Happy Halloween

The kids both still fit in their costumes from last year so we're reusing them.  They're still just as cute!  Paige isn't just a ladybug this year, she is a super hero - Ladybug Girl!  They were cracking me up with their super hero poses.

Last year and this year comparison.  I can't believe she was that baby just a year ago and now there's already another baby.  It's a little weird!

 They're ready to go trick-or-treating!

 And here's Logan's costume.  I'm pretty proud of it!

We carved our pumpkin a few days ago.  The kids are always so excited in the beginning, and then when I cut into it they get bored and Lucas gets grossed out.  Oh well, some day I'm sure they'll love making a mess in the pumpkin guts.

And here it is all lit up.  Lucas picked the scary face.  I think it's pretty awesome.

Happy Halloween!!

4 months

4 months feels like a big milestone to me.  I feel like Logan has really transitioned from the newborn phase where they just lay there and don't do anything and cry all the time, to being an older baby that spends a majority of his day playing either with us or on his own and has started to develop a cute little personality  He loves to be on his stomach.  It's hard to keep him on his back sometimes; he's always rolling.  He's been sleeping on his stomach for a while now too.

He loves to gobble up his hands and will sometimes jam them so far in that he chokes on them.  He will gobble pretty much anything he can get into his mouth and loves to munch on his blankets.  He also just grabs anything he can get his hands on, so when I'm shopping with him in the baby Bjorn I sometimes end up with more than I intended because he grabs stuff and pulls it off the shelf.  He loves to pull hair too.  One of my favorites is when babies discover their feet, and Logan just found his.  He needs help getting them into his mouth, but he loves gobbling those too when he can.

He got sick for the first time just this weekend.  He just has a little cold, so not too bad, but the poor little guy is having a hard time eating and sleeping.  He seems totally normal other than that, though, and plays all day long with his siblings.

Logan surprisingly loves his brother and sister, despite the fact that they keep stepping on him and Paige just terrorizes him half the time.  He especially loves Lucas and lights up when he sees him.  Lucas really loves Logan too.  He has been obsessed with him from day one and will just sit and tickle and play with Logan for forever.  He really has a special bond with Logan and it's so cute to see.

I took this video yesterday and Logan is still sick so he's not quite as giggly as he normally is, but it's still cute to see them playing.  Lucas will often say to me, "Mom, he's SO cute!" or "Do you see how cute this baby is?"  I love it!

Sometimes when Logan is grumpy and I'm busy with something, I have Lucas walk around with him for me.  Logan loves getting carried around by his big brother.

I just love this picture!

Pumpkin Patch

We went on a little family trip to the pumpkin patch last week.  I love this pumpkin patch because they have so much fun free stuff for the kids to do.  Although, it was a little disappointing that the paid activities were substantially more expensive than they were last year.  Oh well.  Here's Lucas and Paige running through the patch looking for the best pumpkin.

 Paige trying to pick up the pumpkins was hilarious!

 Found the perfect pumpkin!

 Lucas and Paige always love the wagons.  Here's Paige getting a ride.  Paige refused to smile normal the entire day and instead gave me this weird scrunchy smile.

 Here's Paige giving Lucas a ride.  She was pretty determined.

The kids loved running around in the hay maze.  Lucas was so good about staying with Paige and helping her through.

 The kids favorite part was the corn box.  They played for almost an hour in here.

 Ryan was a good daddy and climbed in to play with them.

 And more of Paige's weird smile.  I hope she gets over that before we take family pictures.  We got one big family pumpkin and then picked out three little pumpkins for each of the kids.  Lucas has the biggest of the mini pumpkins, Paige in the middle, and Logan has the smallest.

I was pretty proud of myself for finding that tiny little pumpkin.  And I'm pretty happy about how cute the three of them look holding their pumpkins.  We had so much fun we might go back again before the month is over.
