It's Been Too Long...

It's been so long I am not sure where to begin....Nolan was a Cop for Halloween and loved it.  Danny dressed up as Nolan's "bad guy" as he called him, so he thought that was pretty fun. Alaina was a lion, which fit her perfectly since she likes to "roar" at us all the time to scare us.  Their favorite game to play is hide-and-seek, and both love the thrill of Danny or I popping out of our hiding spots to scare them.  Both kids really enjoyed the Potato bowl parade.  Alaina was much more daring than Nolan.  He stuck pretty close to the curb and Alaina wanted to go right up to the floats.  Both kids were great helpers in the yard this fall.  Nolan especially loved putting the leaves in the big pumpkin garbage bags.  Halloween was all around the most fun holiday so far for both kids and Alaina also discovered a new love for Whoppers.  Ugh...she is still asking for them! 

Nolan loves going to open skating and checking his dad into the boards, he loves to sit in the penalty box, he is obsessed with playing with his "hockey guys" (they are basically real people to him), he loves Sprite, I think he is the only 3 year that can quote lines from the TV show "Home Improvement" and even does the Tim Allen grunt (he says he likes Al the best LOL), he still loves to be a little helper and is honestly the sweetest little boy ever.  Nolan also just started his first round of swimming lessons and loves it.  We also put him in a sports class for something to do on Saturdays.  It's only a 4 time thing, but so far he has learned about basketball and he has discovered he does not like dribbling.  Good thing he isn't crazy about the sport he won't have much height for!! 

Alaina's new favorite thing to do is "hands, hands, hands" (aka wash hands), she loves to swim in the tub, loves to throw her food all over the floor and put her empty plate on her head and yells "happy, happy" for whatever reason, loves her Bauer Boy, huge Momma's girl, wants to do everything her brother does, but refuses when he comes in for a hug, she is a little instigator, she loves going to Holly's, she likes going to skating with Nolan and getting a few minutes on the ice wtih Daddy, loves reading and puzzles, Mickey Mouse, likes to lay in Nolan's bed with him while he watches a movie before bed, and is overall a typical 18 month old little stinker.
