet paper roll needed 75 eyes! Yikes!!!

Clay's Leaves

Clay liked the leaves!


I told him to lay in the leaves and he laid in them belly down.


It was a nice fall day today.


All bundled up and ready to go play in the leaves .

Feeding Alivia

Clay loved giving Alivia her bottle.



Allison feeding Alivia her cereal while I made dinner. She told me, “Mommy, I sure would like a little baby like this”. I told her she had a little baby like that, he just grew up and his name is Clay. She just smiled.


What a good job Alli did! I think the only problem at times was that she wasn’t going fast enough! :)

Alivia's Sock

Clay was trying to put Alivia’s sock back on her foot. It didn’t go to well for him. :)
