Alyson's Antics of the Day:
I said:
- "I gave you seven stickers on your hand for being such a great Mom and picking me up from school, taking me for a great lunch (dinner) and for taking me to get ice cream... and because I love you."
- "That girl looks like me and moves like me. Her name is Alexa" (while watching my reflection in the window... I even had a conversation with my new "friend").
I did:
- I woke up and spent a little time cuddling with Mommy and Daddy. For some reason we weren't in a hurry this morning and even got to sleep in. It was a special day called Election Day.
- I went to school even though some of the other kids didn't. I had a great day and got a smiley and even got to practice my letter A again.
- Mommy took a picture of the pumpkin pictures on the wall outside of my classroom. They were taken the day of our pumpkin patch time at school.
- Mommy and I went to Habanero for dinner and it was delicious. I discovered that a cheese quesadilla dipped in queso is delicious! I also loved eating Mommy's black beans on my quesadilla.
- After dinner, I decided that we needed dessert, so I asked Mommy to go to Dairy Queen so I could have a chocolate cone. I was being very silly and even made a new "friend" with the "girl" in the window.
- Mommy and I came home and did a little housework. I also rode my scooter in the house, played with the dogs, and colored a picture. Mommy and I built with blocks... I built a princess castle and Mommy built a tower. We also played a game that I call "magic" where we hide an object from one another. We hid the cow rubber duck. It was very fun.
- I drew my thankful picture today and decided to thank God for my family once again.
- Daddy got home just in time to see me being a teacher and reading a book about sea creatures to "my students" in my bedroom.

Alyson's Antics of the Day:
I said:
- "RAWRRR!" (I yelled while my gymnastics class was pretending to be bears... My teacher said I must be an angry bear).
- "Listen. I can whistle like a beaverhog!" (to Mommy and Daddy. It took a little bit before they realized I was talking about a groundhog)
- "Tomorrow night we will learn about sea creatures" (to my stuffed animals after reading them stories).
I did:
- I woke up on my own this morning at 6:30. The time change seems to have made it at least slightly easy to wake up early, at least for today.
- I ate breakfast and got dressed in my cute Hello Kitty dress and tights. I was very cute!
- I had a great day at school today and even got to trace the letter A with my rainbow colors. I also drew Mommy a picture.
- Daddy brought me to surprise Mommy after school today at her work. I had fun running around and of course got free stuff from everyone that thought I was cute. I ended up with two pencils and candy.
- We went to gymnastics class. I've decided to try gymnastics again for a while. This was the first class that Mommy and Daddy didn't have to go onto the gym floor with me, so I had to really pay attention to directions by myself. I did pretty well, after the first bolting to the trampoline instead of going to the warm up room where my class went without me. We did all kinds of activities today... we jumped on the trampoline, worked on somersaults, cartwheels, back bends, the bars, and the balance beams. It was too much fun! I even got a stamp, a coloring page, and a piece of candy when I left.
- After dinner, we relaxed a bit at home and I even talked Mommy into helping me with one of the tattoos I got for Halloween. It was Tinkerbell and she looks great on my leg.
- I decided to draw a picture of our house and the "whole Earth" today in my book to thank God for them.
- At bedtime, I threw my stuffed animals off of the bed and read two books all by myself to them from up on my bed so I could look down at them. I even turned the book around to show them the pictures after reading each page just like a teacher. Mommy says I'm a natural. It's fun pretending to be the teacher.
Alyson's Antics of the Day:
I said:
- "This is my house now since I have shoes in it... I even have cups for snacks" (referring to my Barbie tent that I had set up in the living room).
- "It tastes like the bathroom sink!" (after tasting the first bite of my potato at dinner... I ended up eating the whole thing, other than the first bite).
I did:
- I woke up and Daddy was already awake. He wasn't too happy when he got out of the shower and realized his phone hadn't changed time and he was awake an hour earlier than he had to be. At least he and I had some play time since we were both awake.
- We got dressed and ready for church. I wore a cute denim dress with tights since it was so chilly.
- I decided that I had to draw my thankful picture before going to church. I decided that my family was what I wanted to thank God for today and I drew a great picture of my family. I even wrote my name, but this time wrote the letters from right to left instead of left to right.
- At church, I had fun playing and even got to spend some time downstairs in the nursery. My friend Tori wasn't feeling too well, so she couldn't play with me. I was sad.
- After church and lunch, it was time to come home for a nap. I really needed it!
- I woke up and Mommy had gone grocery shopping without me. I was disappointed since I'm usually her helper. I did help her carry in the groceries though.
- Mommy and I made a spider for a craft. She got it on the Halloween clearance. It was fun to work together to make such a cute and fuzzy friend. I'm just glad he's a nice spider.
- I spent the evening being very silly at the house, galloping like a horse, playing in my tent (house), riding my scooter, and running and screaming.
- I did help Daddy give the dogs a bath.
- I'm excited to go back to school tomorrow. I've missed my friends this weekend.
Alyson's Antics of the Day:
I said:
- "I'm glad I'm invited to the party! I want some cake!" (when sitting next to a birthday party at Chick-fil-A).
I did:
- I woke up just before 8:00 and was happy when Daddy finally decided to get up with me.
- I had waffles for breakfast and watched a little television until Mikey woke up. I put together a puzzle with him and showed him my blocks and toys. He is fun to play with.
- When Mommy woke up, we sat around for a bit, then went to lunch at Chick-fil-A. It was yummy and I loved playing. I was wearing my Mountaineer jersey and sweat pants so others thought I was very cute. I loved that I was number 1!
- Daddy and I took a nap while Mommy was out and after Mikey left. We slept a long time.
- After waking up, I helped Mommy make a dip for chips then we went to Scott and Tammy's house to watch the football game. There was lots of yelling and screaming by people watching the game, but I was more interested in the food, baby, and playing with the dogs.
- After the game, I dressed up in my Elsa costume and went trick-or-treating. I even took my Barbie (also wearing an Elsa costume- thanks Grandma!) with me. It was cold, so I wore a coat and a hat to keep me warmer. I got lots of candy and got to see lots of cool decorations and costumes. One guy commented on my Barbie, saying, "I see you have a small representation of yourself." I read the sign in someone's yard ("BOO!") to Mommy and Daddy, just like I did yesterday when I opened my card. Daddy thinks it is funny that "BOO" is the first word I read.
- After coming home and trying one or two pieces of candy, it was time to relax a bit before bed. I sorted my candy and looked to see what I got. I had a really hard time deciding the one thing I wanted to eat before bed and even looked really sad when trying to decide.
- Mommy told me we were starting a new project tonight. She gave me a book with blank pages and asked me to draw a picture of something that I wanted to thank God for, something I was thankful for. She said I could think of all of the things I have, people in my life, or anything I wanted to say thank you for. After she explained what she wanted me to do, I immediately grabbed my crayon and drew what looked like a person. When Mommy asked me what I was drawing, I told her God. I was thankful for God. She seemed a little surprised by my answer. I then asked her how to write "Thank you" on my paper. I explained to Mommy and Daddy that the dots I drew all around God on the paper was "his magic." She and Daddy were both very proud. I'll continue with another page tomorrow.
- We had a busy and exciting day!
Alyson's Antics of the Day:
I said:
- "I got a boo card!" (when opening the card that was in the package from Grandma and Grandpa... when Mommy asked me why it was a "boo card" I pointed out the letters B-O-O on the card... for some reason, she and Daddy just looked at each other and smiled).
I did:
- I woke up and was tired, but was excited it was Halloween and Donut Friday. I got dressed in my "Forget the Ghosts, Beware of Me!" shirt.
- Before leaving the house, Daddy had me open an envelope that had been delivered yesterday. It was from Grandma and Grandpa. After reading the card, some of which I read myself, I money, a funny lollipop, and an Elsa dress for my Barbie. I was so excited!
- Mommy came to school just in time to get me dressed for the costume parade. I was one of three Elsas in my class, but Mommy said I was the most beautiful. We walked around the area and went to local businesses. Our teachers loaded up on candy and were nice enough to carry it back for us then divide it up. I ended up with an entire tote bag full of candy to bring home. I was a little whiny and didn't quite understand why I couldn't hold my own candy bucket, but still had lots of fun.
- I gave my painting from yesterday to Ms. MaryBeth who came to visit me at school today. She loved it, even with two holes in the page.
- Daddy picked me up at school and I had gotten a smiley! I got smileys all week and was so proud of myself!
- Daddy took me to McDonalds where I got a Hello Kitty toy. I didn't eat much, but was so happy with the toy.
- I spent the evening with Ms. Sierra since Mommy and Daddy had to work the football game at Mommy's school. Luckily trick or treat is tomorrow in most of our area, so I will still get to dress as Elsa one more time and get even more candy.
- Ms. Sierra gave me a bag of candy and the family gave me a Frozen popcorn bucket. I had already dug into by the time Mommy picked me up.
