As usual Jeff and I have been too busy to think much less update the blog. Since I am home sick today, I thought I would catch everyone up. Let's start with Halloween. Lily decided that her brother and sisters would dress up as piggies. Jeff and I tried to go with a Little Red Riding Hood theme, but our follow through left something to be desired. Lily didn't want to be part of the group even though it was her idea. She wanted to be a witch. The twins and Lawson loved their costumes. The twins would walk around snorting like pigs. It was pretty cute. When they figured out that all they had to do to get candy was say Trick or Treat, it was on. Here are some pictures of Lily and the Twins after their first trick or treat. They are all very excited.
Lawson figured that walking from house to house looked like too much work for him. He knew that all he had to do was look cute and the candy would come to him. So he just chilled in the wagon with our neighbor Judson .
Lily is enjoying school and making new friends. I am still amazed that my 5 year old gets to and from school riding the bus all by herself. I have seen the carpool line at the school though so I am glad that she enjoys riding the bus so much. Her cousin Jack is fascinated by this too. He doesn't understand why Lily gets to ride the bus alone and he doesn't. Especially since he is a few months older. Aunt Mary and Jack had Lily over for a sleepover while my brother was out of town. Lily loves to go over there. Aunt Mary really spoils her and they get to do all the girly stuff Aunt Mary can't do with her boys. While Lily was over there they got to go to Uncle D's house and hang out with him and soon to be Aunt Karissa (Aunt Mary's brother and his fiance). They were going over things that each of them do well and the fact that Lily rides the bus to school by herself was top on the list. I can't believe how big she is already and how quickly time has passed.
As Jeff mentioned in the last blog, the twins are determined to destroy the house piece by piece. Once they accomplish that they will then start on each other. This has been a problem since they were old enough to move. This is when they were about 6 months old.
This time they were fighting over my book. Who knew Eat, Pray, Love could cause such turmoil. Of course as much as they fight they also love each other just as much. The girls have recently discovered that they can get out of their cribs. This means that they are up to no good whenever we think they are sleeping. Usually they get up and play with soap and water in the sink. One time Abby wanted her diaper changed during naptime. So she grabbed, diapers and wipes and climbed into Chloe's crib. Chloe then tried to change Abby's diaper which resulted in poop everywhere. Now that they can crawl out of their cribs this has resulted in them climbing into each other's cribs at night.
So we had to bite the bullet and put the twins into big girl beds. They are no longer babies and its a little sad that they are so grown up.
Lawson is also pretty excited about the big girl beds since he can climb up and jump on the beds at will. Other than that there is no too much going on with him. He is such a bruiser and constantly terrorizes the twins by trying to take their Minnie Mouse dolls and blankets. I would feel bad for them, except they did that and worse to Lily. They kind of deserve it.
Unfortunately, for the twins he is stronger than they are so they always lose. If they do happen to win then he will just smack them. Today he was trying to climb on the chair with the girls and I. Abby didn't want him to climb up so she was blocking him. He solved that problem with a slap across the face. Let's just say his pimp hand is strong. I felt bad for poor Abby, but you can't stay mad for long at cutie like this. Even when you know he is up to trouble.
Happy Veterans Day! We hope 11/11/11 is super lucky for everyone and have a safe weekend!
Jeff, Kasey, Lily, Abby, Chloe and Lawson (aka Bruiser)
