Clinic Halloween Party
Trick or Treat
 |
| Ready to go at 2 in the afternoon ( a little early so I let him walk around our house to warm up) |
 |
| We stopped by my Granddads first where they all saw how Pretty (but somewhat grumpy) Lily was! Leo fell asleep in the car so we let him sleep (with Mike in the car supervising) while Lily and I visited. |
 |
| "Why so you keep handing me this bucket!?" |
 |
| "I don't see any candy?" |
 |
| She loves standing! |
 |
| Mike decided to make cookies before heading out to collect candy |
 |
| "Are you ready Lily?"... Lily actually fell asleep 2 houses in so Mike took her back to Grandma's while Leo and I finished our route |
 |
| Uncle Steve and Brenden did role reversals for Halloween |
 |
| Leo was all ready for candy... |
 |
| Until he realized he had to talk to strangers, He became SUPER shy and made this face at every house! |
 |
| So Mommy ended up saying trick or treat a few times... |
 |
| Then he got the hang of it and was a candy pro! |
 |
| He snuck a sucker on the way back to Grandma's... |
 |
| JackPot! |
 |
| Guarding their stash from the others... |
 |
| Trying to sneak candy from Noah's stash |
 |
| Lily woke up from her slumber and Daddy thought she needed walking lessons, Miss Tip Toes. |
 |

 |
| Relaxing after a full night of fun! |
Grocery Shopping
Grocery shopping with Leo and Lily is always somewhat of a challenge between Leo wanting to walk everywhere and having a donut along with any other merchandise the store is promoting at the time but Dillons started having two seater carts and that has saved alot of time! Leo still gets in and out but he does enjoy sitting next to Lily instead of in the cart squished with all the food. Oh the little things that make life easier!
 |
| Lily is telling Leo to stay in the cart by putting her hand on his arm. |

Grateful
Lily has been very busy lately she has been getting teeth in left and right (just as I predicted would happen around 15 months) and now she is FINALLY a crawler! I truly believe she was able to do months ago but why would she have to when she has big brother Leo fetching her all her toys? She is now on the move all of her waking hours so it is time to baby proof the house again even though with how adventuresome Leo is we have our house pretty "proofed" already. The fastest I saw her crawl was yesterday when I started Leo's bath, she was in the living room and the next thing I knew she was pulling up on the tub!
Speaking of baths Leo is very independent and has to do all his washing himself ( or so he thinks) including his hair, I tell him to rinse out his hair and he always ends up splashing water just in his face! I laughed a little and he must have liked the attention because he kept doing it over and over laughing at himself splashing water up his noise and his mouth over and over, silly boy!
Leo has really become such a little man lately, he amazes me with how clearly he is speaking (and repeating) and all the things he is learning. He is OBSESSED with trains still and still announces to the entire house when he hears one "Hear that whistle!" he says running around the house. Playing outside has been a dream the last month or so with the fall weather rolling in and we have enjoyed many evenings on the porch while he plays around with his soccer ball, car or whatever he finds interesting...like this poor squirrel that is always nut hunting by our trees.
Lily wakes up every morning saying "UM" I am not sure if she is telling me she is hungry by trying to say "yum" or if she is like "UM Mom come in here and get me!" but it so funny to hear her from afar muttering "um, um, um, mom"
Bedtime has become easier since we set a time for them to go to sleep (at the same time) we use to put Lily to sleep and then put Leo to sleep later but it was just interrupting Lily sleeping and we would have to start the whole process over. So now they just have to suffer it together which usually ends up with Leo in Lily's crib telling her "shh it's alright" and think just a year ago we couldn't keep him in his crib! Some night's he must be too tired to console her because I will hear him "Lily crying, come get her!" They are really cute together when they fall asleep side by side though.
When Lily wakes up in the morning or from a nap Leo always says "Good morning Lily!"
"Shrek" and "Puss in Boots" is still played on a daily basis, they are good to pop on to put him down for a nap!
When it starts to get dark right before Mike get's off work Leo will come to tell me "Sit on porch and wait for Daddy" so he goes outside and sits and waits for Mike to walk over from work, adorable.
We have really needed to tell Leo to stop sneaking June food, I swear she is eating like 5 meals a day. I have started to tune in to when He is about to feed her because I hear "Dune come get it, right here" and I then find him pointing to his dropped food in the kitchen. She eats it right up!
Leo also thinks every grocery store is called "Dillons" since that is where we go most often but the other day we were walking into Walmart and he felt like shouting to everyone that he was at Dillons getting a donut. Well he did get a donut so he was right about that, haha.
I am really enjoying this time lately with Leo and Lily they are becoming more and more playmates and Leo is growing so fast and I am very grateful I get to be at home with them and see it all happen!

Kisses and High Fives
Kisses and High Fives are two of Lily's favorite tricks right now. She has learned to give even her dolls kisses and she will raise her hand for you to high five. She laughs hysterically with the high fiving! Leo always comes running yelling "high five too" with his hand in the air. These tricks she actually has been doing for awhile now but she gets such enjoyment out of them still. What can I say?, whatever keeps them happy!

Cozy Evening
Since everyone has been feeling a little sluggish this week I thought to I would be festive and cook a very fall like dinner. Potato Soup and Cinnamon rolls, very delicious and warm! Lily enjoyed sipping the soup with her baby spoons and Leo of course just want the cinnamon rolls but that was very much expected. Overall it made the night feel cozy and the kids ate well.
 |
| This was my second try at potato soup from scratch and this time was the success. |
 |
| What he wore to dinner: toy story shirt and vest with spiderman pj pants...he made to sure to take off his sheriff hat before sitting at the table! |
 |
| Lily did enjoy the soup but she still needs her bottle before bed..Leo thought she might want her tinkerbell sippy cup , such a good brother! |
 |
| Dessert:YUM |
Wall Hangings
Our bedroom has been pretty bare since we moved into this house in May and FINALLY i got around to hanging up some arrangements I have had tucked away for months! They are simple but have made a huge difference!

Two Little Monkeys
 |
| Oh it's so true. |
Everyone has a head cold in the Walsh house this week...which leads to running the humidifier and very clingy children. I ran across this picture that sums up our sleeping arrangements while we all have colds...just add another child in the there and you have it.

Pumpkins
So the weather changed from 90 degree days to 60 degree days in like a week here in Kansas so I thought I would start on our fall pictures before it got any colder! Lily loved her little pumpkin and was very interested in the stem of all things but it kept her happy and we got a few good pictures! Leo on the other hand kept using it as a bowling ball so we will have to reattempt his pictures here in the next few days.
