October Happenings

We've had a great October, and we loved all that it brought for our family! We enjoyed the cooler temps by breaking out the warm footed jammies! I love my little girl in cute footed pj's! They're just so comfy, cozy, and cute :)

Even though McKinley is NOT a fan of wearing jackets! I have to make her wear one by telling her we'll go home if she takes it off! I'm a mean Mom, I won't let my daughter freeze :)

We also enjoyed playing outside in the fallen leaves!

 We got ready for Halloween by trying on costumes!

 

We played with Halloween magnets on the fridge, and made a picture with the fallen leaves from outside!

McKinley's hair keeps getting longer and longer! And it got a little crazy this month, especially her bangs!

So Daddy cut her bangs! He did a good job, and her hair looks much, much better now!

We of course watched lots of Texas and Nebraska football! McKinley knows how to say, "Go 'uckers" (go huskers) and "hook 'em horns!" She also thinks watching football is fun and when she sees it on the TV she says, "Daddy's show!" When she watches football she screams at the TV, "Go, Go, Go, Go, Go!" And she claps and screams and cheers when everyone else does. She's a fun football watching buddy!

McKinley and I had a fun mommy-daughter date and went and got lunch together! She's a fun lunch date :)

We went and checked out the newly renovated Children's Museum! They had a bunch of neat new areas that McKinley loved playing in! Her 2 favorite places to go at the museum are the grocery store to "go shopping!" and the doctor's office to play with the babies! She recently started calling all babies "baby seester" (sister). I'm not quite sure where she got this from, but maybe she's trying to tell us something :)

 

 

We've also been enjoying going to story time at the library! I've been taking her off and on since she was about a year old, and just recently has she finally started sitting and listening to the story and singing and doing all the actions to the songs! It's so cute and she loves it! Her favorite part is the bubbles! She always asks to go to the "bibrary"!

 One Saturday afternoon as we were out running errands, McKinley saw a Foofa (a Yo Gabba Gabba character) doll in one of those stuffed animal claw machines that she really wanted! Travis being the expert that he is at those games won it for her in only 2 tries! She was so happy, and said, "Yay, Daddy! Daddy got it! Nice Daddy!"

The funny thing is, the next Saturday when we were out running errands at a different store, McKinley saw a Muno doll (another Yo Gabba Gabba character) in a claw machine. So Travis tried again and in 2 tries he won her the Muno doll too! $2 for 2 Yo Gabba Gabba stuffed animals is not a bad deal! McKinley is lucky to have a Dad that's so good at those games! She loves both her Foofa and Muno dolls and sleeps with them every night! She even wanted Muno to sit by her and watch her show with her one morning.

We had a fun October, of course with all the Halloween festivities to end a great month! That will be in the next post :)
