I love these faces

Halloween

This year I wasn't up to making their Halloween costumes, well except I made Aurora's tutu and hat... Holden & Wilson are ninjas, Josef is a dinosaur, and Aurora the cutest little witch in town!

Helping Mom

Aurora likes to sit in the bumbo, and hang out with me in the kitchen.  She also loves to suck on her hands and fingers.

So Peaceful

Josef, Aurora, and I had a lot of errands to run this morning.  There is nothing better than shopping while looking at this sweet face:)

What a cute witch...

Oh, she makes me smile...

I was trying to get a picture of Aurora smiling, and I am just not fast enough...

Ms. Witchy

What is a witch without her hat?  

I had to try on her hat...I still need to work on it a little more...but it is coming together:)

Josef

 Josef got his shoes and socks on this morning.  Yes those are flaming baby legs, American flag baby legs, and skull socks...he is a character:)

 Josef loves to take my phone and play with it, and take pictures too!  I found these pictures on my phone when I downloaded the picture of Josef's socks.  Josef also like to wake Aurora up...I think that is what he did in these photos.  He goes in her room, climbs on her bed, and yells at her...it drives me CRAZY...I am so grateful for a happy baby that is rudely woken up, and what does she do...she SMILES at him!!!!

Big Girl PJs

 Aurora's feet and toes have been peeking out of her infant gowns for awhile now...so she is finally in big girl pajamas!

 I was hoping to get one of her smiling...but that did not work...cute face anyway:)

Pumpkin Patch

 That is one cute scarecrow!

 What a cute witch???

The kids are out of school, so Ken took the day off, and we went to the Pumpkin Patch.  Emily, Stone, and Taft went with us too!  

Bad Mom & Dad

 Ken and I were cleaning out the storage room this morning - it will be nice to have it all organized before all of the Christmas craziness starts!  Aurora was watching us, when Ken checked on her she had fallen asleep! After the pictures I took her upstairs to her bed - she is such a GOOD baby -  I am SO grateful:)

More Aurora

The Ghastlies

 I was going to buy a frame at DI and paint it black, but instead my aunt gave me this frame that she had...

 I framed one of the witches and dracula...

I love this fabric!  I have had it for a couple of years, and have finally done something with it!

10.11.12 She is 12 weeks old!

I can't believe she is 12 weeks old!  She is such a pleasure, and we are so happy to have her.  Her brothers still love and adore her (almost to the point of making me CRAZY!)  They love her so much, they have shared their yucky nose's with her... She is a great sleeper (last night from 8:30 pm til 6:45 am!), and she is a good eater.  She loves to hang out with the family, and watch all the craziness around her. She is smiling, and chatting too!

Josef fell asleep with the Ghastlies

Josef did not sleep very well last night, and so of course neither did I...luck for him he could crash out watching Spookley the Square Pumpkin!

I finally finished by Ghastly pillows for Halloween. I would have had them done last week, but when I got my sewing machine out, I realized two of my presser feet were missing,,,,I am sure the culprit was Josef...
I borrowed Aunt Becky's featherweight sewing machine, and finished the pillows this morning!

Family Portraits

 When my mom & dad came up for Aurora's blessing, we had family portraits taken.  Here are just a few of my favorites!  I can't believe I am this ahead of the game for Christmas cards...

Thank goodness for head swaps...of, course the only ones that needed swapping were my boys...I don't know why it is so difficult to get all three to look at the camera at the same time!  Wilson is going through an interesting smile phase...so, I figured I will be happy to look back at these and smile!

 This is a perfect example of Wilson's "phase"!

Decorating Pumpkins

 The boys decorated some pumpkins yesterday afternoon...they are so ready for Halloween!

He looks just like his pumpkin???

Happy Aurora

Holden loves to talk to Aurora, and obviously Aurora loves to interact with him!  Aurora is staring right at Holden's face.

Aurora is so HAPPY!  She loves to chat and smile.  She is such a joy to her whole family!
