Playing Dress Up & Down

So Jake has been way into his Halloween costume lately. He wears it everyday. He won't listen to me unless I call him Curious George. He'll say things like, "I think the monkey wants an orange..."


Girls are way fun! I made this tutu for Gracie for dress ups and she loves it! (not really). It's probably scratchy. She doesn't like the grass either so that didn't help. My mom was making fun of me because I was having so much fun dressing her up but Gracie acted like I was torturing her. She's going to be a bald eagle for Halloween (which I made for Jake and was quite the undertaking i.e. like 20 hours of work and a lot of money). This was just for fun. I'm sure she'll appreciate it more when she's older.



Gracie is crawling all over the place. She climbs stairs (and falls down them sometimes) and pulls herself up on everything. She laughs every time she stands up. I think she's way proud of herself. Cute thing!

Jake has also been way into getting himself dressed. This day he came out and announced that he was ready to go wearing nothing but a cowboy hat and flip-flops. I handed him a bowl and snapped a picture. He is seriously the funniest kid! He makes me laugh everyday; just like his dad. Ignore the pile of clothes on the floor. Messy kid!


By the way, I am totally insane and am refinishing my kitchen cabinets. Whoa, big project!!! I told myself it would take a good three weeks minimum, but I didn't take into account my carpel tunnel syndrome in my wrist acting up. I'll post pics when it's closer to getting done. Hopefully it looks pretty! Hopefully my wrist recovers quickly so I can get working again.
