Happy Halloween

 

 

 

Reece was a Minion for Halloween. His teacher said he did not want to take his Minion hat off the entire day. Madelyn was a ladybug by day (that's her in the front of the red buggy) and an Evil Minion by night.

Both enjoyed all of the day's festivities.

Getting Ready for Halloween

Madelyn loves her Minnie Pumpkin.

Reece told us that we could make his pumpkin and he would watch

.... we think he has a future in project management)

Baking with Nana

I like cooking cupcakes almost as much as I like eating them.

Vroom Vroom ... get outta the way

(Neither of the kids took to the electric car ... we think they prefer kid-power over battery power.)

Reece's Field Trip

My class took a field trip to Old McDonald's Farm - my favorite area was the giant sand pile

(same thing I loved last time we were there [2010]).

 

(that's me in the green when I was ~1.5)

Madelyn - 18 Months

There is no doubt ... I am a BIG girl (and super cute ; - ). My clothes are usually a 3T these days (Mom has to hem my pants a bit). I wear an 8 EXTRA wide shoe (Mom had hoped I would not have this same shoe sizing issue that Reece had - extra wide shoes do NOT come in a variety of styles and Mom and I both LOVE shoes).

• 35.5" (100th percentile)
• 31 lb 8 oz (100th percentile)
  

(Bubba's old jammies and glasses .... I like good)

Zoo Monkey

the zoo continues to be one of our favorite spots and this monkey is a great photo op -

Vroom ...

Daddy and Reece's date at the Grand Prix Race (thankfully the day before the big crash)

 

Abby Shoes

Mom bought me a spare pair of shoes to keep in my backpack but they are my new faves (my Abby Shoes). They are a little on the ugly side depending on who you ask but I show them off to anyone who will look and listen.

Thriller

This is Madelyn's new friend, Mummy. At first she was content to wear her glasses and dance with him over and over (AND OVER) again. But then she started taking him everywhere and carry him around like a baby doll ... unfortunately he has since broken - probably not intended to be manhandled by an 18mo old (sad that we will not have anymore 'Mummy' videos but at least Mom and Dad will stop hearing 'Thriller' in their sleep).

I like bugs

That is one enormous beetle! I really like bugs which creeps Mom out (except for Roly-Polys [my favorite]).

Reece is so snuggly

(I'll just watch what you're doing bro) 

(...maybe I'll take a nap instead)
