Friendly's and Boo at the Zoo -

Saturday night we got the kids all dressed up in their costumes for Boo at the Zoo. We went to Friendly's beforehand with Jacob's family, which Luke LOVED! Any activity with Jacob makes it that much more fun. The kids ate free because they had their costumes on. It was our kids first time at Friendly's believe it or not.

The zoo was fun too! There will 1/2 a million people there but the kids didn't seem to mind. They had it all decorated and were handing out candy at different stations.

New Age Jack-O's

Our friends gave us these pumpkin faces. Super cute and the kids loved making their very alternative Jack-O-Lanterns this year...I intended to do the traditional as well but we didn't have time carve so it worked out.

My Very Own Bank Account

I took Luke to open his very own bank account today. A friend told me about a program at one of the local banks for kids. We took in all the dollars that Luke had received from holiday cards, mostly from Mimi and Nana. I had been saving them in an envelope for him. $60!! Not bad for a 3year old. He got a stuffed animal and his very own passport savings book to track his deposits. Every time he goes into the bank to make a deposit, he gets to pick out a to from the treasure chest. Not a bad deal. He loves the idea that this is HIS bank (different then the bank we usually go to). Cute little program....

I'm waiting to open Paige an account until she is a bit older and can understand the concept. She did manage to get a stuffed animal out of the deal.

Luke's Halloween Party at School -

Luke had his Halloween party at school today. So cute, all the kids all dressed up. They did a couple of songs then had a little party in his classroom.

Paige kept yelling "WHERE SPIDEY?!?" before they came out.




Looks like someone else in interestd in being Spiderman -

Paigey Too?!?

Today was Luke’s Halloween party at school. He was VERY excited to wear his costume (pictures coming soon). He was so excited for school and the Halloween party they were going to have.
Luke: “Mommy, can Paige come with me to school today?”
Mommy: “Yeah, we are all coming and going to watch your Halloween parade, Daddy, Paige and Me!”
Luke: “No Mommy, you leave Paige with me when you leave. She can spend the day at school with me”
I thought this was VERY cute, he wanted his little sister to stay with him for the day.
Luke: “I can show my friends Paigey”
Mommy: “She can’t stay at school honey; she needs to have her nap”
Luke: “How about she can come to school with me and have her nap when we get home. Is that a good idea, Mommy?”
It was all too cute. I hope they always want to spend time together 

Happy 35th Daddy!!

Daddy turned 35 today! It was a busy day. Not much time to celebrate. We started the day with a music card for daddy. Luke and Angie made the cake. After work, we sang happy birthday quick before getting in the car to go to Chase-n-Madison's for the weekend. Mom and dad spent the weekend in Portland Maine, the kids were having a cousin's weekend. Big fun for everyone!!

Just a Wednesday Afternoon in the Peabody Household...

Two funny things that happened today:

1)After bath time and as we were settling in for books, Luke was running at top speed into Paige’s room a hit his side on the footstool of her glider. As he was crying on the floor, Paige said, “What happened Mommy?” I explained to her why Luke was crying. She said, “Kiss it”. I thought it was very sweet that she wanted to kiss his boo boo UNTIL she walked over to the footstool and kissed it instead.
2)Tonight, Luke was able to watch one TV show before bed. I told him that after the show was over he had to turn the TV off and go to bed. After the show was over, I said “OK buddy time to turn the TV off!” Just as I said that I heard the “TV lady” say “Don’t go away, Curious George is coming up next” Luke then said to me, “We can’t turn the TV off, the lady said so!”

Luke's Drawings -

Luke drew these two pictures the other day. I thought they were pretty good, shows how far he has come...
