Can I brag a little?

Getting ready for Disneyland... Auntie Colie bought the kids Disneyland pajamas to wear when we go. Can't wait and Maggie couldn't either cause she wore them home from Elk Grove and has been wearing them every night! This is her dance floor in her room that she made!














This is a bragging time for me which I rarely do but I really thought that Seanie was never really paying attention but recently he's been looking at his alphabet book ALOT. I noticed he would use his finger to say the letter. So I started asking him to show me a certain letter and he would actually get them right. I was laughing cause I was so amazed. I decided to try it with his letters in the bathtub and then the game on our IPAD and he really does know almost all his uppercase letters. So impressive! It was a proud moment! I was just happy he knew the ABC song!



How does Becky do it? I randomly ask her one morning to come over before church just to take a couple pictures of Seanie cause he just turned 2 and she ends up getting these great shots of our whole family. Soooo talented! Here's my baby who is now a big boy! It only took her 15 min. to get about 30 great shots!














Funny moments in the Poole House:
Me: Maggie, can you clean your room please?
Mag: Um, I'm so sorry but I can't help you because I"m getting ready to go on a date. (Picture her voice being very English, upaty, its the voice we use for playing dollhouse/Barbies etc).
Me: Oh, ok. With who?
Mag: Papa
Me: Oh, and what will you be talking about on your date?
Mag: Oh, just all the kids and how they scream a lot!
(That sounds like what Sean and I talk about on our dates) :)

Proud moment with Maggie: Every week at church she has been getting a special sticker for listening quietly to the Bible story.





This is his "come chase me" look. It's soooo him!
Some of his new phrases:

"Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry" He says it really fast and he'll say it to anything he runs into (Bailey, the table, a stuffed animal... etc).
"I sit right air" (air = there) He either wants to sit somewhere in particular or pats the seat next to him for me to "sit right air"
"I'm fine" He'll say this if he falls or if I ask him if he wants more of something so he'll say "I'm fine"

Conversations with a 2 yr. old
Me: Want to go to Disneyland?
Seanie: Deeland? Yep! Get a pumpkin?
Me: Nooooo
Seanie: Why?
Me: Because it's not a pumpkin patch you silly!
He tilts his head back and laughs.....
Seanie: Mee mouse???
Me: Yes, we will see Mickey Mouse!
Seanie: Ohhhhhh

Trick or treating with friends! I had to keep handing Seanie his bag and he would get candy and then give it back to the person cause he liked putting it in their bowl. I was happy cause we had enough candy at home.










I think Seanie had his costume for maybe 30 minutes. He didn't want "Elmoy" on his back! I'm just happy he wore something cause I tried Gavin's tigger costume on and you would've thought he was in a torture chamber. Elmo was a little better but than Halloween came and he didn't want to put it on.















Big crowd this year. Alot of the guys were back at my house watching football. Can you see DJ Lance Rock in the way back? He is from the kids show "Yo Gabba Gabba" cause he looks like him and acts like him!














Maggie at her preschool parade where they sang 6 songs and then had cookies. Her good friend is a police officer next to her and Gabe is behind him as a Transformer. Fun, Fun!!















Daddy had a date with Maggie but had to be called into Oakland for the protests. She cried but he promised the next day. But, he got called in again so he took about 30 minutes to carve with her having about 3 hours of sleep. She was so excited. What a good daddy!!!! Can you tell that she drew the face herself? Thank you Kenzie for the Halloween shirt and Auntie Colie for his Halloween shirt. :)







Seanie tried to help but he decided to be a bystander. Maggie and I had to take all the seeds out cause her dad thinks it looks like snot. Ha ha. The two things that make him sick is snot and chewed gum. I think this was Maggie's favorite day ever. She was beyond excited because she drew the face, and got to blow the candle out every night in the Jack O'Lantern.
