Hookie!

Good Morning...don't they look cozy? Both have come down with a little cold and came and crawled into our bed this morning (any chance I had of not getting sick..all gone now). I decided to let Matthew stay home from preschool (Caitlin didn't have school today), so we're home having a big ol' sick party.

So, the cutest thing happened yesterday...I guess all this baby talk is starting to affect Matthew-Yesterday he brought me "Allie's" trunk full of clothes. (Allie is Caitlin's doll) He wanted me to open it...and I just figured he was going to empty it to make a new hangar for his airplanes, or stuff it full of action figures. A little later though, I wandered into Caitlin's room and this is what I saw.....

He's changing Allie's diaper! And dressing her! (he doesn't seem to mind the fact that he's only half dressed...). Then he put her in her carseat and carried her around. I asked him where he was taking her, and he said, "im just carrying her because I don't have a car". Is he already dropping hints??
Sweet little man..practicing for Hannah I guess :)

UltraSound 3

Hola!!

Today we had the third and final ultrasound for baby Hannah..and she looks great! She actually stuck her tongue out at the doctor while he was checking her out..pretty funny to see. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of her...doc put everything on a DVD for her first baby video. Also there weren't any good shots of her face because she had her hand blocking it for most of the time. It was ok though because her measurements were perfect and she is right on track. However she is following the same weight pattern as Matthew which means she will probably be another 9 pounder!!! So, Im not thrilled about that. In fact Matt and I have pretty much decided to go with an induction about a week early, moving the due date to Oct. 28th. (if you've had a 9 pounder then you know why) So that's exciting. And hopefully the recovery period will not be quite as bad it was with Matthew.

Anyway, not much else to report, and no pictures today...more after this weekend i hope.

Pet Day and Two Wheels

Happy weekend!

We have a few things to report...first-Friday was "Pet Day" for Matthew at the preschool. We did this with Caitlin last year and kind of knew what to expect. We took Chassie, who had a horrible time because I kept her on a VERY tight leash and wouldn't let her chase a single cat. Or hen. (yes..someone brought their pet hen. This is rural Georgia we're talking about) Matthew had a great time..mostly with the kitty cats.

Chassie in the choke hold.

Matthew loooovvveeeddd pet day.

You have to look closely but here he is, squatting down to see the kitten.

The next business of the weekend is that we decided to start Caitlin on two wheels! We pulled her old bike out which was conveniently missing one of it's training wheels (that's what happens when you leave your bike in the path of Daddy's redcar), and we removed the other wheel and gave her her first big girl lesson. Matthew also got a lesson (big BOY) and both did very well! Caitlin even went a few seconds by herself. It's gonna take a lot of practice, but i know she'll get it. Matthew wasn't really all that interested in learning-the novelty of having a real big boy bike hasn't worn off yet. So he mostly just rode his bike around.

We started out in our own driveway, but it was a little too hilly, so we ended up in an empty parking lot near our house.

Matthew was very color coordinated for the bike riding...

Of course the peanut butter puppy got to come with us.

Look!!! All by herself!

Fall Festival!

Here's the quick and dirty on this weekend:

1. THREE SHOWINGS!!
2. Zero buyings
3. Gorgeous fall weather...i think the high on saturday was 78.
4. Fall festival in north georgia.
Here are some pictures from all the fun:

In front of the shoals. Which I completely left out of the picture. But I got the munchkins, so it's ok:)
Petting the "children's python". Seriously, that's what it's called....
Caitlin was totally making fun of the poor guy dressed up as a duck. Just look at her face...
Matthew on the other hand was scared to death....he wouldn't take pictures until I was between him and the scary dude in the bright yellow suit.
Down the gigantic slide....

Daddy and Caitlin

Little cowboy-

"Trigger" and Caitlin

Just pictures..

...all my writing energy is being poured into my other blog (http://www.fullhandsmom.blogspot.com/).

Here's some pictures of Matthew's "Grandparent's Day" at the preschool; Nana came and got to see him perform some songs and dance that the preschool had put together (including the "hoochie coochie" dance..which Matthew says is just "wiggling your bottom a lot"-and this is a Baptist preschool!!! lol)

Also some others from the Nana Cam:

Quite the ladies man, huh? Actually there's only one other little boy in his class, so he doesn't really have a choice. Though he says his best friend is "my new caitlin"...another little girl named Caitlin in his class.

Itsy Bitsy Spider-

Evidently you get more lift with your hands in your pocket....(below)

Nana and Matthew

She reminds me of the statue of liberty..all she needs is a little torch.Engaged in one of her favorite activities..coloring.Dressup/playtime at Nana'sIt rained!! For 15 whole minutes! So we carpe diemed (carpe rain?) and played in the rain. With umbrellas of course. Matthew would NOT look at the camera.

One of my new favorite pictures. I wish my camera had a better zoom...but doesn't it look like they are discussing something important??
