trick-or-treat

Last night we hit the streets of Klahanie for some Trick or Treating fun!

After last year (and the year before, and the year before that) I promised I would stop dressing us up as a family, and I've gotta say, it was so relaxing to sit this year out.

Abigail went as a cat (her fav!) and George was as a puppy.



Yesterday morning I volunteered at Abigail's school which was a lot of fun.  I got to hang out with her for a morning of trick or treating, playing games, eating cookies, and making crafts for their classroom Halloween party.

She had a blast!  Albeit tired at some points...



She's the baby of the group; the youngest in her class

Tired...

But happy!

Making a boo cup and scaring another Mom  :)

Eating game pieces

"Now, raise your hand if you did not get BINGO..."  :)

Abigail's BFF, Veronica!

After school Abigail took a 4 hour nap and woke-up ready to party (telling her that Baby Coralie was downstairs popped her out of bed in a flash!)

Johanna, Danielle, Steph, Graeme, Brogan, and Coralie came over and we had so much fun running around the neighborhood collecting candy and jumping on the couch.

(kids only on that last part) :)

Poor George is in the thick of breaking molars and went to bed early, but he had a good time riding in the stroller enjoying the cool (dry!) evening.

He wouldn't, however, tolerate his puppy hat!













After hitting about 20 homes (they did pretty good for their ages!) it was time to head back for pizza and couch jumping!

(Note the couch cushions in the pictures below)   :)




This year was the most fun yet!

I'm loving Abigail as a 3 year old; constantly engaging, questioning, and excited for new adventures.

As with all things kids and parenting, these moments will only get sweeter with time.



I hope everyone had a fun Halloween this year!

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day.  This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love.  Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day.  Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ).  You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...

five months

Happy #5, Benny Boy! You have grown up so much this past month, and in the sweetest ways possible.  You adore a good tickle or friendly face and can't seem to soak in the world around you enough; every time I look at you, your eyes are quickly scanning the room, working hard to put all the pieces together. A smart little guy, you are  :) This month I moved you to the nursery.  It was becoming increasingly difficult to put Abigail and George to bed at night, but putting them together in a room has made bedtime simple - they love being together.  As such, you now have your own room!  It's so sweet being back in a nursery with a little one.  Since George was in our bedroom until he was 5 months, then living at Gma and Gpa's for another 6 months, he wasn't in his own room until his first birthday.  So, in many ways, having you in a nursery reminds me so much of my first time around the Motherhood block, and many nights it fills me with such joy just...
