Halloween Party

This past weekend Bryan's cousins hosted their annual Halloween Party. We had to go of course...we love spending time with them. Claire was a pumpkin. Bryan was a young Donald Trump (He even mastered his eye squint and his pushed out lips). I was a gangsta...aka a "wigger" according to Bryan. (Thanks to my nephew I had some great bling bling and a grill to wear.) Bryan and I tied for the most original costume prize. We had a great time.

Early Christmas

Claire got this as an early Christmas present...For those of you who don't know Claire loves to slide. Well in this video you can see the electronic basketball hoop in the back ground...well she would straddle the slanted bar and slide down. We decided to get her a real slide since it was obvious she loved to slide. Well now Claire says..."Thanks Grandma Lois...I love it!!"

Duck Races

This past weekend we went to the duck races. Claire loved it the entire time she called it the "lucky duckies". She still talks about going to see the "lucky duckies". Don told us that there were about 45 thousand ducks dropped into the water. I thought it was pretty cool to see. So I thought I'd share it with all of you.

Curls

Poor Claire she has hair similar to her mom. It won't hold curls no matter what we try. If you have suggestions...we'd love them. As you can tell we have tried hot curlers. The curls make her look so grown up and oh so cute (although she's my kid so she is always...almost always cute to me). Here is one of her hair after the curlers have been taken out. Here is the problem....her hair only stays curled for about ten minutes. I have used hairspray and that makes it last for maybe fifteen minutes...Any suggestions?
