This weekend the boys finally had their first haircut. After two years their hair was getting long and the cute curls started to fall out. Here are some photos of the big morning at Snipits for Kids.

Mommy's night

Daddy had to work late last night so it was "mommy time". We had a blast, I love my solo time with my boys. We read some books (see above photo)- the boys had fun bringing me every book from the shelf and running back and forth laughing while they brought me books- cleaning up wasn't so easy. We played with Elmo and Cookie Monster- Jackson likes to wrap them in a blanket and put them to "bed" in the clementine box :-). While we don't watch any television at home we do let the boys watch a little Sesame Street on the iPad. Shane and Jackson love the iPad- they run to the cabinet and Jackson says Elmo, Elmo. We watch about 10 minutes of Sesame Street and sometimes play the piano app- Shane knows how to get to the piano app on his own. Of course at 7pm the boys race each other up the stairs, brush their teeth and wash their hands, get in PJ's, read stories and off to bed. Lets not forget that they fight for mommy's lap during the story time part. They have gotten better settling down in the crib, I give them a kiss and we say good night and now are new little routine is that when I turn off the lights, they both make kissing sounds- they want me to go back and give them one more kiss before they go to sleep- I don't mind, I'll give them kisses for as long as they willl take them! Sleep tight little guys- mommy loves you.

Our neighbors had some construction done on thier home and Jackson and Shane found it very interesting to watch!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! We had an eventful Halloween weekend with trick or treating in Cusing Square Belmont and then the actual Trick or Treating on Halloween night.

Shane and Jackson carved a pumpkin with Trish and Shane really enjoyed that- he stood up on the chair and dug his hands in- Jackson did not like it so much- I don't think he liked the texture of the pumpkin insides. I also took the boys for a ride in the wagon and we looked at pumpkins and ghosts- Jackson loves to say Boo when ever he sees a ghost.

Trick or Treating: well Jackson caught onto the trick or treating very quickly and had no issue walking up and picking candy out of a bowl- in fact he would talk to himself on the way "up" the stairs stating up, up, up. Shane on the otherhand- wanted to be carried and cried some of the time but he looked pretty cute as Eagor and chasing after Keith to be picked up. We went to 6 houses and I think that the boys had fun.
