Leo's First Day of Preschool/ Parent's Morning Out

Leo started his "Parent's Morning Out" program at our preschool in October.  It's just one day a week for a little over 2 hours but he LOVES it.  He walks in each day without any hesitation and is so excited each day that he has school!



"When I grow up I want to be BATMAN!"

Their classrooms are right next door to each other- they LOVE that!









Halloween 2015

The kids LOVED Halloween this year!

We had Maya the Mermaid, Batman Leo, and Vera the Ladybug!

I got to visit Leo at school and hear his little class sing a Halloween song!  He was the only kid who stayed in his costume his entire school day!  I wasn't at all surprised... in fact I'm beginning to think Vera thinks Batman may be her brother.

We went to some festivities in my mom's neighborhood.  The kids love using her wagon to get around her neighborhood!

They had an AMAZING free face painter- I was worried the kids would expect me to replicate this for trick-or-treating!

Leo wanted a "Batman Pumpkin" so we used a paint resist technique (thank you Pinterest) and it worked really well!


Maya wanted a "Rainbow Stripe Pumpkin"



I just love that Dexter jumped up to photobomb this picture and was the focus!





Dave and I both took the kids around the neighborhood, so we set up a candy table toward the end of the driveway to save the neighbors from the long walk down to our house! 

Vera is (was) 4 Months Old

Yet again I'm posting the update closer to the next month!  However, I am actually taking the pictures on her actual month birthdays so I'm going to give myself a bit of a pat on the back for that one with number 3!


Vera this month you...

  • continued to be a happy easy going baby
  • started tolerating tummy time for a little bit longer but still dislike it
  • started sitting up in your Sit me Up and Bumbo seat- you like both as long as things are going on around you 
  • continued to adore your sister and brother
  • continued to laugh a lot
  • continued to be a great sleeper and sleep through the night or get up once
  •  still seem to have no desire to roll over
  • started sleeping in your Magic Merlin Sleep Suit rather than a swaddle blanket
  • continued to spit up a TON
  • started refusing bottles... you really only see you get mad when we push this on you
  • seem to have hazel eyes- we're curious to see if they stay this way!
  • weigh 15 lbs 15 oz  (93%) and are 24.5" tall (63%) and have a head circumference of 16.75" (88%)- you are BIG and oh so cuddly!

I call you my "marshmallow baby" when you wear this!
