Pumpkin painting

Since the kids aren't old enough to carve pumpkins yet, we decided to have Jack's friends over to paint pumpkins instead! Jack had a lot of fun doing his own pumpkin as well as his baby brother's. The weather has been so mild lately but it seemed today was the exception..... it was darnright hot in the sun!

New furniture

We got our new living room furniture today. It's totally kid-friendly and will (hopefully) get us through the next few years with young boys! The main thing was to get more seating and to get rid of the sharp edges of our old coffee table. It's a different look for us but we like it.

Bath time

Dave and I split up the boys and gave them a bath. It will be nice to bathe them together one day! I got Jack a monogrammed robe to start wearing after baths and he loved it! I also got one for Theo but it will be a few months till it fits. My friend Courtney had these letters made for Theo's nursery and we hung them above his window. Aren't they great!!!

Matching chairs

It's been really fun shopping for things for my two boys! I got Jack a new chair cover and decided to go ahead and get one for Theo. Jack got a kick out of having his name on the chair now (the other one didn't) and keeps adding "Hadskey" at the end. There are 3 Jack's in his Kehoe class so he goes by Jack H. Theo was not too impressed with his chair however........ I guess we'll have to give him some time to warm up to it.

15 minutes of fun

Theo is a smiling little man these days! He first smiled at me around 3 weeks ago but now he is smiling all of the time. He has two dimples just like his big brother (we still don't know where those came from since Dave and I don't). Both of my boys are in the early riser club these days so we put Theo in his crib to partake in his mobile for a while. He just loves that thing which is great! I usually put him under it at night when I put Jack down to sleep and it's never let me down. Notice the Baylor blanket Aunt Chi!

Octoberfest

Today was Octoberfest at Kehoe and the preschool kids performed the chicken dance with their parents. Jack wore the big brother shirt that his Uncle Glynn sent him and it was very cute on him. All of the little boys wore a blue hat with a feather and the little girls wore a princess type headress. Jack loved doing the chicken dance and enjoyed being with his friends on a Friday (he goes T/TH). It was neat to see how he interacted with his friends and to see him follow his teacher's instructions. I wore Theo in the baby bjorn the whole time and he slept through the whole thing. He did of course immediately wake up when I put him in his carseat and screamed the whole way home!

This and that

Uncle Dane had surgery yesterday and Jack wanted to draw a picture for him to make him feel better! He insisted that I write his name in the bottom J-a-c-k..... I'm guessing that they do that at school so he wanted to follow suite. I also got him some cute Halloween Pj's and he wore them to bed last night. I cut his hair today and think that I did the best job ever! I totally butchered it before I had Theo so I made sure to do better this time. Jack still doesn't cooperate at all but I've learned some tricks along the way.

Here is my sweet Theo taking a nap. He's settling in now.... perhaps we were still going through a bit of a growth spurt. I take him tomorrow for his one month appointment to see how much he weighs these days. Take your guess..... but I'm thinking close to 11 lbs.... we'll see!!
