So Sweet!

Is there anything sweeter than freshly bathed babies in snuggly winter pajamas? I just don't think there is! Sarah is now starting to love books. For the longest time she was too squirmy & busy to sit still and look at books. But, now she loves to be read too. And just to make this bedtime routine a little cuter, Adam likes to be the one to read to her. I know! So sweet! He can recite the whole book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear. His teacher mommy is very proud. It's just the cutest thing to hear him reading! And to his sister! And in their snuggly pj's! TOO CUTE!

Cute Messy Faces

Tonight we had "gespetti" for dinner! It was messy as always. Sarah liked it so much, she licked her plate when it was gone. :)

Funny boy

Here's a piece of last night's conversation with Adam while he was trying to delay bedtime...

"Mom, can I go to a party? By myself?
I can drive there, when I get bigger.
After I sleep I'm going to grow bigger.
It's for my friend Chase. (I don't even think he has a friend, Chase, maybe at school, but I don't think so).
He's having a birthday and cake. It's at Jason's deli.
If any bad guys come, they might throw the cake in the water.
Then we'd have to make him a new one, okay Mom?
He likes chocolate. Do you know how to make chocolate cake?"

He's so funny. The sad thing is, he's growing up so fast. It won't be long and he really will be asking me if he can go to parties by himself & drive himself there!

Our Lazy Weekend

I got some comfy new pj's & have spent most of the weekend in them. Jacob & I both have today off, so we are still in weekend mode around here. We've been so lazy! It's been so nice! Of course the bad news is, if you look around the house, you can see we've done nothing all weekend!

The Rockstar Brother

Here's Adam (playing the golf club) singing his color songs that he's learning at school. In case you can't understand him he's spelling "O-R-A-Angie-E" and "R-D-D, red, R-D-D, red, I can spell red!" He is so entertaining!

My Walking Girl

Sarah is really walking everywhere now. Over the last week or so, she has just taken off. Now if she starts to crawl, she quickly realizes what she's doing & stands up & starts walking. She was so proud of herself showing off her new skill at school. Here are a few short videos I got of her walking. In the back you will notice the silly brother trying on Jacob's clothes (oh, and just ignore the laundry pile!) :)

Our Fun Halloween

We had fun celebrating Halloween. We had ghost toast for breakfast & mini pumpkin pizzas for lunch. My mom made a cute Frankenstein cake. We painted our pumpkins & read lots of Halloween books. Finally it was time for Spiderman & Minnie Mouse to get dressed. There was a party at our neighborhood park. We went to that & played a few games there. Then we went to Grandma & Papa's to trick-or-treat and to see Sammy, who was also Spiderman. Then we went to Trunk or Treat at our church. All of the trunks were so cute with different themed decorations & games. The kids had fun & of course got lots of candy! Happy Halloween!
