Looks like we have a future pole dancer among us…

Marley and Me...

Marley is soooo good with the kids. He LOVES to be right there...baths…bedtime…feeding (especially feeding time!) he is always right there. Sometimes he is TOO much right there. Being 95lbs and having no social awareness, he often gets in the way. But we love him all the same :)

Halloween Hangover/ Dinner with Friends...

Someone had a hard time accepting the fact that Halloween was O-V-E-R. Luke kept asking to put the Halloween decorations back out and insisted on wearing his costume for days after. Any time we would mention someone, he would said “what are they being for Halloween Mommy?” I had to sit down with him and have the hard talk “Halloween is over honey, until next year” After a week or so the Halloween talk subsided.


At dinner one night this week, Luke INSISTED on having his bunny and bear eat too. So I humored him and put them at the table.

This was not good enough. They had to have napkins, Luke spread out just so. AND apparently they have dietary restrictions because Luke said “no mommy, they don’t eat Cheerios, they eat bananas” Well excusessssss me. So cute :)

Conversation with an almost 3 year old….

Mommy: “Luke, you have to start thinking about what you want for Christmas”
Luke: “Christmas?”
Mommy: “Yeah buddy, remember, we put up Christmas decorations and a Christmas tree and if you are a good boy, Santa comes and brings you presents”
Luke: “and reindeer and snowman decorations”
Mommy” Yes buddy, that’s right! So what do you think you would want Santa to bring you this year”
Luke “Pancakes”
Mommy: “You want Pancakes?”
Luke: “yeah”
Mommy: “Ok, we’ll see what we can do about that, what else would you want, what toys”
Luke: “pancakes”
Mommy: “Yes, honey, we’ll tell him to bring you pancakes but he also brings toys. What toys do you want?”
Luke: (playing with a orange matchbox car) “I want Santa to bring me an orange car”
Mommy: (Getting nowhere, hands Luke a toy catalog) “Look at the toys in here, what do you think you would want Santa to bring you”
Luke: (looks for a while and finally points to something) “I want this one Mommy”
Mommy: (Excited that they are finally getting somewhere here, looks at what he picked) “Oh, buddy, you already have that train table, remember Santa brought it for you last year”
Luke: (Very excited and proud of himself for picking it out!) “YEAH MOMMY!”

Should we be concerned???

Luke's new favorite song to listen and dance to is "Girl's Just Want To Have Fun" asks for it ALL THE TIME these days....

Happy Halloweeeeeennnnnn…

We had a great Halloween. We went to a party, on the next street over with all the neighborhood families. From there we left, a pack of kids, parents, wagons and wheeling beer carts. We quickly learned, as this was our first Halloween, that things get CRAZY in our neighborhood. I looked down the street at some points and it was just a huge mass of kids and parents.

Luke the Dinosaur and Paige the Pumpkin did great! Luke was LOVIN’ the trick or treating as Paige just strolled along in the wagon until she got too tired to sit upright.

Vanilla Ice Ice Baby....


All ready to go to the party...


Mommy the Witch and Lukie the Dinosaur - an odd couple but it worked...


Where is the green dinosaur, somewhere in the sea of kids...

High Chair Dancin’

We’ve posted lots of pics/video of Luke dancing, looks like another one is getting her rhythm too…

Halloween Party # 2

Friday, I went to ANOTHER Halloween party at what I call "the little school". Again, got to wear my costume. It was LOTS of fun. We came outside to see the mommies and daddies there to hand out candy. I was able to brush up on my trick or treating skills for the big night!

Everyone loved my costume. I was not all about sitting for the class picture...I dodged out after 10 seconds or so..he he!! Dinosaurs don't sit for pictures....

Then we went back inside for ANOTHER party with more goodies. Mom says I'm going to be made of sugar before this holiday is over!

Halloween Party # 1

I had a party at "the circle school" on Thursday. We got to wear our costumes (my favorite part) and sang some songs. Then we went back to the classroom for a party and some yummy treats. See below...

This may be one of the funnier video's we posted. The kids are all supposed to be doing a routine to the song, as the teachers are. So funny to see them all...well, you can check it out. See out little dinosaur on the end :)

UH OH! Watch out...

Check out the headline on the bottome of the page. The hunt is on.....
