Brent and the kids spent the afternoon a couple of weeks ago raking leaves. They got a lot accomplished, the kids had fun playing in the leaves, and I got a little time to myself! (I guess there are a few perks about being pregnant aka unable to rake or bend over to pick up leaves!)

Big girl bed??
A couple of weeks ago Brent set up the toddler bed. Since Grace and the baby will have to share a room, I thought I needed to get Grace use to sleeping in her "big girl bed." At first she loved it and would read books on her bed and play with Gavin on her bed and take naps in her bed...
Gavin and Grace playing on the bed. At least she will play on her bed. Hopefully that it is a good start... perhaps eventually she will actually sleep in it!Tuesday, November 3, 2009
Our Halloween Weekend
We had quite an eventful weekend. It started off with pumpkin carving on Thursday, and then I was one of the "party Mom's" helping with Gavin's Halloween party on Friday. At his school, the Kindergartners go on a parade around the school with their costumes on. Gavin was the super star of the day and got to be the line leader!

Pumpkin Carving
We just had our 7th annual McAllister-Peterson pumpkin carving night. The first year we moved to Spokane we met the Peterson's and we have been carving pumpkins with them every year since. We have a set semi-annual get together since we also dye Easter eggs together every year as well.

A McAllister Magic Show
This weekend Gavin and Brent put on a magic show for the family. It worked out great because Gavin spent the Saturday afternoon session of conference listening and coloring to get ready for the magic show once conference was over.
The magicians got all dressed up and Gavin handed us tickets for the show.Tuesday, September 15, 2009
These boots are made for walk'n
Yesterday we went to the Spokane County FAIR!! I decided to get Grace in her best cowgirl outfit. The boots are soooo cute but a bit to snug! It took a lot of work to squeeze Grace's feet into them for one last wearing. I guess she has to learn sooner or later the price of beauty sometimes means pain (especially if we are talking about really cute shoes!)
Once I got the shoes on, it took her a bit to figure out how to walk in such a big boot. But once she got the hang of it Grace didn't want to take them off.
A little cowgirl boot close up!
Ready, set, let's go to the FAIR! Yee haw!Saturday, September 12, 2009
Go Green Lightning!!!
Gavin had his first soccer game today. Actually he had his first TWO soccer games today! Gavin isn't quite sure what to think about soccer yet. But I did see him crack a smile a few times during the game so at least he is having some fun.
The cheering section: Mom, Dad, Grace, DaNae, Ben, Ella, and Knox. A pretty good turnout for the 1st game of the season!
Cheerleader Grace doing some moves!
For some reason during the second game Grace kept taking off her shirt. I chased her down a couple of times to put it back on. But once she started posing, I just had to take a picture!
