Boy Crazy!

It's official...Alex is boy crazy! She talks about getting married all the time and wanting to kiss her handsome prince. She is usually still wanting to marry daddy, but there have been several boy crazy moments lately.
On Tuesday, when I picked Alex up from school was she acting shy and coy. I asked her about her day and she told me, "Mau gave me the most special gift I've ever gotten. He found a heart on the playground and gave it to me. I have Mau's heart now. He is such a special boy. He thinks I am beautiful and he is my favorite boy. Maybe I will marry Mau."

On Thursday, Alex was playing with a boy at her school on the playground named Drew. They were having a great time and holding hands and pushing each other on the swings..pretty innocent, right? Well, on our way out Drew runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs, "Hey, Alex can I have your phone number?" AHHH! I was dying! Too funny!

Halloween Part Two: Cinderella and her Dinosaur

On Halloween, we packed up the crew and headed to my parent's neighborhood for some trick-or-treating. We had the best time with them last year, so we've decided to make this a tradition. My parents live in a gated neighborhood, so the number of kids isn't overwhelming. But, the families go ALL out for Halloween. It's the perfect place!
We all (except for my mom-- poor baby had the flu) loaded up on a huge trailer and spent the night bouncing from house to house. Alex had the best time. She racked in some serious loot. Alex loved being Cinderella and my favorite part of the evening was watching "Prince Daddy" put on her glass slippers. Too cute! Carson had a great time too, and as usual was just along for the ride. He was such a trooper. He hung in until 10:30 without a single fuss. I do believe he is too good to be true. It was an awesome night for everyone.
