Halloween

As my few faithful followers know, I am WAY behind on blog posts!  So, I am going to catch up the last few months with some photos.  It was a super fun holiday season!

Pumpkin Carving.  Whitney was not thrilled about the sticky insides.

Colin did not mind getting elbow deep!

Freshly bathed babe, wanted to get in on it.

Trunk or Treat at Preschool

Ready to hit the streets!


Excited about all the loot!  They each got to enjoy a few that night and then pick 10 more to keep.  Mean mom I know.  But that is how it goes these days!

Three and a Half

Three and a Half!  So far I still think three is the hardest age.  Try negotiating with a three your old who is screaming at you, you may lose your mind.  But luckily, Colin is full of cuteness and hilariousness, to make up for our tough moments!

He has grown an inch since his birthday, now measuring 38.5 inches.  He is also thinning out a little bit...still gotta weigh him, but probably about 35 lbs.

This summer we introduced him to the movie Toy Story and he became obsessed.  We got a hand-me-down Buzz and Woody and he has pretty much played with them everyday since.  He recently got into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Since I don't approved of the new version, I ordered a DVD of the old 1980's shows and he has been happy with that.  He is also going to be Leonardo for Halloween.

One of his favorite things to do is take off all of the pillows on the couch and climb and jump on them.  Both of his sisters have endured some bumps and bruises from this, but he masterfully has come out clean.

He recently has gotten into coloring and enjoys this activity with Whitney.  He also talks her ear off the whole time about what he is coloring and which color and why.  He continues to be the talker in the family.  He loves to tell stories and jokes.  He is happy to tell us all about his school day too.

He is still such a little lover.  He loves Whitney so much and is heartbroken when she isn't up for playing (which isn't often) or if she is playing with her friends.  He is crushed and has a hard time handling these emotions.  But fortunately, with Lauren getting older their relationship is developing nicely.  Although they love to wrestle and pick on each other, he is always looking out for her and wanting to help her out.

Colin is a sweet, funny, inquisitive, stubborn, loving little boy and we can't imagine our life without him!





He woke up from a two hour nap but I guess he was still tired.  I will take the snuggles any day!

This one can tame his tantrums!
