"mommy you are christmas"

lately aaron and i have been amused at sadie's comments
sadie what do you want for christmas
"pillows and the color green"
every night she sings herself to sleep
the songs usually go like this
"i bumped my head, i love daddy, i played with declan, go to the doctor, i love daddy, babe, baby, i read to much books"
and every morning she wakes up with a similar song
"i read to much books and play i love daddy"
baby usually wakes sadie up every morning with a big wet kiss i put him in bed with her and and she hugs and hugs and tells me how much she loves baby
baby is starting to realize his name is silas and not baby
anyway.......
baby silas is crawling forward!!!!
most of his motivation is either for food or me
he is pulling himself up in the crib and loves to stand
he locks his knees when you pick him up because he will not sit unless he falls from standing
he is saying "ma mamama ma" and "da da da da"
his favorite saying though is "na na na na"
he did say "moo" for cow the other day which delighted sadie to no end
he is also clapping his hands
so aside from the fact that number 2 is now becoming mobile we have been hanging low getting ready for x-mas
do not tell sadie but she totalyl scored
yes we got presents already

• sadie and silas - got a train set
• sadie - a doll house
• silas - a light up stacking game

if you want x-mas ideas for sadie and silas here it is
(we are not opposed to second hand items at all)

• sadie loves clothes!!!! she is a size 3t top and 2t bottom
• sadie- jammies
• silas also love clothes but he only needs jammies he is in 12 month
• sadie is totally into dora or super why
• silas likes to sort things and loves textures - he asked for a pony but i don't think babe would like that
• silas would love some big cars to roll around on the floor
• aaron and becky LOVED the movie land of the lost with will ferrell

okay that is all for now
hope everyone is doing well sending our love
soon it will be turkey day
yipppppeeee! another day off i do love this time of year
it is all about food and days off

new haircut!

the before and after picture:
sadie had fun at the salon getting her haircut
really it was a trim off the back but she was able to eat crackers, drink juice and watch dora!
i mean how fun...not sure if the dentist will bring the same sort of fun but
she was a little scared by the blow dryer which was fine since it was 70 degrees out it was better go au natural
we had a fun weekend of playing in the yard with the leaves and enjoying the last drops of sunshine before the winter gray pulls a blanket over cleveland
silas loves playing with the leaves and only tried to eat one before he realized it was not that tasty
this week is my last week for one of my classes! yipppeeeee!
that means only three more to go until i graduate
oh man the day i graduate...........
aside from that nothing much is going on
getting the menu ready for turkey day and buying xmas presents at least thinkin' about buying xmas presents
not sure yet but we think sadie and silas are getting a train for xmas
silas is pulling himself up and has made a few crawls forward though seems totally bored with the idea of crawling and is putting more time into a crab walk
sadie finds this great
and loves the idea of having a permanent playmate just so long as he only plays with the toys she lets him paly with
enjoy the days of sun and warmth
until next week

happy halloween

we had a wonderful halloween
sadie and declan totally scored on the candy
and cookies
i think sadie consumed 5 cookies in one sitting
though she may have had more that we are not aware of
eitehr way by the end of the day she was running around the house with no mission or goal
just running and running
which of course means that when it was time to go to bed tears were shed then crash out when the light and she was out snoring away happily!
silas was dressed and ready to go but it was bed time
so after a few fusses off to bed he went
he did wake up in time to meet lucille and was fascinated by her
kept trying to pet her and kiss her
lucille is such a cutie only one month old!
she came dressed as a biker babe so maybe this is what got silas's attention
either way we did get a few pictures but most of the night i was running!
sadie loved passing out candy to all the kids so was outside most of the night charming her fans
now it is time to get ready for turkey day and x-mas! can not wait! okay so we like the holidays
