Joey's Hat

These are some pics of Joey finger painting today. He really gets into it as you can see, he was using paintbrushes, his hands, and some sponges. He dipped one of the sponges in paint and waited until I was looking and said "HAT" and smashed the sponge on his forehead.


Here he is playing the drums (the drum is a pretty cardboard box, the drumsticks are the cardboard pieces you get off the wire hangers from the dry cleaners). I had to hold Christina and clap her hands together or he wouldn't play because he was playing for her.

Christina at Daycare

My neighbor Beverly works at the daycare that Christina attends and emailed these pictures to me, here is Christina with her 'peeps'

Christina has Teeth !!

Christina has been a little cranky lately, when I walked into daycare yesterday to pick her up one of the ladies told me she had two teeth on the bottom (that were not there that morning !). My little girl has teeth already at 5 months.

Chick-fil-a Cow Nighty Night

Daddy is OOT (out of town). Actually he has only been out of town a few days a week the last few weeks but that is about to change, he is going to be gone the first two weeks of December and one weekend in November, and probably afraid to let me know much more than that.

Since Joe is gone, I took the kids to Chick-fil-a after daycare today. It amazes me that Joey still has so much energy left. He would eat a few bites, run back to the playground, eat a few bites, back and forth, we were there for almost two hours and his head was all sweaty from playing. The cow was there last week walking around shaking all the kids hands but he wasn't there this week. Joey told me the cow had gone nighty night and wanted to go out in the parking lot to look for him. He kept mooing..it was so cute.

Daddy if you are reading this we miss you !!!

Halloween

Here we are at the neighborhood halloween party at the playground, Christina is dressed up as a cow, Joey and Joe have matching Bob the Builder outfits, only they ended up being known as "Joe the plumber"



Always wear your safety goggles !!


Christina has been sitting in her high chair and eating baby food. I started her off on peas and that didn't go so well, then I gave her what I thought was squash and turned out to be sweet potatoes, no wonder she liked it so much. Here she is wondering why I am taking pictures instead of feeding her more yummy sweet potatoes.

Christina rolled over !!

Last night I put Christina on the bed on her back and turned around (for a second) to get a sleeper out of her closet, when I turned back around she was on her stomach propped up on her elbows .. Yeah!!!

Joey's Birthday Party

Joey is two years old now !! We had his birthday party on the 25th at Chuck E Cheese. We had a good time, he learns fast, we put tokens in his pocket to spend and when he ran out he said "more money dad" .. he's been calling us mom and dad instead of mommy and daddy, isn't that supposed to happen much later? I am definitely not ready for that. Here are some pics of him and his friends.

Joey with Big Sissy Emily


Joey with Bob the Builder


Maybe we should have Joe's next birthday party at Chuck E Cheese too.
