LT gets a baby ...

BROTHER! He's just going to be so excited. He was already convinced it was a boy baby. It's his baby, he tells us. I asked if he was going to help change diapers and he said, "Yes, but I can't reach the table!"

Gingerbread House!

LT really wanted to make a gingerbread house last weekend, so I did what any mom would do: go to allrecipes.com and search for 5 star gingerbread and frosting recipes. Then a trip to Sur La Table for essential cutters and decorating gun.

Beginning!


Decorating!

And the best part, eating!


It turns out that this is a good use of Halloween candy. The rest has been hidden in my closet and has been forgotten for the past week, so it's probably about time to toss it. Once the parents raid their favorites, of course.

Christmas List

LT made up his Christmas Wish List. He insists it is not a Christmas List, just a Play List, since really he would like these toys at any time for any reason. It was tough, though, trying to fit every single toy in the ad on to his paper.



Note: it's hard to get a real smile and not a silly "cheese" grin.

Halloween Fun

Ugh. Our computer is not working very well, but finally here are the Halloween night pictures.

The Candy Train.


I think he got a few more candies than cousin JT. LT has never met a candy he didn't like. Except, maybe the gummy eyeball. He didn't try that one. We will be doling out 2 candies a day for the rest of the year, it looks like.
