Halloween 2017

Hello my wonderful readers. Happy Halloween 2017! This is the twins first Halloween and Penelope's 4th. We had so much fun about a week or so before Halloween our community center near our house does a trunk or treat with the local business', it's at the perfect time before it's dark fully and before meltdown time. So we all went in costume and Penelope had a blast trick or treating. We did a family costume of Frozen to kind of go with Penelope's upcoming birthday party. Aaron was Kristoff, I was Sven, Penelope was Elsa, Andrew was Olaf and Juliet was Ana. All the kids were so cute and Aaron was pretty cute as well. 

 Penelope had a blast going up to people and saying trick or treat. 

 Me and all my babies. 

 This is the only one of all 5 of us together. 

We took some of the kids when we got home from the event. 

Andrew was not a happy snowman! haha

Hope you enjoyed our sweet Halloween. Lots of Love! 

Year 3 with a Toddler

Hello my wonderful readers. I absolutely cannot believe how fast 3 years went by, I feel like I just had Penelope yesterday! She is a growing girl and so smart and beautiful. She weighs 30 pounds and is 36.5 inches tall.

Diapers/ Potty training: Around the end of August we went for it and started potty training, we bought panties and pull-ups and put the cloth diapers away for her. She is pretty much potty trained for day time, we haven't tackled night time just yet so she wears size 5 diapers for now but hopefully soon. She wears 3T-4T size pull-ups when we leave the house because she stills has a few accidents if she gets too busy.

Clothing size: She is wearing some size 3T and some size 4T clothes and about to go into size 8 shoes.

Sleeping: She sleeps through the night no problems, but I think she is about to drop her one 2 hour nap a day.

Feeding: There is really nothing except carrots that she wont eat, she only drinks milk and water not really anything else. She does likes to share my apple cider at Apple Hill also.

Routine: We have a pretty good routine (post with updated routine to come soon).

Firsts: She became a big sister, She learned to go potty on the potty, First time seeing Santa and not crying, first time going to a big Easter egg hunt, Got her first Princess movie for a gift, first Barbie like doll, First black eye from climbing and falling on 4th of July, First state fair, First trip to the lake, First family wedding, First meeting with a princess, Joined Pioneer Girls

Loves: to color, play dress up, play with other kids, talk, Disney Princess', Curious George, Creative Galaxy, Daniel Tiger

Every year since turning 1 Aaron has taken a picture with Penelope on her birthday.

This is a little collage I made for Penelope's party (post to come) from the last year. Hope you enjoyed the update on her I still can't believe she is 3. 

Fall 2017 Home Decor

Hello my wonderful readers. I thought I would do a quick share of my fall decor this year in my home. 

A lot of it is things that I have had around for awhile. These two pumpkins are on the top of our cube organizer that holds our toys. 

This little pumpkin is on the bookcase hanging out you almost don't notice him. 

This banner was outside on the front door but it kept blowing around and sounding like someone was knocking in the middle of the night haha. 

This is my counter love this little sign I found a couple years ago on the the Target dollar spot, with my pumpkin made of wine corks I made last year. 

This bow used to be on my wreath but I made a new one this year so this one fits perfect here. 

These two leaf vines are from our wedding and I find a place for one or both every year because I love them so much. The sign above I bought this year for super cheap I loved that it had 3 pumpkins 1 for each kid and says "Locally Grown Farmers Market Pumpkin Patch."

Here is my wreath I try to update with the season, and the pumpkin says "Give Thanks" I got a few years back for cheap too and love. 

My witches shoe is one of my favorites and sits under our TV by all my favorite pictures. Hope you enjoyed a sneak peak of my decor. Lots of Love. 

Month 10 with Twins

Hello my wonderful readers. I can't believe these two are 10 months old now and growing like a couple of weeds.

Diaper size: both are still in cloth diapers 95% of the time, disposable diapers and night time diapers they are wearing a size 3.

Clothing size: Andrew is wearing 6-9 and 9 month size clothes, mostly 9 month size; Juliet is still wearing some size 6 month clothes, 6-9 and 9 month size clothes.

Sleeping: they sleep through the night, they take 2 naps a day about 1-1.5 hours long

Feeding: Both are still on formula (I can't wait to not be!) They eat about every 2-3 hours 5-6 oz at a time each, they are holding their own bottles, we have dropped their afternoon bottle. They are eating breakfast and dinner regularly and drinking water now more. 

Routine: We are still on the same routine as before. 

Firsts: First apple donut from Apple Hill, First drinks from a sippy cup, Andrew has his first 2 teeth.

Movements: Both walk along the couch and other furniture really quick and easy, Andrew took his first few steps pushing a toy table around the living room.

 Juliet has a little issue with her eyes we are hoping to correct so she is wearing little glasses for 95% of the day, not to sleep and not when riding in the car. 

 They love to look at themselves in the camera.

 Daddy with all 3 of his babies :-)

 They were having a very serious convo haha.

 This was right before he walked pushing this toy table around.

 This was our September visit to Apple Hill lunch break.

 They both started to climb in the baby doll cradle to climb up the bookcase so the cradle is no longer there.

Andrew is getting the real hang of the sippy cup but Juliet is still working on understanding how it works.

They are so cute and getting so much harder to take monthly pictures. Hope you enjoy their update. Lots of Love.
