Alana bana

Alana bana is 6 months old! Halfway to a year already!!! She is 13 lbs. 9 oz. and she is starting to sit up all by herself. She smiles so big all the time and is such a little angel. She is so happy watching her big brother and sister play and she pulls herself all over the livingroom to get to their toys. Now that she is 6 months I am going to start giving her baby food. I am pretty sure she will like it because she is already grabbing and trying to eat my food all the time. We shall see.

Happy Halloween!

We started out the day hanging out with some friends and lots of food. Then we headed to the mall to do some trick-or-treating since it was raining out. We got lots of candy while walking the mall for an hour. Then we made our Halloween rounds...first Lauren and Abby's house, then Grandma and JuJu's house, then Nana's house, walked to Amy and Hans' house and then Nana, Uncle B, Lexi, Sean, Alana, Gary and I walked all around Lyncourt until 8. Sean was so tired by then! He was the cutest little trick or treater!!! His cute little voice said trick or treat to everybody and then they said he was the cutest dragon they had ever seen (some people called him a dinosaur and he yelled at them that he was a dragon). Then he got his candy, picked it up after they put it in his bucket, smiled at the people and said, "Thanks, it's my favorite!" And he told every single person that it was his favorite, no matter what it was and then they gave him another piece since it was his favorite. Very smart of him! Alexis was a pretty witch. She said she was a mean witch, but she didn't act very mean. She was very excited about everything tonight...seeing all the kids and getting all the goodies. She got a ton and then had to seperate it all when we got home making piles of what she liked the best. Alana was the cutest little bear for her first Halloween. She was so good while I carried her all around all night. She slept through most of everything, but Nana carried a bag for her to get some candy too...which I will eat all of I am sure.

I love Halloween!

Busy Weekend

This past weekend was full of fun for me and the kids. Friday night I actually got to go out to dinner with Gary, which was nice. We tried going to a movie but it was so busy and the movie was sold out, so we went back home early since Sean bumped his mouth on the table and got a fat lip. Poor Sean...but he was okay.

Saturday night we had a small Halloween party for the kids and some of their friends. We decorated the downstairs and the kids wore their costumes and we had lots of goodies. They all went trick-or-treating in the buckets we had all over the room, ate a ton of sugary stuff, wrapped each other up like mummies, played a ghost ball toss and ran around with each other. They were all so cute!

Sunday we threw a baby shower for my friend, Brittany who had her baby 2 1/2 weeks early, so her baby got to come to the baby shower too! He is so cute and tiny! Alexis loved holding him and didn't want to let him go.
