This is what happens when a 2 year old dresses herself...

So for the last few months, Alaina has been picking out her own outfits. If she doesn't like what she is wearing, she will dig through her closet at nap time and I'll find her in something like a swimsuit and princess knee socks. I guess she got sick of her princess dress so this is what I found her in:

And then she hammed it up for the camera:


2 nights ago, Alaina, Leo, and I went to Wal-Mart while Dave stayed home and studied. He had an exam, a quiz, and a paper due yesterday and then another exam today. Luckly, the rest of the week should be pretty smooth sailing. While we were out, the kids spent some of the money that they have recieved in cards over the last few months. We walked through the toy section until they each had picked out toys to buy with their money. Alaina picked out one of the shiney windmill things and a crown/ring/earring combo. Leo picked out 3 matchbox cars. Here is Alaina modeling her new crown, ring, and earrings.



While we were at the store, I gave each of the kids a candy bracelet. They were still eating them when we got home. Here they are checking out eachother's new toys.

Leo was driving his car over Alaina's legs and Bandit was checking out the windmill.

Alaina took the hood off of Leo's winter jacket and wore it around yesterday as a hat for most of the day. Along with her princess dress, she has quite the outfit. You can't see it here, but she also has mis-matched socks on that she got out of her sock drawer during her nap.

Yesterday the dog started to go nuts barking and looking out of our back door. He was barking at the biggest deer I have ever seen. The deer stayed around long enough for me to get my camera and go outside to get a good picture.

Alaina watched through the window.

Hope you are all having a great week!
