Molbaks 2011

My happy place. Mom, Nat, and I took Sophie and Isaac along for the ride. What I love about Molbaks is that they have photo backgrounds set up here and there throughout the store. I always forget this and kick myself for not dolling up the kids and taking them there for pictures. Next year it's on! For this year, here are the pretties, and a few cuties!

Blake

is four and I have been meaning to jot down a few of his special "fourisms".
1. He says many words with "f" instead of "h"  e.g.- "fewmongous"
2. He insist that is a "sunny-circle". (semi-circle)
3. He likes to give "rasp-berts" (a mixed up the two names raspberries and zerberts)

in other news: personal enemy #1 and I have come to an uneasy truce for the holiday season even as far as Isaac's turning one year next summer. There is not time to be upset about a post baby body when my baby still doesn't sleep 4 hours straight. Sleep deprivation wins and exercise and I will enjoy a long awaited reunion soon enough.

Halloween

Happy Halloween. It was a total success. We had over grandma Trudy, Mike, and Amber, and our friends the Donathons. Mario (Blake) was very popular with the neighborhood kids and Trinity loved her Princess Peach dress. Pizza followed by trick-or-treating and NO RAIN. Yup, that's a success.
The baby made it impossible to get a good picture of his Halloween outfit (the same I have pictures of Blake in) but oh well, he was adorable anyway. Here are some pics. I didn't get any very good ones. Bummed about that but some days are not good picture days ans sugar-hyped kids are no help.
