Since Hannah is seven months old today (Oct 12th for posting purposes but really Dec 8th) then I am posting TONS of Hanny pics! She is simply gorgeous and everyone comments on how much she looks like Allen. I am sure they will both take offense as the years go by. We couldn't have a cuter, sassier and happier baby. She just glows
Katy was at school for these photo shoots but Allen had fun helping out with his Hanny. He never calls her anything else, just Hanny. It's too adorable. He would walk over hot coals for her. He would turn down chocolate for her. He would almost say no to a ride in a fire truck for her. We all have our limits, ya know.
Our Wal-mart is remodeling into a super. Woe unto me. Until then, Allen loves watching the diggers and cranes at work. And Hanny loves watching me...or Mom, who is more often pushing Hanny's cart.
I am not creative to come up with this on my own, but one of my favorite blogs to stalk shared this idea for a movie night treat. Blue jello with one eye ball in it to represent "Bob" from Monsters Versus Aliens. How cool is that? I'm good, right? Wrong. Apparently it tasted disgusting and Mom, Peter, Katy and even Allen wouldn't eat it. What a waste. They loved the movie, though. Katy's favorite character was Ginormica and Allen loved the roach...of course.
Allen played on the computer one day. This is the not-so-helpful result. Scary, huh? I had to actually flip the monitor upside down for a while to work.
Allen hasn't met a motorcycle that he doesn't like.
Katy's dance class encouraged her to bring a friend one day. Maggie came along and they had a fabulous time. Kalan is already in regular attendance and Sage lives too far away, so we just had Maggie. The actual dancing was so fun to watch but after class let out, the ladies were brave enough to return to the class room and try out their moves. Allen even join in and peeked over at some older ladies who were strutting their stuff. They may have been eight years old, but he was undaunted. When you're the complete package like that little man, what's to fear?
After a tiring work-out, Wendy's sounds pretty good!
I guess this speaks for itself. Oh, how Allen loves his monster costume. Since it's blue and has googly eyes he insists it's Cookie Monster. Tis the season for dress-up.
One very full and busy day we tackled a visit to Mom's house with bike riding, a trip to the park for Play Group and pumpkin carving, more fun at Mom's and then a trip to the Bounce. Maggie came along for some of our good times, and we LOVE having her. Katy never disagrees with Maggie, which is something I can't say for anyone else she knows. Mom came to the park and kept our Hannah Banana safe from harm. I had my hands full just keeping Allen from breaking something, either on himself or on the park.
Sometimes we need to break out of routine and just hang out with friends. Some time in the first part of October we loaded up and headed down to York & Stacy's house to have a play date. Kate Z. joined us, too with her son Brady. Stacy's Brock was at school that day, which was sad because he sounds like the perfect match for our Katybird.
The highlight of our time was when Stacy let Katy drive the three wheeler. Stevie Wonder would have done a better job. She ran into the pool fence, the patio furniture, the baby trees and the bushes. She clothes-lined herself on the trampoline, and instead of saving her, I took pictures while Stacy held Hannah and saved them. Allen hung on for dear life but he wasn't scared. He loved every minute of it! At one time Katy almost ran over Brady!
I treated myself to more fun with friends when I joined Delma and Angela for our second annual Girls Weekend Getaway. What happens in Seguin, stays in Seguin. It was TONS of fun and Delma had the best possible surprise for us - she is PREGGERS! Since she is 27 and holding, she may never be too old to have a baby. hahaha! Keep 'em comin'!
I complain about laundry quite a bit. Here is an illustration of the all-consuming, life-sucking force that tries to take over my life.
And I'm not talking about Jaxson the cat perched on our purple Kathy Gore blankey. She's going to be ticked when she sees him on it, though. Laundry is the bane of my existence. Even after it's all sorted, checked, washed, dried and folded, someone needs to put it away. Makes me almost want to have octuplets just so someone else will come in once a week and do my laundry.
Here are some random shots of the kids. Katy made her hat for rainbow day. Allen dressed himself and was quite proud. Allen dressing his "man" for church with a tie.
Here is a picture of Hannah drinking her bottle. It was quite a trick to take it while I was feeding her, I'm sure. It's been so long ago I barely remember. I do, however, remember why I took it. Hanny has a little dent in her forehead when she's looking up at you like this. Katy has a dent in her nose. Allen always has some kind of dent in his knuckle head from one adventure or another. I love my dented little kiddos!
Amy's puppies came to visit for a few days and we took them for a walk to the park. We had a picnic and the pups loved it! Of course, Katy and Allen loved it more.

We are finally in the season for black skulls with smoke coming out the eyes. Allen loved it! We were shopping at Half Priced Books and he wouldn't come away from the "skelton." He would say, "Wanna touch it." What a brave boy! Again, Katy was at school.
Well, that sums up the first half of the month. More later.
