I love this picture. I don't know why. But I do. And you should too. So there.

Pumpkin Carving

Kate and Steve helped us carve pumpkins again this year. We had a lot of fun. Here they are having a dance party with their Aunt Kate. I'm guessing it's to "Monster Mash."

The Master at Work

Lily was supervising Steve.

Taking this pumpkin stuff very seriously.

Lily coming up with alternate design plans in case this one didn't pan out. Note her hands.

Putting her own stamp on them.

Who is One Super Efficient Mama?

It's Me! It's Me!

I ordered our holiday cards using a Groupon this year. I saved MAJOR bucks...to the tune of 145 dollars. Thank you very much. The Groupon forced me to take pics early. Here are some outtakes that did not make the cut.

PS We are so lucky. Look at these kids.

Conversation of the Morning...

Me: Lily, what are you singing?
Lil: You know. That song from the swamp movie.
Me: The swamp movie? What's the swamp movie?
Lil: Where the princess turns into a swamp.

Happy 2 Months Birthday Charlie!

Charlie is 2 months old. He is a really sweet baby. God bless you Miracle Blanket. He is sleeping beautifully. He gets up once a night. And, if you had told me that would be possible a few weeks ago I would have laughed. He has started smiling in reaction to our voices and particularly loves to smile at his siblings. He's also doing better with holding his head up. Now, if we could only shake the germs in this household. He's been pretty congested the last couple days. :(

Look at that sweet little mouth!

And those lashes.

Happy 3rd Birthday Lillian P.!

Lily is three years old today. She is growing up much too quickly. I love our sweet, smart, feisty, loving girl. Her and Jack are such pals. I hope it always stays that way. She is very maternal toward her baby brother. She pats his back and sings to him.

Happy birthday Lillian P!

Lily's Preschool Halloween

We left Lily's Minnie ears at Dave's work so she ended up being a doctor for her school parade. It was kind of funny actually...amidst the princesses and pirates, was our girl in scrubs.
