Happy Halloween!!

We celebrated Halloween a little early at a special event for kids this weekend!  Alina loves Elmo and was excited to be dressed like him, but didn't want to wear the Elmo hood

Checking out her "candies and trick or treats!"  (that Mama and Dada will eat!)  We totally forgot to get a special pumpkin to put them in so we grabbed this cloth grocery bag out of our car at the last minute.

Trick or treating

She loves hanging on the bar at the park and going down the super big and fast slides that Dada introduced her to!

A couple of cute ones I forgot to post from our hike

Sean got to fly to Virginia to be in SeanO's wedding this week...it sounded like an amazing time!! Congratulations Uncle SeanO!!!!!!!

Alina decided not to nap one day this week and ended up falling asleep in the stroller later...so precious

32 weeks and a name!

Baby Colin was weighing in at an estimated 4 lbs 12 oz this week at my ultrasound....2 oz less than Alina when she was born!!

I think my maternity shirts are getting too small....is that possible?? 

Hiking

Alina loved hiking and for most of the time was running, running, and running!!  We think she ran the toddler equivalent of a marathon

Our friends gave us this bike helmet for Alina and she didn't want to take it off!

Leaves!

Alina had so much fun playing in the leaves with Dada!

Then they found some milkweed to play with and Alina decided to carry a bunch home!

She got into the sticky notes and put them all over herself and Dada!

A couple random shots

These pictures are from a little while back when Alina was "driving" Uncle Jared's big truck!

Alina got a new John Deere hat from the construction workers who were paving our driveway and wanted to wear it backwards like Dada!

Apples!

This weekend we went apple picking and Alina loved picking them and putting them in the bag (from the tree and the some lovely ones on the ground made their way into the bag too)

We lost track of how many apples she ate!! 

She loves running! Especially running with Dada!!

A couple of quotes...

I should do this more often but I just had to share two of my recent favorite quotes from Alina:

She was playing with her stuffed Curious George when the clock chimed and she said "Oh my God George did you hear that it was awesome!"

She was looking at Sean's hair and then looked in his mouth and said "Nope no hair in your big fat mouth!"

HAHA!
