Happy Halloween & More!

Well, it's been an extremely busy month. My freelance work is chugging along at 100 mph, and Jaime has stayed VERY busy with Brock White and Puny work. Not to mention, we're both trying to get ready for a big craft fair on December 1st, and I just moved printing studios. Whew! Oh yeah, and lots going on with Alice.

So, what's new? Well, she now has four (maybe 3 1/2) teeth. Two bottom/center, and two right above. Her smile is so cute. She's become obsessed with Blues Clues (a kid's TV show)...she's walking and climbing like crazy...she can do animal noises... and we've got two new words: Elmo and Dog. (Even though they sounded more like "Mel-mo" and "Du....g")


Alice loves the park, but now it's almost too cold to go out. Last time Jaime and I took her there, she made friends with a little boy (Pedro) and really enjoyed the swing.


Here she is climbing on the Stegosaurus slide thingy.


A fun bouncy ride in the Triceratops spring-ride-thing-a-ma-jig.


Mommy worried she'd get stuck under there, but Daddy wanted a cool photo. :)


Her first Star Wars toys. Daddy rules.


Having fun with Auntie Carrie durring the Vikings game last week. At least somebody was having fun.


New Elmo slippers.


Watching either Blues Clues videos or watching Vanhtha play online poker at Auntie Carries house.


A new past-time is wearing hats around the house. Good habbit to get into, since the cold days are right around the corner.


Not much there, but she still needs two brushes to get it all.


Go Vikes! (Or is that sign-language for "Blues Clues?")


Painting Halloween Pumpkins. Icky wants to help.


My little Kandinsky at work.


However, pumpkin painting requires a bath afterwards.


Alice found Mommy's new winter hat and gloves today. Looks good kiddo!


We were invited to Turman's for Halloween for pizza and trick-or-treating. Alice and Ada comparing costumes.


Alice with a slightly modified "Minnesotan" costume. Heavy sweatshirt under the bee costume.


Three amigos. Ada as a beautiful butterfly, Mae as a poodle and Alice as a bee. By coincidence, Sara was also a bee.


TRICK OR TREAT!


SMELL MY FEET!


Riding around in her brand new car-seat. Forward facing! (Just installed today.)


Our little stinger!


Bees climb stairs?


Our pumpkin patch.


Alice's first trick-or-treat haul.

That's it for now. Happy Halloween!
