Halloween
We started off the week by going to Owen's school for his Halloween party. Aliya loved being a big kid and hanging out with her older brother. Owen made a paper pumpkin, decorated a Halloween bag, decorated a cookie, and went trick-or-treating around the school.
We carved pumpkins the night before Halloween. Aliya liked spreading the seeds around on the table and Owen drew his own pumpkin face which Dave carved.
Thankfully the snowstorm ended two days before Halloween and it got warm enough to melt a lot of the snow. Neither kid needed a jacket which is always good. Owen was Superman and Aliya was Iridessa, one of Tinker Bell's friends. Grandma Panesi made Aliya's outfit not once, but twice due to a mailing mix-up (thanks Grandma for making another costume)!

Hair!
Aliya has really been fighting me lately with doing her hair. So, today while Owen and Dave were at a birthday party, I put in Elmo's World and tried. Aliya doesn't really watch TV, but I remember that Elmo was the one that Owen would watch. I placed her in her Dora chair and began. I sprayed with water and detangler and began brushing. She didn't fight too much, so I decided to put her hair in four ponies instead of one. She was being so good that I decided to braid her hair. Here are the results!

Superman!
Owen LOVES jumping off the stairs. So, after I sewed his costume, he wanted to fly like Superman . . .

Pumpkin Patch
On Saturday we went to the Pumpkin Patch. It was delayed a weekend due to the weather and it ended up being a perfect day. Owen and Aliya had a great time picking out pumpkins. Owen really enjoyed the carnival area. Next year will be a lot of fun because Aliya will be old enough to participate in more things.

A Twister, a Twister!
Yesterday we had front row seats to a tornado. At about 1:30 we put
the kids down for quite time and a nap. 15 minutes later heavy hail
started to come and Megan mentioned that she had seen paper or debris
flying high up in the sky. At about that time we heard the tornado
siren go off, so we did what everybody would do. We ran to the
upstairs windows to see if we could see a tornado.
We then got Owen out of his room so he could watch hail and the people
outside scrabbling to cover their cars. Megan then went into the
computer room to see what news she could find on the internet. As
soon as she walked into the east facing room she saw the funnel cloud.
Megan quickly grabbed Aliya and started heading downstairs. I, of
course, quickly ran to the window to see the tornado for myself, then
grabbed Owen and Bailey (the dog) and headed downstairs.
Owen was giggling the entire time and Aliya just look confused. In
the end we were in no real danger, Owen had assured us that he would
take down the tornado with a light saber, that and it was east of our
house and heading further east. We stayed in the basement for just a
few minutes before heading back up to take some pictures and watch the
rest of the storm. It did touch down a few miles east and damaged the Southlands mall.
