Trick or Treat!

Halloween 2006. Chloe had so much fun trick or treating with some good friends. She got quite a stash of candy. Sammy rode in the stroller or was carried by the big Tiger. What fun!

Pumpkin Carving

Monday night daddy, Chloe and Omi carved a pumpkin for Halloween night. Chloe guessed what was inside......seeds. She learned that at preschool.

Wakefield Monster Mash!

We had a huge halloween party with 9 families and a few other close friends. The kids had a blast. They wore their costumes. We had face painting, a pumpkin craft, a scavenger hunt and lots of yummy food.

Clayton Pumpkin Patch

This was our second anual trip to the Clayton pumpkin patch. The kids had fun in the play zone, feeding the llamas and piggies, riding the train, eating kettle corn and picking out a pumpkin.
Chloe talked about last years trip for months!

Kitty Call

Today Chloe went to a Halloween story time. She wanted to be a kitty. Luckily I was able to pull it together last minuete with things we had and a barrowed leotard. Her costume was even more authentic with all the dog and cat hair she picked up on her costume before we left. She went with Melody, Melissa and Rachel, so mommy could shop for the big Wakefield Halloween party on Saturday. She is still gone now, I'm sure she is having a blast. Notice the kitty peaking out the door.

Princess Chloe was a merry little soul.....

and a merry little soul was she. She called for her dress and she called for her crown and she called for her friend Melody! Today we went to a princess party. Chloe was not quite sure about the whole thing. But she did have fun doing ballet/ princess moves with her good friend Melody. In the end she said she didn't want to leave. But most of the time she was just observing, taking the whole thing in.

Good Times!

Today we went to Katherine Pughs first birthday party. It was alot of fun. The big kids searched for pumpkins and then decorated them. Sammy really liked his pumpkin. Mommy and Sammy had fun on this blanket. Chloe missed her nap so when we got home she was very tired and wanted her daddy!

New adventures!

Here we are in our double stroller and we love it. One of our favorite afternoon activities is to go for a walk and look at the Halloween decorations. The stroller is designed for the smaller child to ride in the back. So far Chloe will not hear of it, the back is where she goes.

Busy weekend

On Saturday we went to Wells Fargo and opened an account for Chloe and Sammy. Here they are with the bank teller. Sunday Mommy and Daddy went on a Hornblower champagne brunch cruise in San Fran. Rachel stayed with the kids and they had a great time, so did mommy and daddy.

Monkey see, monkey do

Chloe has decided she needs to do everything Sammy does. Today when he tried sweet potatoes, she wanted to try them too. She even asked for more. Yesterday she decided to get in the exersaucer, and got stuck. Notice the look on her face. Also yesterday Sammy got his first sipee cup. He doesnt get it yet but thinks its a great toy. Of course Chloe wanted her cup with the handles. We found this picture, but not the cup. Notice who had more hair at this age!

Sweetie Boy!

Sammy is so sweet he is very tactile. He loves to hold his hands together, touch my face and hair. He is growing and changing so fast. This is the first time he really stood well, with help of course. He loves winter squash, his first food other than cereal (we call him the one tooth wonder). He and Chloe were playing and having a blast until they bonked heads and I had 2 crying kids!

A hard days work.

The past few weekends Minor and Chloe have been working on the playstructure. First, Minor used a pressure washer to clean it off. Next, Chloe and Daddy sanded it down (this was a 2 weekend job.) Then, they used the pressure washer to blow it off. Now, Minor is sealing it while the kids sleep. What a labor of love. Mommy and Sammy have been working inside.
