penny, pull up your diaper!

aww, but my buns itch!





i guess i wouldn't be happy about wearing a diaper 24/7... not sure what was going on this night but she kept pulling her diaper down- doesn't do it anymore...

hair

now for those of you who just adore penny's curls and find it hard to believe that one day she will resent those luscious locks, it's only because you don't get to see this...













we think she was trying to grow dreads... as her mother i love her cute curls, but oh man it is not fun in the mornings! the pictures don't quite do it's justice but you get the idea. i have saved a few good hair mornings to share with the play group. sorry penny!

my little monkey

it only seemed appropriate that penny be a monkey for halloween. she is quite the climber and hangs on me all the time. i must say she made a cute little monkey. charlotte stopped by and we tried our hand at trick or treating. oh man did they like it. they caught on pretty quick... it was really cute to hear charlotte say happy halloween and for penny to say trick or treat. pen was really strutting her stuff down that street.



it was a little warm in the house...







penny didn't quite understand you weren't supposed to go in the house.


otterpops to end the evening. maybe next year she can have some candy she collected :)


little monkey hands...

October Birthdays!

David, lea and marc's birthdays are all in october. actually marc and lea share the same birthday- pretty random and fun! so in the grand tradition of sharing, we celebrated all birthdays in one evening. you would think i would post some pictures of the birthday peeps... nope. apparently penelope didn't grasp that this event was not about here. she was right in the middle of it all, "helping".


mmm... you going to eat all that?



shooz...



i guess this one is for you, again :(



look gramps!




here dad, you look like you could use some help


i can almost hear her say, "mine"


surprise surprise...

apparently i have not been as good as i thought i would about this blog. but here are some more pictures with what we have been doing...

about a month ago Anjuli, manoah, kelly, noah, mia, kara, kaden, penelope and I all went to the Wild Animal Park. after quite some time of playing and watching overheated animals, someone had the great idea to take the kids on the tram ride. kara wised up to this and decided she needed to get going so that left the rest of us- 3 toddlers, 1 new born and only 3 adults (we are out numbered here). we arrived to the line just as a tram was taking off... it was actually pretty fun and funny to see us all trying to confine them in the line. me on the ground feeding them crackers, granola bars and watching them crawl under the bars and anjuli chasing them down... don't you wish you could have been there? after 15 minutes of that another tram came and as we all said a prayer that we would get on that one, but alas we were 10 people away from the cut off. thankfully about 5 minutes later another one came and we had prime seating arrangements :) but really by the time we got on the tram they were into it, (well for the first 10 minutes at least) and we all had a good time. yes i would do it again :)






look at their excitement... the pictures say it all! geez moms, have you had your fun yet? can we please go now?



Gali, Penelope and I went to the childrens museum a few weeks ago. they had a great time...



they really played well together



and learned about earthquakes...


they were standing on balance board type things that simulated different types of earthquakes.

BUBBLES!


oh man did they have fun with this... they were a little upset when it was time to go :(
