Catching Up with pictures

So sorry this is SO out of order. I'm still trying to figure out how to upload this pics to STAY in the order I upload them here on blogger. I've uploaded pictures of our two trips to Disneyland in October and pictures from Joseph's first birthday party.

Once again sorry they are all wacked out of order but they are pretty much self explanitory and are dated so hopefully you can understand what I was trying to do.

We have been super busy these past few months. In October we went to Disneyland twice, the first trip we made we left behind the double stroller for the big boys, so we rented a wheelchair and Tommy and Trenton sat in there side by side. I know it sounds a bit white trash, but it settled the problem.

The second trip to Disneyland was during Halloween weekend. It was the first time we stayed away from home with the boys. We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel, that alone was an adventure. Trenton had a hard time at first and wanted to go home to his own bed. Tommy and Trenton ended up sleeping in one of the queen beds with Michael and Joseph and I in the other queen bed. I didn't sleep much because I woke up everytime Joseph moved because I was afraid he'd fall off the bed. Needless to say, we all had a ton of fun and we made memories with our little guys.

Joseph turned one year old on November 5th, that little man is walking all over the place. He loves to dance and be wiggly and silly. I can't help but notice that he is growing up faster than Tommy and Trenton did. He tries to keep up with them so he's climbing on things and fighting back with them. He can definitely handle playing with the big boys.

Scary shoes

Now that we are upon the Halloween season, Samwise and Frodo are fully aware of all that is scary. If we are out and about in a store and walk by the Halloween display, they point and say, "Scary." then run off to get the scary display out of view.

Frodo is not a huge fan of anything scary. Looking at halloween costumes was a difficult thing for him, so we definitely avoid any scary party stores.

Since it seems like everywhere we go there is a "scary" display, Frodo anticipates it when we are out and about.

Yesterday we went to the shoe store to get some new shoes for the twins, since all they've been wearing are sandals and the weather is getting cooler. When we walked into the store, Frodo grabbed my hand and came in close and said, "Oh scary." I told him that we were at a shoe store and that there were not scary things in there. He then let's go of my hand and says, "Oh okay", then waves at the shoes and says, "Hi shoes".

So cute, I had to share.

Kids say the funniest things pt 2

Today while driving around we were leaving a gated community and Tommy saw the gate was closed and said, "Oh no." Then when the gate opened automatically, he said, "Thank you gate."

On our way home, we picked up the mail and the boys Wiggle shirts arrived and they were both so happy. Trenton asked, "Did the mail buy it for us?"

The gal next door left her sandals here and Trenton said, "Lemme smell 'em."

What a day...

Today I took the boys to look at a potential preschool. I don't think I'm ready to cut the umbilical cords just yet but it was something I thought the boys would like. We arrived at the school and once the boys saw the playground they couldn't get out of the car fast enough. As we passed the playground and headed to the director's office, Tommy realized that we weren't going to play so he threw the biggest tantrum I've ever seen him throw. I'm sure once the director saw that she immediately made a mental note to not allow them in. She did say there was no room...hmm? We saw the classroom and the boys loved it.

Once I saw their reaction, I knew that two half days (Tues & Thurs 9am-12pm) would be something they would love, but I don't know if I can do it, they are my babies. I've already reserved spots for them for next school year at a preschool ran by a friend from church, so I'm thinking that I want to savor this school year with them at home, before they go off to school for the rest of their lives. Tuesdays we go to Barnes & Noble for storytime and I don't want to give that up. I'm not too sure what to do.

Well, both TnT were quite upset when we left the school so I took them to a park to play and they had tons of fun, but it was super hot so we didn't stay long.

I'll have to post some pics of our day, but it's uber late and I'm tired!!

Samwise...

Samwise almost set the fire alarm in church today, but he didn't. Thank goodness.
