Fall Festival!

Our school had a fall festival and we got to dress up in our costumes for it!  I even got to wear my costume all day!  I was Optimus Prime (from Transformers) and Clara was a Butterfly Fairy!

Here I am with some of my classmates - Weber, Ward, and Henry! 

And here's most of my class!

And another one of my class - I wore my mask for this picture!

Here's Clara with some of her friends - Laura and Eva!

Clara only has girls in her class so lots of princesses! 

Ridley wanted to get in a picture with Clara and Laura!

And Gabi, too!  Apparently Laura likes to be in pictures with Clara!

Clara's tutu and wings didn't work too well going down the slide so she modified her costume a little!  Her and Gabi were excited to play on the big playground (the one my class uses) since they don't normally get to!

Grandparent Time!

Mom and Dad decided they needed a few days away from us (I guess we make them tired or something) so Grandma Pam and Grandpa Mike came to stay with us!  Mom and Dad headed off to Cancun Mexico and we had some fun times with Grandma and Grandpa!

Did some Lego building - shirtless of course!

We went to one of our favorite parks!  It has the best swing where we can both ride it at the same time (and I get to stand up on it)!

Grandma Pam styled Clara's hair and did an excellent braid for her!

Everyone came to watch my t-ball game and then we played on the playground at the ball park.  Clara was showing off her new Minnie watch!

We went to a pumpkin farm and each picked out the perfect pumpkins!  (A little smaller than the one I was sitting on...)

We went up to Marietta Square and the train park for some more fun! 

They had some hula hooping set up there so Clara and I gave it a try!

The weather was nice over the weekend so we took advantage of playing outside!

We took a trip to the Children's Museum and found lots of fun things to do!  Clara loved the pretend store with the checkout counter! 

I found a pretend restaurant and served Grandpa his order!

There was magic sand to play in and a tree house with a phone!

Of course Clara found the books!  And safety first with goggles!

We had a good time!  (And no trips to the doctor's office for anyone!)

We were beat!

We had fun with Grandma and Grandpa but were glad to have Mom and Dad back home!

Clara had some story time with Grandpa and read him "Go Dog Go"!

More T-Ball!

Over the season I kept learning a lot at t-ball and ended up being pretty good!  I can definitely throw and hit well - still working on the fielding / catching part though!  I'm ready to try it again in the spring!

After all of the games we gave the other team high 5's!

Here's the Fireflies with all the players and coaches!

I always had lots of people cheering for me at the games!  Of course Clara and Mom were at almost all of my games.  Grandma and Grandpa Young made it to several and Grandma and Grandpa Hermansen even got to come to one! 

Here's some of my hits throughout the season!

Guess who got the game ball on the last game of the season??!!

Clara Belle!

If you ask me these days how old I am, I'm quick to tell you "2 1/2"!  I'm quite the chatterbox and love to run, sing and skip everywhere.  I decided I didn't like my Playball class at school, but I do like my gymnastics class!  I love to watch the iPad but want to hold it and pick the videos myself - most days Owen and I do a good job of sharing...  My favorite thing to do though is look at books!  I can "read" several of them myself.  I am pretty opinionated and don't mind sharing - doesn't matter if it's clothes, food, or people - I know what/who I like (and don't)!

Mom and Dad say I'm silly and crazy all the time - I don't know why they say that??!!

Middle of the kitchen is always a good place to take time to read a book!

Playing outside can be exhausting! 

One morning I woke Mom up early so she set me up in my chair to read some books while her and Dad slept more.  Guess I wasn't actually ready to get up either!

I really like going through all of the new books when we bring some home from the library!

Here I am doing a spinning dance outside!

One night when we were getting ready for bed, I turned into Monster Clara with my PJs!

Here I am singing my version of "On Top of Spaghetti"!  You can guess who taught me the potty humor that I added to the song!
