And I mean HE.GETS.IN.TO.EVERYTHING.HE.CAN.FIND. His favorite. You guessed it. Kitchen cabinets. I was really hoping I wasn't going to have to put child proof locks on our new cabinets...but that possibility is looking slim. He has now found the appliance cabinet and I caught him chewing on the

P got to pick out his own costume this year. That's right. No more of mommy's choice. BOO! But, hey, I knew if I was going to have any hope of him wearing it...it had to be something HE WANTED to wear. So. It begins. I let him choose his own costume. It's a good thing I can still control Bents's

My little men are so grown up. Bents is officially standing on his own...and minutes away from taking steps. Literally. I give it 2 weeks. And P...well...P is my little school boy now. He LOVES pre-k. He's so proud of himself when he stands there all alone. He gets real serious when he's

I guess I've been so focused on Halloween that I have neglected the blog this week. :) Here are a few pics from our trip to the pumpkin patch! We got there at 6:15 and apparently they close at 6:00...so there wasn't a lot of time. Luckily they did still let us pick out our pumpkins, but it was the

  It was so nice over the weekend that we decided to take the boys hiking. J's idea really. If you know me...I don't do "outdoorsy" hobbies much. Unless it's an outside shopping center. But sometimes (and only sometimes) I will agree to do boy things with my boys. Hiking is boy-ish to me.

P Man's babysitter went to college this year. It was a sad day for us...as we absolutely adored the way she watched our kids. It's hard to replace a good babysitter! But, we are proud of her for graduating and moving on to college. Just a little upset that college meant she was moving so far away.

 While we were in Chi-town we had the pleasure of meeting up with a twitter friend of J's, Mr. Matt Sapaula (aka "DA MAN" according to my husband).  I always love meeting people in person that you know from social marketing! It's so fun to put a face and voice with a twitter profile. Matt hosts

  J was coaxed by his friend Tom in to running the Urbanathlon in Chicago. If you know my husband...he is "superfit" (literally that is what his nickname is), but he doesn't run...EVER. He is a crossfitter. Crossfit and running...two totally different things. The urbanathlon is a 9 mile

  For just a brief moment this past weekend...I felt like I was in college again. And I quickly remembered how much FUN I had in college. I danced for 4 years on the college dance team and we were known as the "Saluki Shakers". Each year during Homecoming, they ask all of the Shaker
