Monkey see, Monkey Do

I think Rylan has taken being a monkey for Halloween to a whole new level. He is climbing onto everything, but we are usually right there to prevent it. Well, yesterday I was getting ready for our weekly trek to Wal-Mart. Cory was hunting so it would be just Rylan and I. I put on Mickey Mouse and went to put on my makeup. It soon was too quiet so I knew something was up. I looked in the living room and he was no longer where I'd left him. I scanned the room but wasn't looking up. I soon heard a little voice say "Hi" and there was Rylan chilling out on top of the kitchen table going through my purse!!! Somehow he'd shimmied up the chair (our table is a pub table) and crawled all the way across to dig through my purse...ugh I think he's turning into Evel Kenievel. Luckily, he'd dug the camera out of my purse already so I could document the heart attack he gave me:)

I've got nothing!

I try to post something every week, but this week I got nothin'! Rylan amazes me everyday by doing something new. His latest is "Shoo Fly" any type of insect that he sees (in a book or real) gets swatted at and he says shoo fly. So funny! He is getting so big! He is also obsessed with belly buttons (his, ours, complete strangers, it doesn't matter). This is fine till were at Wal-Mart and he wants to see my bellybutton...oh well!

Trick or Treat

We had such a fun Halloween; here is a small recap. (Sadly, I didn't take any pictures of the actual trick or treating.) We took Rylan to a church carnival first. He enjoyed seeing all the kids dressed up and walking around, but was to small to play the games. We soon went home with our friends that had brought their kiddos over (I actually think it was more for the guys to drink beer and watch UT play), but they said it was so the kids could trick or treat together. When it finally was dark we pillaged the neighborhood of candy. It didn't take Rylan long to get the hang of trick or treating. His only problem was that he either wanted to go inside the people's house or give them candy instead. We only walked about two blocks but our buckets runeth over so we decided to head home. Rylan had such a great time running and playing. It was almost 11 (gasp) before that child went to bed and no he didn't even have any candy. You'd think after all the days activities and staying up so late that Rylan would conk out. But no Momma had to pay for all that fun with a little boy that decided to cry out every two hours. Ughh...but I was rewarded with a three hour nap the next day.
