Slippers!

One of the fun things about colder weather is getting to buy new slippers! They picked their own this year. Spider-Man and Elmo.

Too cute not to post!

Happy Halloween!

Trip insisted on being Spiderman for Halloween this year (big surprise!), so we tailored Anna Kate and Wills to match their super hero brother. Anna Kate dressed as Wonder Woman, and Wills was the spider that bit Spiderman. We went trick or treating with our friends the Walkers (also dressed as super heroes Cat Woman and another Spiderman).

Watching Anna Kate walk up to each door and say "trick or treat" and "thank you" was probably the cutest thing I've ever seen. I think I said, "she is so cute" about a hundred times tonight. People at each house agreed, some even asking if they could take pictures of her. She was running from one house to the next as fast as her little toddler legs could move.

One of the funniest parts of the night was how completely amazed Trip was at how many Spidermen there were and the different variations of the costume. Every other little boy that walked by had some kind of Spiderman costume on, and each and every time Trip would say, "Wow, look at that Spiderman ..... Oh wow! LOOK another Spiderman!" as if he had never seen that particular costume before.

Trip got to stay out extra late collecting candy with his friends. When he got home, he and J spread out the "loot" to inspect. Trip kept opening new suckers before he could finish the last one. He is definitely not a child that understands delayed gratification. Especially when it comes to suckers.

Wills was a trooper and put up with the trick or treating for long enough to get through a few neighborhoods. Next year I'm sure he will be right there with his big brother and sister.

Early hair loss

This is how much hair has fallen out in the past 24 hours! It has happened with all of my kids, but Wills' has been the most dramatic. My sweet bald boy :)

Life with 3...

How do I describe the transition from two kids to three?

Life with three can be peaceful and sweet.

Like a sleeping baby.

 

Or a big brother telling his little brother life stories on a beautiful Fall day.

 

 

 

Life with 3 kids can also be silly, and is almost always entertaining.

Like these two "big kids" playing in the sink while they brush their teeth.



Or building a spider web, which I'm pretty sure they both think is more for Spiderman than for an actual spider.

 

 

Here, they are testing out parts of their Halloween costumes...

(You might be able to spot Wills joining in on the fun in some of these pictures)

 

 

 

 

Life with 3 can also be frustrating. Like getting stuck in your baby brother's infant carrier :)

And one thing is for sure.

Life with 3 is MESSY!

Why paint the "treasure boxes" Mom bought for us to decorate when we can paint the table and our faces and bodies?!?
