Alaina and Leo got mail!

Alaina and Leo got a package from Grammy and Grandpa yesterday and had a blast going through all of the Halloween stuff! I think between Grandparents and Aunt Haley, we won't have to go trick-or-treating for candy. We have enough to last months now!

The kids we so excited going through the box.

Daddy read them the letter.
Leo went after the candy....
Check out this Hershey's Kiss!! (And notice Leo reaching for it!!)
A mouthful!
Yum, Yum!
Leo got in on the chocolate action.
And Alaina shared the Kiss.
Then they danced to the music card.



Oh, by the way, this silver dress and the crown has become a little bit of a uniform. Alaina only spends a few minutes a day in her real clothes because she always wants to be dressed up like a princess. This is her current favorite dress.

Today Alaina made a fort!

Pretty cool, huh? She has her own little tv and chair in her fort. (And yes, that is the same dress and crown from last night...)
We have moved down a little TV from upstairs to put by Alaina's toys. The big TVs use so much electricity, not to mention, I'm sick of listening to Dora in surround sound....We got this idea on Sunday when Alaina wanted to watch a princess movie during football. Dave asked me on Monday if I wanted him to put the tv back upstairs (where it has been turned off since we moved in...). I said, "Thanks, but no thanks!" I really like having it down here (and Dave doesn't care), so it is staying down here for the time being. It will be great this winter when we can't go outside as much. Plus, now I can watch the morning news (because who has time to read the newspaper when you can multi-task while watching the news) without being asked 20 times to watch cartoons.
