T-R-O-U-B-L-E

These days, our little Maxy is trouble.  I thought he was into everything before, but that was just a glimpse into what we are faced with these days.  He is no doubt an explorer, interested in everything and very entertained by unearthing every drawer and cabinet he can reach and get his hands on.  Of course, since it keeps him occupied, I more often than not let him go about his business while watching, laughing and only getting slightly annoyed that I need to put everything back for the hundredth time!

Life is but a treat!

This morning Carmen was in a singing mood.  She kept asking me to choose a song for her to sing.  My options were somewhat limited and when I almost exhausted them all, I came up with 'row, row, row your boat.'  She promptly began singing:

Row, row, row your boat

gently down the street

merrily, merrily, merrily,

life is but a treat!

 

I think I like her version better!

Max, on the move

Max was quick to take to walking and starting cruising around on his two big boy feet over a month ago.  He now uses those sturdy legs to run, usually away from us when we are trying to change his diaper or get him dressed.  He is fast, not always stable and falls a lot but is darn cute as he teeters back and forth.  You can't help but smile.

Max likes to take things from his big sister and then flee the scene.  This time he is caught.  It's no wonder Carmen still wants to put all her things up high so Max can't get them! 

Trick-or-Treating Fun

Happy Halloween to you...

Halloween Festivities

Today we got warmed up for Halloween.  Carmen and I made tasty witches hats.  She perfected unwrapping Hershey kisses and carefully placing them in the middle of colored frosting.  Easiest kid-friend-treat ever! Of course, her favorite part was sampling them.

 

 We then headed over to good friends for dinner, pumpkin carving and lots and lots of Halloween fun and surprises.

 

 

 

   

 

 

Happy Birthday to the best Daddy in the whole-wide world!
