Halloween 2014

We made a lot of memories this Halloween.  We wen to the annual Rowley family Halloween party where the kids got all dressed up in there costumes for the first time.  We played games and ate food and had tons of fun! Halloween day Boston got to wear his costume to preschool and took his pumpkin he painted (we painted them this year rather than carve them).  He came home with the ribbon "prettiest pumpkin".  That night we had Jack o lantern Papa Murpheys pizza and then set out to the school carnival.  I was unable to go through any of the booths with the kids because I volunteered to help for a half hour and ended up being the the only who showed up to help.  Luckily Travis and Darrell and Susie were able to take the kids around.  After the carnival we went back to our house and Susie and I took the kids trick or treating around our neighborhood.  I love that my kids live in a safe neighborhood where the kids can walk around from house to house and we know who our neighbors are.  I love there are so many kids here.  Addy went trick or treating with her friends (Peyslie and Peshanie) for the first time with out a parent as well.  Luckily they only went around the block.  Our costumes was supposed to be a candy bar family.  Travis was intended to be a sugar daddy and I a lifesaver (never was able to make or order our costumes in time), Addy was a Tootsie Roll, Boston was intended to be a Big Hunk (he was for family party but wanted to be Wolverine for Halloween day), Emmy was a Mounds candy bar with the words "Some dont" and Max was an Almond Joy candy bar with the words "some have nuts".  It was a fun holiday and we made some good memories. 

5 Months Old

At 5 months old, Emmy and Max are alert and active.  They are busy little people, which in our little family means they fit right in,

Emmy weighs 13. 5 pounds (about).  She prefers to sleep on her belly which makes me very nervous.  The second after I put her on her back, she rolls right back on her belly,  She is all over the crib though, so she and Max still sleep in seperate beds.   She is really smiley and smiles with her whole face so big!  She adores Adelyn!  Shes teething also and has developed the habit of sucking her thumb.  I have tried to put gloves on her, but I dont get them on her fast enough,  I am trying to stop the thumb sucking early (I sucked my thumb till I was 14), but she is so cute and so determined to do it.  I think it helps her teething situation.  She is a very pretty girl.  Today I had 3 different people tell me how pretty she is.  She is bigger than Max still, but I hope as time goes on eventually this will change,  Her hair is getting very long and she had her first hair cut (just her baby hair).  Her hair is going blondish brownish with a tint of red just like her mamma.  

Max is such a fun boy!  Like his brother Boston he loves all things boy already.   He loves to watch T.V. and especially football.  He is such a happy boy but gets pretty jealous if his sister is getting more attention than him.  He really loves to be held. He is very social and loves people.  He has a hard time taking naps during the day because he is afraid he will miss something, yet when he is really tired, it doesn't matter where we are he will sleep.  He is smaller than Emmy but I am guessing he is still 13 pounds. He is such a joy to have around and I love seeing his personality coming to be.

It was their Halloween too!  We went to the school carnival and then went the babies stayed home with Travis while we went trick or treating.  Here are their first Halloween Costumes:
