Presents, part one
Mallory got an early present from our good friends last week – a Fancy Nancy game! It’s perfect because it doesn’t require any reading and she is great at knowing when it’s her turn, etc; I thought we’d have some problems with her not wanting to follow the rules of the game but we haven’t had any issues. We played it the other night for the first time and she just LOVES it.
And here is Carson completely unimpressed with Mallory’s new game:
Carson’s new thing is trying to pull up on EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME. If I’m on the floor, …
Halloween – 2009
Ok, it’s late and I should be asleep but I need to share these pictures from Halloween and tell you the story. If I don’t do it tonight, I’ll not get it up until after the weekend, and then these pictures will get buried in the avalanche of Mallory’s birthday pictures :-)
First off – Mallory & her two friends wore their fairy costumes to dance class on Thursday.
I failed to try Mallory’s costume on her until we actually got to dance class – and you can’t see it here when she’s sitting down. So I took this picture later …
Not yet…
Still no pictures from Trick or Treating yet. Should have them tomorrow. I should write up the play-by-play from trick-or-treating just so I don’t forget a single thing. Be sure to check back for that post because it’s hysterical.
In the meantime, I’ll share these pictures from yesterday.
I think the picture of Mallory is a little out of focus but I love the picture too much to not share. :-)
My Little Monkey
I will have trick-or-treat stories & pictures at a later time (I didn’t have my camera battery so I have no pictures, I need to wait for Alli’s mom to send me hers) but I just HAD to share this collage of pictures of my sweet little monkey!
It’s beginning to look like…Halloween!
Rick & I have never carved pumpkins together – even though I think most couples could say that at some point in their courtship they did that sappy romantic activity. But not us.
It took two kids for us to want to make the mess.
Here is our story.
Mallory helped us get the “gunk” out of the pumpkins. She was all about helping except she wouldn’t actually reach in and pull the guts out. These pictures don’t tell the whole story – the pumpkins were basically empty by the time she really got dirty. Carson did enjoy banging on the pumpkins too …
Like sister, like brother
The question on everyone’s mind is “Will Carson have crazy curly hair like Mallory?”
Well, if this picture is an early indication – it’s got potential.
Check out the tuft of hair on top of his head and the fuzzies on the right.
Oy boy.
A Pooped Coop
Cooper got a rare treat today – a long long LONG walk in the woods near our house. We haven’t done this in a while, mostly because I am not a fan of loading him in my car since it means I have to put him in the front seat and I usually like to keep my car spotless so I don’t like his hair & dirt all over the place.
Back before kids, Cooper & I would walk in the woods almost daily – and we met Cathy who has two dogs. I’ve been lucky to meet up with …
Weekend Wrap-up
I am a slacker blogger. I have been lollygagging my way around posting this week – I don’t know quite why, since the mounds of laundry that I have to fold & put away and the messes that exist in my house are no indication that I’ve been spending my time doing anything particularly worthwhile. But I have been enjoying my children and trying to figure out how in the world other moms handle after school/work time if they work until 5p. I am home with my babies by 4.15p every afternoon and I still never sit down until they …
Pretty Girl Pictures (plus one of the Tank)
My friend Jen’s triplets turned one last week and Jen threw them the most fabulous party! Mallory was in heaven with all the snacks and sweets. Here she enjoying her second cupcake of the day…

I got to take pictures of Alli on Saturday too – here are my favorites of the girls (plus an extra of just Mallory)…
Christine & I were a little freaked out that our girls were big enough to actually go for a pony ride!
Best friends…almost three years old.
