'Helping' Daddy Clean up the leaves :)

Halloween

We went trick or treating last night and Kaelin had a blast - and got a lot of candy!!! She did inform one neighbor that her sidewalk was broke, and they needed to fix it (the concrete had a crack). Other than that she just loved to run from house to house. Here are a few more pictures of the girls in their costumes.

Kaelin is learning early - no pictures please!

The Loot!

Edible Playdough

So yesterday Kaelin was getting antsy while waiting for Trick or Treat time - so we made edible playdough (dry milk, honey and peanut butter). She loved it! I am pretty sure she had more fun eating it and the decorations than actually playing with it!

3 months!

Yesterday Hailey turned 3 months old! It is amazing to me how fast the time passes! At one moment she reminds me of Kaelin at that age -and the next she has her own little laughing personality (Kaelin was not a giggler). She is weighing about 13 lbs, and appears to be over 24 inches long (according to my measurments)!

In the afternoon Kaelin decided it was naptime - for her, Hailey and Penguin! So cute - here's a picture!

Snow!

Today we got our first snow! Kaelin's response as she watched out the window was, " Snow is coming down on my grass. Mommy will fix it later, in a little bit." Not sure how I am going to fix this!

Seagulls

Let me start by saying - I love my husband so much! He is such a good provider for our family, and a wonderful hands-on dad! There are often nights he walks in the door after work, looks at my face and sees the look (the one that says I've been trapped inside all day with crabby kids). He is always willing to jump right in and/or take over for a bit!

That being said - I don't know how I feel about him teaching Kaelin to terrorize animals! A few days ago we took Kaelin to the park, followed by a dinner of chicken nuggets. There was a peaceful gathering of seagulls finishing someone's leftovers in the parking lot. Justin's first thought was to jump out of the car, grab Kaelin, and run straight for them!

They both thought it was a blast- but I don't think the seagulls agreed!

Pumpkin Carving

Last night we finally carved our pumpkins! As some of you know this was a victory for our family - because our first set of pumpkins were smashed on the sidewalk a few weeks ago. (Thank you Papa Tom and Grandma Barb for the new pumpkins!).

Kaelin helped pull the goo out after a while - at first she said it was yucky and there was poop in her pumpkin! Then she dug in and of course eventually tried to eat it!
Justin did all of the carving while I did the seed roasting! Yummy! Hopefully these pumpkins make it through Halloween!
