halloween 2010.

after some serious bribing and coaxing we finally got MaryRyan to get into her piggy costume. after she got it on she loved it..well kind of.

making play dough

MaryRyan and her friends made play dough today at school. MR is really into helping us cook these days. Or I should say helping Brian cook. She loves to sit on the counter and watch, stir and do whatever she can to get her hands in it. Hopefully she'll take after Brian in that regard. I tried to cook dinner the other night and we almost had the fire department at our house. Oops. I can make a mean peanut butter and jelly though!

new 'do

some shots of her fancy new haircut.

first haircut

finally she gets her first haircut! thank GOD for dora and cookies. she was not into haircut deal at all. but as soon as she saw that she could watch dora while getting her hair done she relaxed and could care less that her hair was getting snipped. they had these cute little stools for them to sit in but she wanted nothing to do with them. maybe she'll be more into it the next time. i wish they had these kids salons when i was a kid!

cows and goats

we went to a petting zoo on saturday. the cows were maryryan's favorite by far. the smile and excitement on her face when she got to see them up close was priceless.

deep thoughts

what's going on in that little head of hers? i'm going to take a guess.

"hmmmm i wonder what dora and boots are doing right now"

october what?

can't believe it's october already! sorry i haven't posted in awhile. MR has been battling a nasty stomach bug for the last week so she has been 'home sick' from school. she's been having a blast! looks real sick right? she keeps telling us that her tummy hurts which is flat out heartbreaking coming from a 2 year old!

notice that most of these pics she is holding onto her monkey blanket. she doesn't seem to let that go these days.

she is chit chatting away now. she is also started to call me cath. nice. i was giving her a bath and walked out for a sec and she screamed 'CATH'. and out of instinct i answered. i thought that stage came later..like at 16 or 17 years.
