The Allain Family Adventures: October 2014

This fall has been a fun and beautiful time of year. We have kept busy with school, activities, play dates and hanging out together at home. We have had awesome weather and have been able to play outside in our yard a lot. This time of year is so much fun with all the Halloween activities and fall festivals.

Halloween costumes 2014!

All dressed up for brunch! No, we did not style his hair like that!

Daddy had to work over the weekend, so we met him for lunch. Lunch in the teacher's lounge :)

Neighborhood Halloween party. Bryton did not like the feel of the hay.

Is it child labor if they like doing it?

Annabel is loving school and has met some nice new friends this year. We went to open house and Annabel was going bonkers because she was so excited we were there. Her teachers said they have never seen her act that way :) It was so relieving to see her so happy. She is talking more at school and telling me about her day when she gets home. Annabel has started tap/ballet class and I think she has found her three year old calling in life. She has it once a week and just loves it. She asks me to put her hair in a bun each week, just like real ballerinas. Annabel has also started swimming at the YMCA. She goes two evenings a week and I am hoping by the summer that she is more confident in the water. Her favorite things at home right now are doing "art projects", coloring, making forts, reading books, and playing with Bryton. Annabel has moved into a new big girl bedroom in the basement and she is the queen of the house :) She is very very talkative at home and loves to ask questions! She is working on learning her letters and is doing a great job. She soaks in everything!

Our little ballerina!

Annabel got a special ice cream treat because she slept until the sun came up!

This picture makes me laugh every time I see it.....swim lessons!

Bryton is definitely all boy and becoming more and more adventurous. Three things we are working on getting through right now are: hating our car seat, yelling, and getting teeth. These three things might put me in the nut house! The poor guy is trying to talk, but yelling must seem easier. He is so funny and makes me laugh everyday. He is very loving and super adorable. His favorite things right now are pushing the toy stroller or mower, cars, food, and his blankie....which he recently started calling mimi??? We have to keep a close on this little guy at all times. I turned my head for a second the other day and he was two houses down and pushing his mower into the neighbor's garage.
