Happy Halloween!!

We had a fun little Halloween. I'll spare you all the boring details and just share with you the costumes. Because as we all know, halloween with kids is really all about the costumes. :) This is the first year that I can say that we had a "homemade" halloween. I made all of our costumes. Take a look:

Here is all of us at our Ward Halloween Carnival/Trunk-or-treat:

Ameliasaurus. She really wanted "dinosaur" feet as well, so she is the only one that got lucky enough to get the feet. :)

Joelasaurus

The "spike" view.

And here they are with our pumpkins too.

Joel's New Perch.

So one day I was in the kitchen doing the dishes (as always) and Joel came in to join me (as always.) He loves to help. And he is very good and taking the silverware and throwing it on the floor. Best helper I've ever had. :)

But this particular day I was concentrating on the dishes and the next thing I new his little head was peering into the sink. He's discovered that he can now climb into the dishwasher and reach anything on the counter. He's learned that there is always water to play with in there (and makes a big mess with it). But as you can see, he's proud as can be of his new found talent.

More about the house...

Just us as we live each day enjoying each other.

I feel like we have so many photos like this. These two are often on the couch "snugging" each other. (as Amelia would say.)


Joel recently discovered our swing on our little patio, and he LOVES it!!! He's learned to open the screen door and will crawl out there and I'll find him lounging like this. It cracks me up.


Amelia loves to swing with him too.


Playing the drums. (Amelia took this photo. I thought it was so good, I had to post it.)


Joel also recently learned to climb into the toy box. Amelia will climb in with him and sing "row row row your boat." They love it!

Natural History Museum

We visited the Natural History Museum at the beginning of this month. The first Thursday of every month is free and it seems like EVERYONE in LA new this little secret! This place was packed. But Amelia still had fun with her two best friends from nursery!



Yes, we made them pose a lot so we could take photos.
