More Pictures

Here's some pictures of what Braelyn's been up to over the past few days.  The first is her "art" book.  I happened to have a sketch book lying around and it has now become her scribble book.  She scribbles with pen, pencil, and we introduced colored pencil today.  She also paints in it with our bingo daubers.  That's dangerous.  We also bought her some color wonder markers and paper (the markers only color on that paper).  She likes it, but we also found that she likes to bite the tips of the markers off.  Oh well.  And we bought some sidewalk chalk for her to use outside.
Here we are in our swimming suit trying to swim on a blustery 70 degree day.  Crazy girl.  We need to throw out the pool as it has a crack that makes it leak.
You'll have to excuse the nudity.  This is Braelyn's favorite outfit and she loves to try on Mommy's shoes.  She actually walks in them better than I do, probably. 
Finally, she picked out this outfit the other day after I did her laundry (well, not ALL the outfit).  I can almost never wash this outfit because whenever she sees it she has to put on at least the pants part of it.  It's a tank top either dress or really long shirt with bloomers underneath.  It was way too cold for that on this day, so I made her wear the only pair of leggings we have (soccer ball print with ruffles on the bottom) and a jacket.

We also went to the pumpkin patch last Saturday to pick out pumpkins.  Nate took a picture or two, so I'll have to post it once I get motivated enough to get pictures off the camera and onto my computer.  The pumpkin patch is at Gilcrease Orchard, where you can also pick your own apples and vegetables, so we got some granny smith apples along with our two pumpkins.  I made an apple pie.

We will carve one pumpkin and she'll get to finger paint the other, probably this weekend since we have a three day weekend (yay, Nevada Day!).  We decided since we don't really plan on taking her trick-or-treating (she doesn't need the candy), we aren't going to do a costume, just a halloween shirt.  We are getting out the cooler weather clothes today and I had to go buy her some long sleeve pajamas.  We didn't have any in 12 month size, which she's still wearing.  We did put her in some pants she wore last winter and they were pretty high water, so we may need to size up in those for length (though they were 6-12 month, not 9-12 month, so maybe that makes a difference?).  We go to the doctor again on Nov 2nd for her 18 month appointment and shots.

Nate's last regular season game is today, thank goodness.  Playoffs start next week and they made it to playoffs (they are 2nd? in league.  I don't know for sure.)  The home game last week was an exciting one...there was a "fight"...a player from the other team tried to fight our players, who just stood there and walked away, so not a big deal, except their JV team rushed the field.  It was too bad because that ended the game and it was tied, with the 1st place team in league.  Nate was sad they couldn't finish the game because they would have had a free kick they could have scored on, potentially and it was the last 2-4 minutes of the game, and if they would have won they would have been 1st in league.  Oh well.
