Kiya's Halloween Assignments

I was going to post this with my last post but it was late and I was kinda tired. The same evening that Kiya told us what she wanted to be for Halloween she gave out a few assignments for costumes.
Nonna you are to be a ghost. Poppy you are to be a dragon. Ryan is to be a dragon pirate. Brekken is to be a caterpillar and I am to be an ariel pirate.

You'll Never Guess

Kiya told us what she wanted to be for Halloween today. We had already decided that we would all be the same thing and we had narrowed it down to 2 choices. Kiya does not have the same idea as her parents. She told us what she wanted to be and we had to go with it because it was just so cute how she asked and how excited she got about it. So we thought it would be a fun surprise and for everyone to guess. Here is a clue.
It has something to do with adventures.
Leave a comment with your guess.

Stud Baby

I took this picture a couple of weeks ago. I think it is such a cute picture of him. I also think his little mohawk is so cute. He is so much fun and such a sweet baby.

So apparently Sunday was Backwards Sunday. Ryan must have got the memo and forgot to share with me. I have to give him such a hard time for this one. Sunday evening I went to a Fireside. He had the kids, got Kiya into bed and Brekken ready for bed. Good job Ryan! He did however manage to put Brekken's pj's on BACKWARDS. I guess that the funniest part for me is the fact that you can't really mistake the front from the back (see pictures for evidence.) Brekken was so tired that I just left him in his backwards state and put him to bed, then I had to take pictures in the morning when he woke up. TEE HEE! Now every time that Ryan is putting clothes on he hears " Make sure that you put the tag and snaps in the front and the picture on the back."

First Day of "School"

Tuesday brought us a big day!! It was Kiya's first day of Mothers Day Out. We also refer to this as school. She gets to play and learn new things. She was so excited about going and she did great when I dropped her off. She was ready for this new adventure. She likens herself to daddy. "I get to go to school just like daddy to be a dentist." Soo Cute!

All ready for school.

She got a special princess shirt for her first day.

And of course her backpack had to be pink.

She had so much fun at school, and when she got home we put all of her papers in her special school folders. (Nonna don't be surprised if you get copies of these)

Weird and Wonderful

Kiya had her first day of Mothers Day Out Program on Tuesday. It was so weird not having her here. I was able to drop her off then come home and put Brekken down for a real nap. (that means in his crib for longer than an hour) He slept for two hours. He usually gets woken up by Kiya playing. While he was sleeping I was able to scour our master bathroom, which sadly to say is usually the place that gets left behind when we don't have time to clean it all. It was in much need of a clean. It was so nice to be able to get it clean without having to worry about the kids and the cleaning products and all of the wonderful interuptions that mommies usually have. I bet it would have taken me 4-5 hours if I had done it with the kiddos around. Anyway, when Brekken woke up we had some "lunch" and then hung out and played. Nice to have some one on one time. I took some pictures of Brekken playing on the floor and practicing his crawling. He is such a cute little guy, and he is getting so big.

Brekken on Four

Proof that there is hope for us to have Brekken crawl. Kiya skipped crawling and moved from sitting to pulling herself up on furniture and crusing. Brekken does like to pull himself up on furniture and can move around it a little bit but he may just crawl too.
