Alton learned how to turn on the TV two weeks ago. Since he learned how to turn it on, he watches it. Eeek! He loves the Shrek movies and the Toy Story movies. He didn't care for Cars though, which odd. But my guess is that it is because there aren't any people or animals. He LOVES Donkey in the Shrek movies and will just laugh and laugh at Donkey.
I guess collecting Disney movies for the last 10 years will finally payoff now!
I know it's totally silly, but I thought this was kind of cool. :) Go here.
So, bad mommy! I never posted pictures of Alton trick or treating.
Here is Alton with his two cousins, John John and Elayna. Trying to get all three kids to look at the camera was IMPOSSIBLE. We started the evening out here, and dined on El Pollo Loco's finest. My Grandmother is a creature of habit.
Then we went Trick or Treating at Grandma Vicki's house. Grandma Vicki's dog Noel, has tasty toys.
At least Alton thought so anyway.
Here Alton is trick or treating with Daddy. He did not "get" it. But there was one house that he really liked, (which is odd, because it is planned community and they all look the same) and he kept going back to that neighbor's house.
Daddy had to broadcast the football game that night, and he was late because of his trick or treating duties. His co-host made sure to announce that on air when Travis got to the game.
A little side note; see the green bowl in the right side of the picture? That is the same Tupperware bowl my parents made my sister, brothers and me dump our Halloween candy into when I was kid. They said it was so that the four of us would share our candy, and not make ourselves sick eating it all at once. In reality, this enabled them to cherry pick the mini snickers, reese's peanut butter cups and special darks after we went to bed. Mom, you can still have my special darks, I will send them to you.
Alton's trick or treating highlight? Meeting Oprah. Seriously, Oprah!
The neighbor's dog Oprah. Decked out in her Petco bumblebee costume.
The end of a long satisfying night of begging from Grandma's neighbors.
"Mommy, where did my Reese's peanut butter cups go?"
"Mommy?"
Alton has FINALLY learned the sign for "all done"! But here is a video with the sign and the pointing to the belly button. :)
Alton learned how to sign "please". It is the cutest thing! He still won't use the sign for all done, but when he is done eating, Alton now lifts his shirt and points to his belly button, or Bee-bo. It is so stinking cute! I am going to try to get it on video at dinner tonight.
So I decided that I needed to take back my family blog and return the focus to Alton and being his mommy. All of my monthly desktops and other freebies are going to be on my new Digi-scrapping blog:
Graham Like the Cracker!
I moved the most recent posts already, and I will slowly be moving the others. :)
Charmaine started me digi-scrapping at the end of July. And today is my first day as a member of the Creative Team for Amber and Stolen Moments. I am so excited!
The layout below is from the new kit, He's Late For Class. I have to say I enjoy the first aspect of being on a creative team, I can get a whole new kit in one day. :)
I took Alton to the Long Beach Aquarium with our friends from church, Dina and her daugher Janelle. Alton loved the aquarium and would say, "Fishy! Fishy!" at each new tank.
