Mallory takes on Chuck E. Cheese!

The other day Mallory and I went to Chuck E. Cheese. She was absolutely crazy and was jumping on the couch and running around the house getting into everything! I decided she needed to go somewhere she could run and get all that energy out... so we went to see Chuck! I had a ton of coins that I hadn't used yet and Ryan's fiance is a manager there so we got to eat free pizza! We didn't spend a dime! It was great. We spent about 2 hours there.

She carried her own tickets

Giving Cuck a high five

OCTOBER!

A lot has happened since my last post. This semester is really difficult for me to find any time to do anything other than study, take care of Mal, clean, and sometimes relax a little. Today we had tornado warnings so my professor canceled class. I thought this was a great time to fill everyone in and post a few pictures.

Mallory has really become quite the character. She is the smallest in her daycare class, but has the biggest voice! She loves to play with the other kids. She is getting a little sassier, but I guess she just takes after me. She is really good at saying "NO!" She has a special little cubby she sleeps in at daycare during nap time. Her teacher said she gets distracted and won't go to sleep if she is out in the open with the other kids. I had her take a picture of her at nap time for me. It's so precious!


She absolutely loves pretending she can do big girl stuff. She always takes my Dr. Peppers from the fridge and pretends to drink them. It is really funny!

She also enjoys helping me by putting things away, taking stuff to other people, and carrying things for me. She sits in my computer chair and giggles when she bangs on the computer. She also loves to push her babies around in her baby stroller. She likes to help my dad pick up walnuts in his backyard, and has to see the chickens every time she goes over to their house!

We went to get pumpkins from a pumpkin patch this year. We went to Honeysuckle Hill Farms. Mallory picked out her own pumpkin and got to pet all kinds of farm animals. We didn't stay very long because it was just so hot and she was getting tired, but it was really fun! We're going to wait until she is a little older and can enjoy it better to take her to another pumpkin patch.

Here is Mallory's signature smile!

Mallory is trying to be a big helper!

We carved the pumpkins yesterday and Mallory helped pick out the seeds so my dad could roast them in the oven. She was actually really good at it and didn't seem to mind the pumpkin goo. She carried the bowl of seeds around like it was her job to collect the seeds from us. She was too funny!

We took pretty fall pictures this weekend.

She just had to have that Cheezit!

She pushes her wheel barrow around the yard pretending she's doing yard work. She is always doing something!
