Growling Like a Wolf

Happy Halloween

This was out of the ordinary, Clara let me take photos of her without looking mad or covering her face. It might have helped that I told her I got to take a picture of her or we wouldn't go to the YMCA for their trick-or-treat night. She is growling like a wolf in the photos. Yes, she wanted to be a wolf for Halloween, we haven't been able to get it out of her why she picked a wolf. (If you notice her socks, she likes to wear mismatched socks because the big girls at daddy's school wear mismatched socks.)

Preschool is Hard Work

When Clara goes to preschool on Tuesday and Thursday she doesn't have time for a nap at the babysitter. This is what happens most evenings.

Forgot to Post - Wedding Reception

In August we had a wedding reception for Vince and Lisa in Brookfield. We were having such a good time that we forgot to take many photos. The top picture is Clara showing us she is about to eat Lisa's face on the frosting off of the cake.

I asked the crew if most of the dusty work is done so I could clean a little - no, a lot - this weekend. I have lived with sheets over everything and dust on the floor (and everywhere) long enough. The washer and dryer is hooked back up also. I kind of like the house to get this messy so when I clean I can see a big difference.

First Day of Preschool

Clara's first day of preschool was Tuesday. The only way she would take a 'first day of school photo' was if she could sit on her bike. Eric took her to school her first day and luckily they arrived at the same time as Lauren, so she was ready to go. The only thing she told us she learned her first day was "criss cross applesauce."

Over Half Way There-22 weeks

Clara isn't much for taking photos, but she was happy to give her baby brother a hug and luckily we caught a cute picture of her.
