We went to church for Trunk-or-Treat and it was really fun. Lots of church members decorated their trunks and passed out candy. There was also an inflatable movie screen on which old- timey cartoons were projected. There was a hayride, a moon bounce, snacks, a little play area for the little kids and an area for people to have their pictures taken. The pictures were immediately printed out and people could make frames for them at a craft table. Max enjoyed looking at everything and dancing to the music they had playing. Here are some more pictures and a video for your enjoyment! Don't forget to click, "Slideshow" to see the pictures in a larger format.Friday, October 31, 2008

Talking!
Max is starting to talk! He has been saying "Mama" for a long time, but now he also says "hat", "hot" and "hi" - which all sound exactly the same, "haa". We just have to use context clues to know which one he's saying. He also signs them so that helps. Now if only he would say "Dada"!

Adventures in Babysitting
Lots of little adventures going on 'round these parts. Let's see... probably the biggest one was Mabel & Weston staying with us this weekend. It was their first time ever staying overnight without their mommy and daddy, so it was a pretty big deal. I didn't really know how to plan, so I spent a lot of time marvelling at how much more difficult it was for me to keep the house/kitchen tidy with two more kids than usual. I learned a few lessons over the weekend:1.) Paper products are my friend (plates, utensils).
2.) Keep track of cups, otherwise you'll go through all the cups you own before lunch.
3.) Two and four-year-olds can stay up until 11 p.m. and wake at 5 a.m. even though at home they fall asleep by 7:30 p.m. and don't wake til 12 hours later.
4.) The most fun thing in the world is taking a bath with your cousins!
Overall, a fun time was had by all. We made brownies and pizzas and read books and played and played and played and did I mention all three kids taking a bath together?? Max missed the busy-ness when he woke up Monday. Here are some pictures of our weekend.
