Happy Halloween

So we went old school for Halloween. Tommy and Kate's costumes were home made. A little electrical tape, a yellow towel, a couple of pipe cleaners, a cape and BAM - you have a bumble bee and a super hero.

We did not have plans for Tommy to wear a "super crown", but after we put an antenna on Kate, Tommy had to have some head gear.
The kids had a costume parade at daycare. It was great to see all the kids in their costumes. Not sure what Tommy is saying here, but it was hilarious watching him have a conversation with his buddy. It was just a bunch of jibberish, but they seem to understand each other.

Tommy and I carved pumpkins after the parade. I thought Tommy would be in to cleaning out the insides, but he wanted nothing to do with it.

Check out the product of our work.

Pumpkin Picking

Hmmmm...which one should we get??

This is a tough decision....
Let's test them out to see how sturdy they are.


This is it!! The perfect one!

Lots Going On!

We have had a lot going on lately!
Kate is finally big enough for her bumbo seat!



Tommy broke into the sugar bowl. I walked into the kitchen and found him with two fistfuls of sugar...eating it raw. It's hard to see all the sugar in this picture, but trust me... it's there!


Coco and Papi came to visit!




Kate started solid foods! As you can see...she was NOT a fan. She is now starting to get the hang of it...thank goodness. Mommy is hoping that means she will start sleeping through the night again!


Tommy hanging out with his best bud, Jonah.


Tommy has moved into his "big boy bed". For the most part, this is a good thing. It can be challenging, however, to get him to stay in his bed for naptime or bedtime, but once he falls asleep, he usually sleeps through the night in his bed. He LOVES his big boy bed.


Tommy found Mommy's make-up drawer. He came into my room the other morning and said, "Look Mommy! Pretty eyes!" By the way....it is not easy to get mascara off of a two year old.


Joe had class this weekend, so I ventured down to the Cape with the kids to visit Coco and Papi.

Tommy had a blast playing in the ocean!








This picture was taken right after Coco rescued Tommy after he was knocked down by a huge wave. If you see him in the near future, ask him about it. He loves telling people about how he "fell down in the ocean".



It rained most of the time we were there, so Coco took Tommy out walking in the rain.


My babies before bed....Tommy says, "Mommy, I hold Kate's hand for bed." So cute!
