Too.... much.... chocolate...

We dressed up the boys and took them trick or treating this year.  They did amazing and had quite a lot of fun.  We were lucky to have Timmy, Uncle Paul, Aunt Jinny and Timmy's grandparents join us.  It is always so much fun to watch them all together.  Here are a few pictures of our evening...

New Gig

As of next Friday and for the next 9 weeks (minus a break at Christmas) I will be watching Natalia for the morning.  My best friend Brenda is starting up a company with her mother and they will be attending some sort of class for it.  So, she asked me if I was willing to watch Natalia for her.  I am more than happy to do so, especially for such a short period of predetermined time.  Besides she is such a cute and smiley little girl and the boys just love her.  Whenever she is around their first reaction is to kiss her.

I guess this will be a good trial to see how well I could handle an extra child... and maybe this will open up an opportunity for a little business of my own...???

My little men...

Here is just a few pictures of the two of them together that I just love.  Aren't they the cutest??

Animals....

We have recently been doing baby boot camp since Friday and it seems to have worked.  Both boys slept through the night last night!  Yay!!  I was finally able to get a good night's sleep.  They have been so good lately and have been in amazing moods.  They are at such a fun and cutue age!

As I type this the boys are "talking" to one another.  They just woke up from their naps and are probably telling each other all about the things they dreamt of.  For those of you that don't know (or haven't seen them), Steve and I built the boys two of a few animals that are hanging on the walls in their nursery.  The animals include: pigs, sheep, turtles, lions, elephants, zebras and giraffes.  The boys love pointing at them and having us tell them what they are.  We try to include the noises these animals make and they are now trying to imitate those noises.  My question is what noise does a giraffe make??  If anyone can give me a clue, please let me know...

Hair cuts...

Thankfully the boys' Aunt Kiki (my sister) came for a visit so that we could all get some much needed hair cuts.  Zachary was a champ and sat still the entire time!  He loves having his head rubbed so he just loved all the attention.  Nicolas is the opposite.  He hates having someone play with his hair, so the hair cut did not go as smoothly.  But the outcome was still adorable... if I do say so myself.  I also got a trendy little hair cut and I am very happy.

My Chipmunks

Just a post to show off my cute little chipmunks.  Here they are having a snack after their nap.  Notice how full their cheeks are... that's because they stuff as much in as they can so that the other can't have it...

My two boys wrestling already!

A kiss from Shadow

I popped by Brenda's house this morning to drop off some stuff.  We went in for a quick visit since the boys were very excited to see their Auntie B.  Brenda has a gorgeous, very well behaved black Lab named Shadow that the boys just love.  However, if I wasn't sure before, I am now.  Zachary is allergic to dogs.  He was licked in the face by Shadow and when I got home, this is what he looked like...

It's kind of hard to see in the picture but his whole right eye is swollen.  It was worse right next to his nose under his eye (the spot that looks the most red in the picture).

I guess this is something to add to the list when talking to the allergist next month....
