Halloween

For Halloween Claire was a ladybug and the cutest bug, if I don't say so myself. At first she didn't like her costume but after a few minutes she didn't mind it at all. Justin flew home from North Carolina Friday night so me and Claire picked him up from the airport with her costume on. We came back to my parents and took Claire around to three of our neighbors so they could see her costume. On Wednesday Claire helped me carve a couple pumpkins which we did on my parents lawn. She mostly followed the dog around and tried eating some pumpkin, which she didn't seem too appetizing. My grandpa Loveland gave Claire a big pumpkin from his garden that we painted and kept on our porch.
Claire is now crawling all over and getting into everything. Her favorite thing to do is pull books off of the bookcase and flip through them. She acts like she is looking in them and when she gets bored with one she pulls another book off. She is even taking a few steps on her own now. I can't believe she will be walking soon! She even tried to help my mom load the dishwasher one night. She looked down and Claire had crawled into the dishwasher.

Justin is in Mississippi for the week doing a special military training where they have to where their chem suits and all they eat are MRI's. Nothing like a dinner in a sack I guess. It will be nice when he is home. He was only home for 24 hours before he left again for the military.
I am busy trying to get school work done and studying for tests. I am wishing this semester was over. I also just signed up for a cake decorating class that is two days a week. I just started but hopefully I can learn how to make a good look cake; that tastes good too.
