Halloween 09

We had a great Halloween. For us it seemed to go on for weeks. Lilly couldn't wait to wear her costume. Last Saturday the Woods and Nana came down and we went to Disneyland to give the costumes a test run. Then on Friday her school had a "parade" I use that word very lightly as they just walked around in a circle in their small playground area to Monster Mash playing on a boom box (awesome I know). Then we went to the studio for some Disney fun.
Charlie was a trouper putting his costume on and off over the last few days (Debi made him an AMAZING beast costume, since his big sister is Belle). Along with pumpkin carving we also went trick-or-treating. Our friends the Berin's live in the most amazing neighborhood. We crash their 4th of July and Halloween activities every year. THANKS Berin's.
This year was no exception, fun, friends and lots of candy.
Enjoy the pictures of our Beauty and her Beast.

Pumpkin Patch 2009

We went to the pumpkin patch on Sunday. We had a great time. It was a little hot, but we got snow cones so we were ok. Our friends the Harvey's met us there. Lilly, Hannah and Kayla are the best of friends. Charlie was great as usual and loved all the hub bub.

Dreams

Lilly's Nana B got her this doll. It's a beautiful porcelain doll (the Fragile baby doll).  Like all good parents we let Lilly watch Thriller, cause you know it's totally appropriate.  She loved it and even wanted a second viewing.  I'm not sure how the doll worked it's way into being scary, but I had to take her into the living room before she would go to sleep.  And because she is my dreamy daughter she dreamt about wolves coming in and hurting her foot and breaking the baby.  

She is such a funny little kid.  All the baby that was there is gone, POOF, it just happened overnight.  She is also smart, confirmed by her teacher who told me yesterday that "she is the smartest kid in the class"  She has been so well behaved and knows all the answers, to quote her, "I know that mom"  Yes she does.

Come play with me!!!

Lilly Moments

Our girl is a smart and funny one.  She is also a very loving person.  She greets Charlie everyday with a smile and profession of love "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!"  and Charlie just BEAMS.  He loves her as much as she loves him.  She also loves to call him "buddy"  "hey my little buddy", "how you doing buddy"  yep she's pretty  much the cutest thing ever.

We are loving having two kids and looking forward to when they can play together.  We have been very busy and are looking forward to Halloween.  Lilly is going to be Belle and Charlie....The Beast, what else (still trying to figure out how to make that one, thank God for Debi)  

be on the look out for pumpkin patch pictures.
