Its all in my head: Winter!

Halloween!!

October ended with a super fun holiday, Alyssa got the hang of saying Happy Halloween! We took her to Truck or Treat at the local community center and she was a bit shy but didn't really hesitate approaching the people with candy. She learned Trick or Treat and enjoyed herself.

Jason took her up and down our street to trick or treat and she did so well! She was so dang cute as a kitty cat! I tried to get her into a different costume, either a fairy with big pretty wings, or Minnie Mouse, but nope, she wanted to be a Kiki. After trick or treating she even went up to the door and helped hand out candy to all the other 'friends' that came to our house. I LOVE our neighborhood and the amount of kids that were all so well behaved and decent, even the teenagers ;)

Kylee Turns Two!

Kylee had her birthday party at Flips gymnastics and I think it was a major hit! Alyssa loved the physical stuff at gym, just not the coach telling her what to do and when to do it. So open gym was a success. All the cousins had a blast and were pretty tuckered out by the time we got home.

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was going to be quite the holiday this year, Jason's parents and sister came up and joined in on the Foley fun. I think our big gatherings are become a little less daunting and it seems everyone enjoyed themselves. Alyssa was funny eating Patrick's ham and pickle rolls, she was chowing down! Until she got to an asparagus one...spit that sucker out onto the table. Haha, that's my girl.

Stacie stayed with us for her stay and she brought her kitten Liao, who is super close in age to our Chappy. The kittens played like crazy and become best friends. I'm not sure Stacie got much sleep on the couch with the cats running rapid though. One of the things Stacie brought is a play pen for Liao, she had the roof covered in ribbons so the cat can have kinda of a ribbon forest to play in...I got out of my shower and came out to Alyssa locked in the play pen and all the ribbons pulled off the roof...woops! Sorry Stacie ;)

Thanksgiving day was fun, lots of family and activity! I forgot to drink a lot of water and my stomach got super cranky, but I was able to rehydrate and the baby settled down. I even managed to stuff two full plates of turkey, stuffing, potatoes, green beans...but only one piece of pie. I would have LOVED another pumpkin cheesecake piece but nothing else was fitting in this belly :)

Chel took some family pictures and I love them :) Funny how we are all in short sleeves or sleeveless...it didn't feel like winter yet...that was soon to change!

I replaced my Nanas old glass bulbs with a few newer strands for the house and LOVE driving up to our lit up holiday house :) I even scored 5 more strands of pink lights while out Black Friday shopping so next year I may be able to do both the trees in pink...slowly getting to my all pink house!

My damn Jeep has been having issues, I brought it into the shop and it got a thousand bucks worth of damage fixed...only for my transmission to go out a week later! So I skipped my last class of the day and dropped it back at the Jeep Dealership...just in time for our first snow!! Sorry Dad, your Caddy doesn't fit in my garage!

This is my all time favorite season though, we had nowhere to go and all the time in the world to play in the snow :) Alyssa had a BLAST! She did not want to come in and even helped me try to shovel. I think Ill wait to really shovel at naptime because a toddler is not quite as OCD as I am when it comes to clearing the sidewalk. I'm drinking my water to prepare the babe for our workout...I think we got about 6 inches so far. Ill try to measure it in a bit...

This is Alyssa and I enjoying our mornings. I have about 2 more weeks of school before we get to do this everyday, until the babe comes ;)

28 weeks! For our Christmas present Jason and I got a 3D ultrasound of our little man. He has flipped to head down and kicked the ultrasound wand the whole time! Cant wait to meet him in just 9 more weeks!
