As we were heading out the door a couple of weeks ago, Ally yelled “WAIT ME!” and ran to grab something from her toy box. A few minutes later, she announced that she was ready to go. . .with 5 purses for some reason.

Then she came back in and grabbed her new hat and gloves. CUTE!

Then she found daddy’s hat and gloves in the car and decided to try them on with all 5 purses. How’s that for being a trend-setter? (by the way, we soon discovered that all 5 purses were hilariously EMPTY!)

Ally’s BFF Annabel came over for most of the day last Saturday. They had tons of fun as usual playing with Ally’s kitchen and lots of other toys. They took a break to watch Monsters Inc. on the portable DVD player together. . . (The OSU/Michigan game was on the main tv and our visitors insisted that it was more important) 🙂

After getting their pictures taken together in their matching outfits, they decided to have a tea party. It was the cutest thing! They sat there and played for about 15 minutes. I’d love to know what was going on in their little minds in the last picture though. . .LOL!

The first weekend of November was the annual Trot for Tots race in Dublin that benefited Children’s Hospital Hospice. It was a 10k run and 3k run/walk. Bryan ran the 10k (and finished faster than he thought he would!)
and I walked with Nicholas and Ally in the stroller. Ally fell asleep within the first 10 minutes of our walk (must be hard work getting pushed in a stroller!)
It was only in the upper 30’s that morning and windy so we were freezing! We ended up having a lot of fun despite the cold!

This was Ally’s first Trick or Treat where she really started to ‘get’ it. . .within a few houses she understood that if she went up to people’s houses and smiled, they would give her CANDY! She never did say trick or treat but people didn’t mind of course 🙂 Ally was a fairy and Nicholas was a magician. Nicholas went with his best friend to see how many houses they could hit in the shortest amount of time. (which I think is the goal for most 12 year olds, right?) 🙂 Ally recognized a KitKat as one of her favorite candy bars and took a break to ‘sample’ her loot. Ally’s BFF Annabel was a fairy too, but getting a 16 month old and a 2.5 year old to pose together is easier said than done as you can imagine.
