Oink Oink Oink

Three little pigs joined us for Halloween this year. They were trying to decide if a barn would be an effective house against the big, bad wolf.

They forgot that they have to be inside the building to hide from the wolf! That Kyra made a good stand-in wolf during our preschool field trip.

This little piggy had to use his tip toes to propel forward.

This little piggy lost his snout.

This little piggy is a touch nervous.

Hey, the first piggy again! He's found a vehicle more suitable for his size.

These little piggies like to be airborne.

In a grand move of inter-species politics, the piggies and the wolf sit down together to figure out how to play duck, duck, goose.

Also, here's our pumpkins! On the left, Dash described the pumpkin face he wanted and Sean carved. In the middle, Liam drew a face and I carved. On the right, Grey scribbled some eyes, Dash drew the rest and Sean carved. A true collaboration.

The magic of a pumpkin's glow. Happy Halloween, oink oink oink!

Rusty Update

IMG_9230e
You remember Rusty, right? We're a couple months into our little routine of caretaking and things are now running smoooooth.

After a couple weeks, he got in a nice routine of long naps and that made all the difference. Now he's full of smiles and seems to enjoy hangin at the Bradley pad. He definitely prefers when I'm holding him but now he's a pro-sitter-upper, that helps him get excited for toys.

But I'm pretty sure his most favorite time of day is when mommy arrives. Giant mega uber smiles.

Incidentally, I brought out the baby swing when I was informed that Rusty really likes his swing. Well, he lasts about 10 seconds in my swing before wailing. Fail. BUT my kids adore the thing and it has become the most coveted seat in the house.

And I must add, my kids so enjoy Rusty. They're so excited for his arrival, love sharing kisses, love fetching him from his naps, love finding toys to share with him. I love that they're so happy to share their home with him!
