Stair Racing

So I went into Autumn's room to wake her up this morning and she wasn't there! Her bed was empty and there was no sign of her sleeping on the floor (which happens more often than not). Here's where I found her.

Here are Autumn and her friends doing some stair racing. I think Autumn had the advantage in her very slippery footie jammies. There was no rug burn on her tummy.

Adoption

It's National Adoption Awareness Month!!

This year's theme,"You don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent,"

YAY

HI! Autumn was having fun "brushing" her dinosaur's hair. Even though he doesn't have any. This first picture is just a fun one with her pretty ponies in her hair. She picked out the colors and helped brush her hair before I put the ponies in. Because we get her hair wet before we brush it every morning she thinks (and rightly so) that this is part of brushing anyone's hair. So whether she is brushing her own hair or a baby's hair or a dino's or parent's hair..... there is alot of water being liberally applied.

Trick or Treat

Here is Autumn with her favorite person at church. She's wearing a wig one of the youth plopped on her head earlier. She had lots of fun tickling Mike's face with the long hair.

Well, I have to say that this trick or treating thing was a HUGE hit with Autumn. She wanted to go out at about 6:30 Sat morning! It was a very long day of waiting. We tried to keep her busy but the closer we got to the time the more excited and antsy she got. We went to a cousin's house in Bloomington and trick or treated in their neighborhood. Then Autumn got to help pass out the candy while we ate supper and just relaxed at their house. I think the two activities were about equally fun for her.
