Ready Set, Have You Met...

In the event you don't know, the end of that lyric is "Robocar Poli" which has been playing often in this house lately. Anias and Eli both love it, and with the spiders, ticks, rain, and overall grouchiness of a sleep deprived almost 2 year old I'm just going to roll with it.

Josh and I have been busy trying to fix up the house, but unlike those before and after seemingly instant photos it's taking over a month to just finish what we've already started, but we're getting closer! We're taking a long weekend together without the kids this week up in Chicago and I'm excited! It will be nice to explore a new place and see one of my favorite all-time bands: Beach House.


Anias: 23 Months



I say new words like...Poli (requesting the show Robocar Poli), mowing, kick it, mint, bike, night night, eat it, cereal, battery, sheep, chick, here you go Mama
My favorite food is...macaroni, but I also like hamburgers and won't hardly have a meal without my keifer
My favorite toy is...any and every car
Some other things I did include...figuring out how to play Eli's Lego game. I crawl into my car table because I'm too short to reach across. I love to watch Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood because it has a nice car- just like my favorite book Little Blue Truck. I'm on a sleep deprivation kick and have been waking up around 4am!


Eli:
 

I ask mom interesting questions like, "Does God have fun in my heart?" and protect Anias by telling him, "Baby- don't go outside alone. Someone might say 'Hey look! There's a free baby!'" I mispronounce skunk ("stunk") and I keep telling mom I'm going to marry her. I often offer her flowers before proclaiming we've been married. I was delighted to find out that pizza crust is stuffed with bread and I informed mom that though my white blood cells eat germs, they will eat cheese as well if they're very hungry. I was at swim lessons when a little girl wouldn't stop crying. It concerned me a lot and after a while I decided she must be crying because there are sharks in the pool. I started my last year of Pre-K and I had so much fun that I told mom I wanted to go every day!

The Velveteen Rabbit

We’re at week 32! Only 8 more weeks to go. Yesterday we had our final baby shower and it was just adorable. My in-laws threw us a Velveteen Rabbit themed shower. Take a look at these pictures my sister-in-law took of all the sweet decorations. Isn’t it just adorable? I was so sad to tear down the diaper cake, but that wreath is going to go on his nursery door I’m sure. Eli is so lucky to have a crafty grandmother. Not only did she decorate the shower, but she also made him a ton of personalized burp cloths, onesies, pants, blankets, and bibs. Aren’t they soooo cute? I’m thinking about changing his going home outfit to be his little lion onesie she made him with his name embroidered on it. We’ll have to see! Oh and that bear backpack! Isn’t it precious? I can’t wait to pack it up for him to go out to his Mimi’s. He’ll just love it.                     Now for his week 32 check in… Weight Gain:   29 lbs in 32 weeks. Crazy! I did gain 5 of those lbs wh

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

I’m so depressed! The Halloween party we were planning was cancelled (yea-that means we cancelled it). I LOVE love love Halloween, but I’m okay with a low-key night since many of our friends are going to be out of town the weekend we had planned to throw the party. Last year Josh and I spent time handing out candy to neighbor kids and watching the shining. Of course I decorated like crazy, but this year I think I’ll probably keep the decorating outdoors and use the food to celebrate the occasion. Here’s what I had planned food-wise for the Halloween Party. For (eh-hem, real food) snacks.         Trick or Treat Turnovers                                                       Pizza Mummies For crunching and munching on                   Scarecrow Crunch For dessert       Candy Corn Rice Krispies                        Monster Mash Pudding                  Pretzel and Brownie Skeletons I’ll probably let Josh pick out what I make for the occasion since all of it looks SO good
