Happy 18 Months!

Our "baby" is already 18-months-old! That's crazy talk. Wasn't she just born?! She is such a delight. We love her so very much. Here are some updated pics of our silly girl.

yes, that's a snot bubble.

Our "Apple" Patch

Both of our kids were apples this Halloween... I mean pumpkins. For some reason, Charley calls pumpkins "apples" (yes, we've tried to correct her, but to no avail). She made a cute paper-bag pumpkin at school, which she affectionately calls her "apple," and she knows her "apple" had candy in it. Her "apple" had those little candy pumpkins in them, which I made the huge mistake of giving her half of one before we starting carving our pumpkin. She then spent most of her time not enjoying the pumpkin carving but rather whining for an "apple." She rarely ever has sugar, so that little tiny half a pumpkin candy left her salivating for more (as her sugar-crazed Mom, I don't blame her). Anyways, she does know what a real apple is, and most the time when she asks for "apples" she really means "apples," and even if she doesn't, that's what we give her!

So, we had a fun, festive Halloween weekend, with some great pics I just have to share (here you go, Haley).

Our Sweet Pumpkins

Doesn't it look like he's saying, "Charley hit me!!" and she's saying, "No, not sweet little me!" Well, she did try to shove him over, but his look of concern has more to do with his empty belly.

Mom. Seriously. A pumpkin?

Miss Pumpkin Patch. She wore her costume to school* on Thursday and was such a cutie pie.

We went to three neighbors' houses to Trick-or-Treat. She loved it!

Pictures from our carving adventures Friday night. Charley's job was to put the inside gunk into the plastic bag, which she surprisingly did a great job at. The best part was her saying, "Ewwwww" as she did it.

The final product (with Charley's paper-bag "apple" in the background).

*if you ever hear me mention Charley going to "school," I am referring to the Mother's Morning Out program she has been attending twice a week since September. I'm guessing we call it school b/c school is one syllable as opposed to five. :) She LOVES going!
