Halloween!

Finally after all of our costume practice, it was actually Halloween!  This was my second year trick or treating so I was a pro and showed Clara the ropes.  She did it exactly right - she said "Trick or Treat", got one candy and then said "Thank You!".  At the end of the night we both had so much candy - it was awesome!  I can't wait for it to be Halloween again!

Here we are - Captain America and Where's Waldo!

Grandma B came over to hand out candy while we all went trick or treating!

No jackets needed this year - I didn't even wear any clothes under my costume because it was so warm!

Boo at the Zoo!

We all went to the zoo for Boo at the Zoo to see the animals and get candy at their Halloween stations!  It was good practice for my first real time trick or treating!  I practiced saying "trick or treat" and "thank you". Getting candy was a good incentive to learn quickly!

Here we are - Captain America and ladybug!  I didn't want Mom and Dad to lose me in my "Where's Waldo?" costume at the zoo, so I went with my ladybug costume instead!

Our friend Will met us at the zoo - he was Buzz Lightyear!

After 50 pictures, this is the best we gave Mom trying to get a picture of the two of us.  It just wouldn't be any fun to make it easy for her! 

Owen found Spiderman and gave his best Captain America pose!  I think he means business!

We stopped for a snack and to rest from the heat!  Not sure Mom and Dad were laughing...

A trip to the zoo is never complete without a train ride!  We can still all fit on the same bench but probably not for much longer since I'm going to need my own seat soon!

Owen didn't make it out of the parking lot before he looked like this!  But I shouldn't talk - I didn't make it to the highway before I looked the same!

Fall Festival!

We had a fall festival at school where everyone wore their costumes!  It was towards the end of the day so the Mommy's and Daddy's could come to it too!  Mom and Dad didn't dress up, but that was okay - I really just wanted to play with my buddies (even though I had been with them all day already!)

Here we are - Captain America (me), Hulk Smash (Ayden) and a race car driver (Henry)!

Clara's whole class dressed up as "Where's Waldo?" so she wore her costume all day!  Of course she loved the hat and didn't even mind the glasses too much.  She's with her teacher Ms. Alisha - one of her favorites!

Clara managed to keep her glasses on even while she way playing outside.  They were a little big but she figured out how to keep them on! 

Here we are about to race down the slide!

Marietta Square!

Owen and I had a fun day at the Marietta Square at a chalk festival!  We looked at chalk drawings, walked around the square, played and saw Halloween decorations!  I might not look like I was having fun, but I was!  Just a little hot...

I got a football that I didn't want to let go of!

We found some Halloween Minions to pose with!

We went into a clothes store that had all kinds of cute things just my size!  But Mom wasn't going to buy me a $40 dress so instead I just had fun in the cool looking dressing room!

Anytime we go to the square, we have to go down the slide!  Even in white pants...

It didn't take long for Owen to find the bouncy house obstacle courses!

Clemson with Friends!

I went to my second Clemson game this season with Mom, Ollie and his mom!  We had a fun time!  And Clemson won (even though we weren't there to see it in person)...

First we did some tailgating and met up with our friend Daniel!

Nothing beats juice boxes and monster trucks for tailgating! 

Mom and I stopped in Littlejohn before the game.  This is where Clemson plays basketball! I told Mom I want to go to another game here (last time I went I was only 2)!

I'm glad that Ollie came to the game with us - I liked having a friend there with me! 

After tailgating, we went into the game!

I was into the game for a little bit...

But the sun got hot and we couldn't keep our eyes open!  It was nap time for both of us!

On the way home we got to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the car!

While we were tailgating, I got to try rolling down a big hill! Next time I want to bring cardboard with me and try sliding down like the other kids!

Best Big Brother!

I have lots of fun with my big brother - he's the best!  I like to give him hugs - at bedtime, when he's crying and sometimes just to be silly!

There was a late fall day that was warm enough for one last time playing in the pool!

We went for a walk near the library and found some ducks to watch!

Owen came and played with me in my crib - we got brought in all the blankets and stuffed animals!  Can you tell we were having fun?!

Dad played a game to see if he could jump and reach our toes!  He could reach Owen's but my legs are still a little too short...

On our way back from Asheville, we were bored with riding in the car so we came up with our own entertainment by singing Happy Birthday!  We both thought it was hysterical!

And I made up a really fun game to play at home - it's called Bouncy Brother!

Soccer Sister!

I didn't get left out of Owen's soccer season!  I went to just about all of his games to cheer him on.  I was a good water girl too and got Owen his Gatorade when they took a break!

I was at the games, but sometimes took a break from watching!

I made good use of my Clemson chair this season!  Soccer watching is serious business!

It was bright out there some weeks - I had to put my shades on to keep an eye on Owen!

Grandma let me go on the field to practice with the big kids for a little bit!
