Christmas Card Attempt One

Q Cuties at 8 Months

Here are a couple of cutie photos for ya'll... He's really workin' that pink cowboy hat - the joys of having an older sister! Thankfully he's game for it; in a few years, not so much! I love the one of him playing in the basket - so fun!

The Pox

Sorry to have taken so long to post - our house has been in an ever constant infectious state! Here are a couple of pics from Mr. Q's chicken pox. Thankfully he didn't get them too bad. Just bad enough to make him uncomfortable for a couple of days (Benedryl is a very good thing, Martha should add it to her list!). The photo on top is day 2 the one below is day 3.

So Funny

This is funny & would make a great little gift for the right person:

Halloween 2009

It was a whirlwind, but we made it through! Miss E was just a bundle of energy all day (and the eve of)! We carved pumpkins in the morning and then went to Granny's neighborhood for trick or treating and photos. Cousin Lukey, Uncle Cotty and Auntie Kass celebrated with us too! Miss E was a pretty purple kitty and Mr. Q & Lukey were festive in their skeleton pjs! Miss E wanted to start trick or treating right after pictures, but it just wasn't dark yet. Torture!!! We were able to hold her off until just after 6pm and then headed out. She had fun snooping into the neighbor's house and trying to take their dogs as treats! She had a full bag, and some very good candy, pretty quickly, so we headed back to Granny's so she could hand out candy. Miss E took her job seriously, never leaving the front door, and often meeting the trick or treaters in the front yard!!! She had a blast and Mr. Q loved being out and about while we were trick or treating (he even scored a few candies... yeah for mom and dad!!).

Pumpkin Scones

We tried these this morning for breakfast and they are really good, and really easy:

Pumpkin Patch 2009

We made it to the pumpkin patch this past Sunday. Granny came along and we met up with Lukey, Uncle Cotty and Auntie Kass. Miss E had a blast - the pony rides and petting zoo held top honors with her. It was so fun to watch her ride the ponies, not once, but twice! My fav was seeing my kids standing next to the growth chart. We've got 3 years of photos of Miss E and now 1 of Mr. Q; it is so fun to see how much she's changed (frightening too!!). We watched the pigs race again this year... they were a little hung over from whatever Saturday night partying they did and weren't too feisty, but entertaining just the same! Unlike past years we skipped purchasing our pumpkins at the patch - they were just too pricey... thankfully the grocery stores have 'em for some pretty good deals! Halloween is just around the corner, I've got to get me hiney in gear and get Miss E's costume concocted! Keep your fingers crossed!!! Hopefully you can click on each photo grid to see it larger - but, who knows with blogger!

Some Randomness For Ya

My computer is attempting to take a dump, so I will be brief about these and just get 'em on here. The kids were cooperative the other morning so I got a couple of photos of them being cute. The other pics are of the kids in their little punkin hats I knitted for them (cousin L got one too, hope to get one of the three of them together).

Mr. Q at 6 Months

His is officially 1/2 year old... six months has gone by so fast! Isn't it crazy how it seems like forever while your trudging along, but when you look back it just flew by? Any who, Q weighed in at 19 lbs 10 ozs and is 27 1/2" long. His Dr. said that he is in the 80% for both. He's been rolling over for a while now, but has recently figured out that he can get around that way. Still only two teeth on the bottom... with the way he's been teething you'd think he'd have a mouthful!! He's such a happy guy and loves watchin' his sister tear around!!

A Trip To Ballet

A couple of weeks ago we decided to take both baby Q and baby L to Miss E's ballet classes. Mom really wanted to come see E dance, so, Mr. L came along too! We thought the boys would like the music and all the movement... we thought! It was pretty comical to see the kids all lined up in the backseat, so I had to snap a few photos. Miss E did really well at her class, Mr. L did not. Granny was asked to take him out to the hall during part of the class - the kids were on stage, and the teacher didn't want them distracted - fair enough!

Flying Baby

Mr. Q loves being tossed in the air - there's always big smiles and lots of giggles!

The Exersaucer, Friend or Foe?

Mr. Q loves sittin' and playin' in his exersaucer. Every now and then he gets a bit aggresive with it's parts! Those teeth are a lot of fun to use, ain't they?

Mr. Big Stuff at 5 Months

Here's some Mr. Q face time for ya! A little bit for Pestley too!

Finally Finished It

Well, I finally finished Miss E's sweater! I started it last July and was going great until the all day preggers sickness hit me; the poor sweater was put away with only one arm left to knit! I found it last month and showed it to E, who in turn asked me to finish it. So, here ya go... some photos of her new purple sweater and matching beanie. Not only is purple her favorite color, but it also happens to be one of the 'it' colors for fall - who knew?

This girl is in constant motion, camera setting must be adjusted to account for this. Can you tell I was a little slow on the uptake!Had to post this photo - doesn't she look like she belongs to a dock workers union!
