November!

As I start off every entry–time flies! Seriously–where does the time go? Things have been busy around here! We’ve been busy at work. Christmas Open House is this weekend and we are so excited! It is funny because this is the 1st year that my babies have been really old enough to get really excited about a Holiday and to know what is going on.  And for Halloween, they were Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Dr. Suess –Cat in the Hat. They were so anxious to wear their costumes and get candy! There is always a little “boo parade” each year downtown for all of the businesses, but that also happened to be the day everyone was putting out Christmas decorations because of Open House being the next weekend! My babies were seeing Jack-o-lanterns and Christmas decorations everywhere downtown –so needless to say they have been kind of getting the holidays a little confused! They loved their costumes,and loved talking about them throughout the days before Halloween! They loved telling people who they were going to be! We love reading Cat in the Hat (especially Isabella) Their 3rd birthday party is even going to be Cat in the Hat themed!

Isabella loves reading, playing with playdough, eating smarties, dancing, all girly things, singing, and loves playing with her babies! She has just started carrying around this baby doll with her. I think it is precious! Just today while we were riding down the road, she was in the backseat talking to her. This was her exact quote, “Baby–You have got the most beautiful hair and your eyes are so cute!”  She is so expressive and I just love watching her tell stories. Her and Landry both are definitely good at giving compliments—they each tell me several times a day—-”Mama, You are my best friend and you are so beautiful!” They are good for my self esteem! They are so sweet to each other too! The other day when Isabella was crying–Landry said, “Whats wrong with my best friend Bella?” Except he pronounces the ll as w. Landry loves playing with cars and trucks! He is 100% boy! He loves talking about tractors and dumptrucks. He also loves playing ball. He loves football, baseball, basketball, golf, tennis–you name it! He also likes playdough, being outside, riding his bike, throwing rocks in the water, and dogs! (Isabella does not like dogs at all) Funny how they are so alike and so different! They both love bubble baths, coloring and drawing, singing, and our newest favorite is watching Barney! They are borderline obsessed!

Sorry for the random information that I put in my entries–but since this is the closest thing I have to a baby book–it will have to do! –Isabella weighs 29 lbs and is 36 in tall and Landry weighs 31 lbs and is 37 in tall. Isabella was sick a couple of weeks ago (10/19–on Sams birthday) It was either a viral infection or the flu—dr. was never exactly sure—but from that week on Isabella has been in LOVE with club crackers—I am telling you the truth when I say that she was eating at least 40 a day! It was unreal! She would eat them right when she woke up, with her breakfast, for her snack, with her lunch, for her afternoon snack, with her dinner, and before bed—you get the picture! It was unreal–she still loves them but has slowed down on them a little! I was afraid she had a sodium deficiency or something–I even asked the dr. about it!

Well, I will seriously post some pictures soon–we have been having some computer problems and I have not been doing anything with my trillions of pictures! Happy Fall!
