October 21, 2008--Overalls Day

Tuesday, Oct. 21st was Wear Overalls to Work Day in our house. With both sets clean, I dressed the girls in their best overalls for school. I had been waiting with anticipation for the day Avery could wear these, but it looks like I waited too long, because they barely fit her! Oh well, at least she got to wear them once...

October 19, 2008--Sitting like a big girl

Avery mastered sitting up early, and has developed a clear preference for seeing the world from that perspective. One day, while Addison was playing with her toy food at her table, I sat Avery there to see what she would do. She loved it!

October 13, 2008--Cooking with GrandMary

While my mom was in St. Louis visiting (and watching the girls), she let Addison help her make waffles. Addie really liked cooking, so I think I'm going to try to remember to let her help me with simple things while baking. I just got The Toddler Cookbook from the library which will give us some ideas.

October 11, 2008--Pumpkin patch

We returned to Eckert's in Belleville this year to choose pumpkins. And just like last year, the sun was blazing!

Feeding the goats is always fun.

October 5, 2008--Baby Dedication

In October, we had Baby Dedication at our church. Since the last dedication had been in March 2007 when Addison was dedicated, Brooklyn was dedicated along with Avery.

Avery was asleep through most of it, but woke up for the end with a very surprised look on her face--something akin to "Where the heck am I and who are all these people staring at me?"
