Brainwashed

Dad has this child brainwashed already.  She loves to sit and "read" his Sports Illustrated magazines.  She will sit with it for quite sometime.

Christmas Tree

Ryleigh is at a fun age where she gets excited to see Christmas decorations.  Every time we go to the store she is quick to point them all out.  I put up decorations Friday afternoon while she was taking a nap.  It was so fun to see her recognize something new that I had put up every few minutes.

We put up our tree last night.  She was excited to put on the first ornament but after that she was more interested in playing with the ornament hangers than helping put on the actual ornaments.

Lights

We went this weekend to Winter Wonderland to check out the town's Christmas lights.  It was pretty cold but enjoyable.  They had a pretty good display and Ryleigh loved them.

New Shoes?

You would think Ryleigh had a new pair of shoes on. Nope, just stomping around like she has never worn them before even though she wears them everyday.

"Baaa"

Our ward Trunk or Treat was tonight so I took Ryleigh. She really got into it. She wanted to eat the first piece that was put in her bucket right away. I put it back in her bucket and we continued on. At every trunk, she would reach her hand out, they would give her the candy and she would put it right into her bucket. She carried her bucket the whole time. Everyone thought she was so cute in her lamb costume.

She didn't keep the hood on for very long.

On the way home she had her bucket in her lap. I turned around and she had a little tootsie roll opended just a little, taking tiny bites. I pulled over to take the wrapper off so she wouldn't eat it. Oops, I was too late. Tootsie roll was gone and no wrapper in sight.

Miss Independent

Ryleigh decided this weekend she was not a big fan of wearing clothes. Numerous times she was caught taking her clothes off and then would freak out when we tried to put them back on her. Luckily the diaper never came off, although she tried several times. And as I am typing this, Devin is yelling from downstairs that she is trying again:)

While I was at work today, Devin found her trying to put her clothes back on and put Mom's shoes on. She had pulled several clothes out of her drawer and had one arm in a shirt. He didn't get a picture of that, but did get a picture of her trying to put Mom's shoes on.

Please excuse her with no clothes. I just had to share this picture. She just fell out of the shoes.

Pumpkin Carving

Then we carved pumpkins on Sunday evening. Devin got his all cleaned out and said, "Ok, I am done." So I had to carve both pumpkins. Ryleigh had fun playing inside the pumpkin and watched the whole time I was carving it.
