Fall

Here's a bit of what we've been up to over the past few months:

1.) London, started dance class in September.  It's a ballet/ tap combo. She loves dressing up, going to class and twirling in front of the mirror.  However, she does not love listening or following directions, or waiting her turn.  Needless to say, it's usually a gong show, but she's always entertaining to watch.





2.) This little guy is growing up way to fast.  He's starting to act like less of a baby and more of a little boy, which is bittersweet.  He loves cars, trains, animal sounds, books, hide-and-go-seek, food and Katy Perry's song Roar. We love his goofy personality.



3.) It's getting colder outside, which means we have been spending more time indoors....boo for winter.....




4.) London  has out grown naps.  Her favorite time of the day is when Mason naps and she gets to stay up and play with me. Sometimes when he wakes up from his nap she will say, " put Mason back back to bed!" She loves giving me make-overs, or "playing match maker" as she calls it (from Mulan).  Here is the after pic....what do you think??


4.) We went to a Detroit Piston's game this month.  It was great!  Mason, wasn't loving it at first, especially when they turned the lights off to announce the starting line up, but he warmed up quickly.  The cotton candy might have had something to do with it.  London, loved the craziness and loudness and cotton candy too!  We had awesome seats, London and I had our 5 seconds of fame on the big screen, and Darcy even managed to catch a ball and a T-shirt thrown into the crowd.

Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween week.  It started with a Party at the YMCA, where the kids enjoyed treats, games and a bouncy house.  On the 30th we had a playgroup party at the church with our friends, with more treats, crafts and games.  On the 31st it was my turn to host Joy School, so obviously we had another Halloween party!  The kids made play-dough  spiders, decorated ghost cookies, read spooky stories, and played games.  Then of course, we went trick or treating that night.  It was raining that night so the kids lasted less than 20 minutes (which was fine by me).
It was a busy and sugar filled week but the kids loved it!  Oh, and do you think I took any pictures? Nope! I am the worst!!! Darcy, was able to take a video of London at the YMCA party, and I got a couple after trick or treating.

Mason as a Dinosaur

He loves candy!

London as Princess/ Unicorn.  She had a hard time deciding on a costume, so a different princess dress was worn each time.

side view.  I have to say the unicorn was adorable!
