Little Musician




Jake certainly does love music. In the first picture, it shows his new favorite activity: "playing" the piano. He absolutely loves to sit in his bumbo seat next to the piano and bang on the keys.
Also, Daddy is showing Jake how to play the guitar. The one time Jake got his hand on the pic and Dad had to take it away quickly, because of course it was going straight for the mouth.

Going Trick or Treating


Since I took the kids to the daycare party, Mike decided to take them trick or treating while I passed out candy (although that was a bust since we only got about 10 trick or treaters to our house).
Mike carried Jake in the Baby Bjorn and pulled Rach in the wagon (at least for a little while when she didn't want to walk). Both of them had a great time. Jake would yell at other trick or treaters when they walked by and Rachel filled her entire pumpkin with candy!
Both kids were happy but tired when they got back. Jake was so tired he slept the entire night (7:30 pm to 6:15 am) for the 1st time ever! It was a "spooky" night for sure!

Daycare Costume Party

Daycare had a Halloween party on Friday for the kids. The kids don't normally go in on Fridays since I am off (and yesterday Mike was actually off too), but I wanted them to be able to show off their costumes and see their friends.
Rach, Jake, and I stopped by for an hour at daycare mostly so Rachel could see her friends in their costumes (and so she could pick up her bag of treats!). It was so cute to her playing with her buddies all dressed up. Here are some pictures of Rach with some of the kids in her "class".

Halloween Costumes




Halloween was a total blast this year. Here are some pictures of the kids' costumes. Jake was a monkey (that is a banana on the top of his head for the costume :-) and Rachel was a "little devil" (fitting her personality as of late jk).
