Its a hard knock life.

Charlie is 8 weeks, or two months. I guess technically not actually 2 months if your going by the real months but by week count yes...? 4 more days if you guy by that counting. Which way are you suppose to do it by? Anyways I was actually able to get some pictures of her today as she happily laid on the bed and smiled at me. She smiles a ton and its adorable. She has started cooing a little too when I talk to her which is fun. We will be headed to her next doctors appointment next week to see how much she's grown but just holding her she feels like she's growing so quickly! 

So here are some pictures.. they are basically all the same picture with a different smile which I try not to do but this is seriously like the first time she let me just hang out not holding her so its all I have! 

Also I have not forgotten about Olivers 3 year old photos. Which I really need to do some time, although now its pretty ugly and brown outside i'm not sure where to do it. But it will happen. :)













Look what you made me do.

I've had a hard time playing with Oliver since Charlie's been around and so I've been trying to do little activities with him every once in awhile that are focused more on him. During Halloween we made a chocolate house and foam house that we got at Micheals and Oliver really enjoyed it so I thought I'd do something with the left over white chocolate I had in the cupboard. We decorated pretzels and he had us change part of the chocolate orange, which turned out more pinkish, and then we put them in little snack bags for him to eat later. He's started to really like opening the fridge himself and look for snacks. It's cute. So we put them in there. 





Spiders in your hair.

Here's a late Halloween post.

I tired to go all out with Halloween themed food and made pumpkin shaped pancakes colored orange with green stems, spider pbjs with witch broom sticks and oranges with pumpkin faces, and then classic mummy hotdogs for dinner.

We went trick or treating at Mall of America. Oliver enjoyed it and I enjoyed it being warm, but candy was pretty slim as there were tons and tons of kids there. Oliver dressed up as a Knight which he bought from the dollar store. He had wanted to be a hamster but we couldn't find anything and I should have been a better mom and put something together earlier but I kept thinking he would change his mind and not want to be a hamster.. but he never did. But it did like the idea of a bad guy knight. So thats what he ended up being.

And then the last two pictures is from Oliver and I carving our cat pumpkin. I let him poke it and do whatever with the knife and he seemed to enjoy that.
