Trick or Treating down Main Street!

We had a lot of fun taking Colton down Main Street for his first true trick-or-treating experience. He had a lot of fun, especially when he got a balloon!

 

We have our first "real" sentence!

This afternoon, after scarfing down a bunch of Oreos, Colton came to me and said as clearly as he can,

"Uhn mo kee plee." which easily translates into "One more cookie, please!" He even had his pointer finger up signaling one.

I am so proud!

The crib is ready to go!

I finally finished Macie's crib. I took the mattress off of Colton's crib and added green gingham Pottery Barn Kids ruffle and crib sheet and then a Pottery Barn Kids crib bumper in the "Sophie" pattern.

I think it's all coming together so nicely!

She will be here before we know it... 

The nursery is coming together!

The painting is finished and the lamps are hung. It is really starting to look like a nursery. I didn't want anything too frilly, so I think the green gingham is a nice compromise.

We still have to bring up the armoire/dresser/bookshelf from the basement and finish putting the bedding on the crib, but we are almost there!

4 weeks from today Macie will be here! YIPES!

The office is becoming a nursery

Here is a collection of "before" pics. Dada worked so hard at disassembling everything, carrying it all to the basement, painting a lovely light celery green, carrying the nursery furniture upstairs and reassembling it! I helped, but who are we kidding? I am not really too much help being 9 months pregnant...

We have a bunch to do, but it is getting there!

Raylene & Alex came over to play!

I got a real test of how having 2 kiddos will be when Raylene let me babysit her daughter Alex for a few hours.

Colton was surprisingly very good and was excited to point out to me that there was a baby here. I was so proud of him. We need to work on him *not* touching the baby though...

Here is a lovely pic of Raylene and beautiful Alex. 

The slide is always a hit

Colton just loves the slide! Ready, set, GO!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! 

Off to the Dog Park

It was a beautiful fall morning, so we decided to put Colton and Kodiak in the truck and head to the local dog park.

I don't know who enjoyed it the most!
