Happy Halloween!

I bought Allison a Tinkerbell costume.  She didn't care for it.  We also didn't do anything due to the fact she can't walk.  Brandon is out of town, and I'm not strong enough to carry her around.  Anyway, she was cute anyway in her outfit.

 I gave her candy as a prop for pictures.  Little did I know that she would devour the Reese's.  She ate half the wrapper before I could get the candy out of it.  It was her 1st time to have chocolate, and she loved it!

Pumpkin Patch

Allison had a blast picking out a pumpkin.

Our house!

We're done unpacking but still need to organize and put up some decorations.

Our City Park

One great thing about Sumter is the city park.  It called Swan Iris Lake Park.  The title says it all.  It has 12+ species of swan and over 20 species of iris.  Unfortuantely, I'll have to wait until spring to see all the irises.  Here are some pictures of the park.  There is also a nice playground, but we didn't go there today.

Last one is of Allison at the end of one of the many bridges on the walking trail.

What to Do in a Hotel for 2 week plus weeks with a Baby

We go to the gym and climb on the equipment.

We watch A LOT of tv.

We play with all of Mommy's and Daddy's clothes and unpack and repack the suitcases everyday.

We also play with the dirty laundry and the basket.

Besides all this fun, we crawl/walk up and down the hallways and the stairs.  Allison is getting better about walking.  She can now walk holding on to just one of my hands, so I can hold her hand with one and carry the trash bag to the dumpster with the other. :)

We're in Trouble

  Allison apparently loves credit cards and shoes!  When she and I went to the store to buy shoes for the cooler weather, she threw the biggest tantrum when I took these shoes off her feet, along with every pair of shoes she tried on, but these were by far her favorite.  Brandon and I have no idea where she got her love of shopping and apparel from.

Still here

 We are going to be in the hotel for one more week because the military messed up the current residents' orders to Germany.  Luckily, our stuff has been in South Carolina since Sept. 18th (before we even left Texas), so getting our stuff shouldn't be too much of a hassle.  The weather did get cooler here quicker than I expected, so Allison and I have been searching high and low for fall clothes for her.  Even with all the fast food and eating out, I haven't seem to gain any weight, so I can still fit into both pairs of my jeans. That's nice b/c when I was pregnant with Allison, I was almost in maternity clothes by this point.
  Here are some pictures of Allison taking a shower.  Our hotel room is a handicap room, so there is no tub.  Also, we went to the Sumter County Fair today.  Allison enjoyed watching all the people, seeing the animals, and eating her 1st funnel cake.
