We hit a milestone yesterday UPS brought us our second booster/high chair. You can't really tell but we bought exactly the same kind for Anna that Caroline already has. Anna did pretty well, though she wasn't super excited about being constrained in a seat. But I think being at the same height as everyone else during dinner outweighed that complaint.
We are pretty excited about the change in our family from 2012. We don't think things will change quite so dramatically this year, but we sure are looking forward to watching our girls grow!
O Leaning House of Rice Krispie Treat
How overloaded with candy you are
Above the toothpicks holding you up
The Marshmellow goo there lies
Where on the cocoa Krispie
The great yummy candies stand by
To take our girls, on a sugar induced whirl
As their parents stand mystified
In other news our church had a family fun night on Saturday. Our family went, including Aunt Clare. We had pizza and then played a hilarious game that got everyone doing silly things like waddling like a duck, throwing food into each others mouths and wrapping people in toilet paper. A lot of laughter ensued.
Today was a day off for us. So we talked to the girls about the importance of freedom and Veterans. (Thank you Poppa!). But we also did a thanksgiving craft. It was fun to hear what Caroline was thankful for (hand was the one that surprised me the most. "well mommy, they do lots of things" we had quality time with scissors, glue, construction paper and tape. What could be better?
Although she is really working on figuring out how to crawl (she is trying to get up on all fours), I'm trying to convince her sitting is fun. She will only sit for a few minutes before she starts squirming and trying to roll out. But she is doing pretty well with the whole holding herself upright thing.
When you want to be a lollipop ballerina princess for Halloween sometimes a costume change is required. So Caroline was a princess this morning. She was a ballerina (complete with bun) this evening. We acquired a lollipop while trick or treating. All is well. (Note that Anna's tastes are a little less nuanced and she was just a cheerleader.
Happy Halloween from our favorite princess and cheerleader. Caroline has informed me that she didn't want to be a mermaid for Halloween because that is what she wants to be when she grows up so it wouldn't be a costume. Being a mermaid would be for real. Irrefutable logic.
So this is what our front room looks like AFTER I picked it up a little bit. Apparently 60 mph gusts hit inside as well as outside.
