tis the season.

kicked off the chilly season with a little hot chocolate and ice skating downtown. we like to pretend were in ny (minus the large crowds). gosh i sure do love this magical time of year. can you even handle the tiny feet in skates?

the big three.

 so this guy turned three, believe it or not nov. 20th. he is at a super funny cute stage right now where i would love to freeze things for a bit and make it last just a bit longer. 

we had a nice party for him; the kids and i decorated party hats, made green frosted cake with m & m's, and were also able to have a fun day at the movies on his actual birthday courtesy of aunt Patty. it was a pretty awesome third i'd say for our sword fighting, avengers loving, strong guy. happy birthday Declan!! We love you so!

halloween 2012.

better late than never right. so i have a really strong man and a pretty girlie girl on my hands. declan settled on the hulk and ruby decided cathy seldon for this years halloween. lucky for me i found a pink fabric scrap at SAS for five bucks and some random gold bias tape at 10c/yd. not the best made costume but sure did make me laugh. unfortunately mr mikey didnt make the cut b/c im so lame, so we just dressed him up as a cute chubby stripey baby. good times had by all. thanks pete and emily for a great time!

oldie but a goodie.

i just found this old video that i absolutely love of ruby making declan laugh. its the best. and i can not believe he is going to be three so very soon (just 12 days away). kind of reminds me of our little mikey guy right now.
