Some Pictures

Ian started crawling a couple weeks ago; more like scooting around on his belly. He crawls on his knees more, but he resorts to the army crawl when he wants to go fast. He’s been massively cranky with teeth coming in on all four sides.
And Allison has been enjoying pushing my buttons. Today alone she smeared her mouth all over the front window- timeout- then took a crayon and wrote a big, long “note” on the back of her door- another timeout- all within the space of 10 minutes. And yesterday, she spent “quiet time” trashing her room. 
Handmade Dress Patterns Give-away

Allison decided a couple weeks ago to be Minnie Mouse so Ian was Mickey Mouse. I modified a Simplicity pattern, view F, to have a fuller skirt and added a sash. I made Ian a pair of pants from another Simplicity pattern. They turned out really cute so I’m going to make a couple more pairs for church and general wear this winter. 
I didn’t get a good picture of the dress yet. I’m going to try and get a couple pictures outside this week while the weather is still nice.
Allison love trick or treating. She went to a few houses around the neighborhood then we went to a friend’s house for a party.
Some catching up to do
Posted onWe had a busy October and I can’t believe it’s already November. We went to Disneyland a couple weeks ago and had a great time. Even though it was 5 days, looking back it feels like it flew by.
We saw Mickey Mouse and rode Small World waaaay too many times. Allison loved it.

Even Ian went on a couple of rides. He spent most of the time in the stroller and the moby wrap but he was good.

Wow do Bean and Goose look exactly alike. The nose and eyes, especially. And Allison looks a lot like her Grandma in this picture.
