Elise officially started creeping on Friday! It is just too sweet. She can still be kept fairly contained and I am not trying to lure her too far, but she is definitely starting to get into more mischief. She managed to get herself over to the small toy basket in our bedroom today, tip it over and find all kinds of goodies. Trying to keep all those tiny little toys of Vinny's out of her reach is going to be tricky!
We officially have a spider man in our house! On Friday morning we had some company. Beckie stopped in with Noah and Quinn on their way to get some grocs and Dave's parents and Jesse and Bradley also stopped in and dropped off a tractor for Dave to try his hand at some tractor tune-ups and repairs. How many hobbies can one man get.... I do like just popping him a message and telling him to change my oil and check the air pressure in my tires, so I won't complain - at least not here or now since he is currently standing right next to me! So anyway, the kids were all playing and having a good time and all of a sudden Vinny comes out holding his halloween costume (I had it hidden -obviously not very well) saying 'mommy, mommy, what is this!!!!' so.... he has been wearing it ever since... all day yesterday, all this morning, I did not allow it to be worn to bed (this he found very upsetting and REALLY wants some superhero pj's since his superman pj's are for summer) or out running errands with Daddy this morning. Hopefully the costume lasts the week and can actually be used for trick-or-treating. He is just the happiest boy when he gets to dress up as a superhero. The super-man pj's were worn for several days in a row when they were new as well. Oh, to be 4 again!
Adelaide has developed a real interest in the idiot box -I mean tv. She was lounging watching one of her favorite shows yesterday and just very matter-of-factly stated in her quiet little voice 'I like TV'. That was it, no big show just laying around making a fact known to us. It really is very cute to see her get so excited when the SpongeBob theme song comes on. We shut the tv off frequently and she loves books too, but she really likes to veg a couple times a day. At this point our skinny little, often over-active kids need some down time to maybe gain an ounce or two! :) I decided today that we have lollipop children - tiny little bodies with big heads! As a side note - they love lollipops too! They all linger on the bottom or at least below half on the growth charts for weight, but they all manage to stay in the upper parts of the head chart. Makes the shirts tricky to try to get over their big melons.
Tonight we took the kids to Chuck E Cheese. They had such a blast and they even ate too (always a good night when that happens). They love the games and Adelaide loves the truck rides and car races. Elise just comes along to be cute. We have only been there a couple times, but they have such a great time. They get pretty excited about the crappy prizes they get to pick out. Adelaide got a lollipop and Vinny got a taffy candy and a glider plane that appears to be broken already - imagine that!
