Arts and Crafts - Pumpkin Style

So we got our second set of pumpkins this week. The first set were small and we drew faces on them, we got them the first time we went to the petting zoo with the day care. Yesterday when Alex went he got a nice sized pumpkin and today when the petting zoo came to the day care while Alex was at elementary school Nate got a nice sized pumpkin too. So we (with Mommy's help) turned our pumpkins into Jack-O-Lanterns. Here is our finished products!!!

The Videos

As promised here are 2 videos

Happy Halloween... almost

So lots happening this week. Alex got to go to the farm again with his elementary school and a farm came to Nate at daycare. We have been playing with our halloween costumes and getting comfy with them which is great cause last year we didn't even want to put them on so no pictures were taken. We also got to play with some bags that Mommy had lying around.... the are blue... and had empty blue boxes in them... we were pretty exited about them. We will be posting 2 new videos later tonight as well. We can't wait to go to school on Friday in our costumes and then go trick or treating for the first time on sunday... yay!

Rub a Dub Dub!

What a weekend

Hi All!!!! So last weekend we hung out at Grandma and Pap's house and this weekend we went south to Nana and Grandad's house. They drove us down on Friday and Mommy came and met us there after work. Saturday Uncle Stephen and Grandad took us to the park to run off some energy while Nana and Mommy went to Home Depot (hmmm that sounds backwards... but it's true!) Then we got to see Aunt Katie who came to pick Mommy up to go out for the night.. something about a 10 year renion with a school... whatever! Then today Nana, Grandad and Pop-Pop took us to the park while Mommy slept in, apparently she wasn't following her rule about going to bed with and getting up with the sun. Then Aunt Coco, Uncle Todd, Kerri and Felix and Felix's friend Cody came to play and stay for dinner. We celebrated Nana's birthady even though its not till after Halloween but everyone was in town this weekend.

Both of us have been super busy! On Monday we went on a field trip to the petting zoo with the day care, tons of fun! We brought back pumpkins that Mommy helped us draw faces on. Alex is loving school and doing so well and Nate loves to color and do arts and crafts.

Nate the Artist!

So this all started when Mommy was writing words on our doodle pads and Nate sat with it and actually traced every letter Mommy put down. Mommy then went to go get her camera to try to get Nate to do it again... but he decided to draw what he wanted. A house, Mommy and Daddy. Enjoy!!
