Day 333- Paying Bills

Alaina has to help me with everything.  She knows the difference in what I am using and whatever I try to pass off to her.  So, somehow she always ends up with my stuff.  I’m a sucker!

Day 332- More Leaves

We started raking/leaf blowing the yard last weekend.  We didn’t finish before the rain on Monday.  So today, I raked some more.  Alaina likes to run around and explore.  She also finds plenty of trouble.  I think we will still be raking in the spring.  They don’t seem to stop.

Day 331- Happy Thanksgiving!

We had lots of family fun today.  I am thankful that we got to spend the day with both Tyler’s family and mine.  It’s nice to all live in town (or within an hour) and can visit so easily.   I had a lot of cute family pictures, but this one is the best!  This is Hannah, Tyler’s sister, using Alaina as a baby doll.  They both had a blast, and it was nice for me to have a little break.  Alaina is learning to play without me!

Day 330- No Picture Today?

I guess I missed another day of taking a picture.  I found this one Tyler took from the weekend to take the place.  I thought it was sweet!  I still don’t think I’ve missed too many days.  I’m just so bad about posting them.  Yikes!  I can make it another month.  Then I’m not sure what I’ll do for the new year.  Any ideas?

Day 329- Splash!

Tyler told me that he and Alaina have a game they like to play at bath time.  He fills an empty bottle with water, tells her to look in, squirts it, and she laughs.  He did it a few times, and she didn’t seem to mind.  I guess it’s better than crying when she gets water in her eyes.

Day 328- Drooly

Alaina has been chewing and drooling up a storm.  I think she’s working on some new teeth.  I just can’t see them yet.  She’s also woken up at night crying a few times lately.  This is unlike her.  It better be the teeth and not a new trend.

Day 327- Contemplative

I’m not sure why Alaina looks so worried, but I like the picture, anyway.

Day 326- Jam with Emma

We all went to my Dad’s today for Thanksgiving number one.  It’s always a day of chaos and fun.  We had four kids under the age of 4, a couple dogs, a big pile of toys, some musical instruments, 17 people, and a potato gun.

Day 325- Crazy Dog

I don’t need a dog, but it’s fun to have one you can send home at the end of the day.  She is still a puppy and a bit wild.  This is Macy using the slide as a treadmill.  She’ll run in place forever!  She comes up about 9 every morning and looks in the door.  She then looks for anything left out that she can chew into pieces.  If the garage is open, she hits the jackpot!  Then she sleeps beside the back door.  If she’s lucky, she gets a cat or Alaina to play with.

Day 324- Tennessee Girl

Alaina doesn’t care whether she has shoes on or not.  I can’t blame her when it’s warm out.  Today was not freezing but too cold to play outside long with no shoes or jacket.  I got her out of the car, and she made a quick get-away to the yard.
