Halloween!!!

These babies had so much fun tonight!! Annalee was just enamored with everything, from the pirate hat I made for Jude to her own Lady Bug Costume to all the people dressed up out in public, to of course, the CANDY!! Jude was just trying to figure out what in the world was going on with everyone...but was definitely happy to have a Halloween cookie :)

This is Annalee eating a Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Spider today that I made...she liked it, but thought it was funny more than anything...



And this is Annalee trying on Jude's Pirate Hat and Eye Patch...




And Annalee in her Lady Bug Costume...Most stinkin cutest lady Bug I've ever seen with her little blond curls poking out...



Jude as the sweetest Pirate EVER!!



Everyone got quite a kick out of his costume...



But he really didn't want to sit still for photos...




He was to busy trying to look at Annalee...his most favorite person in the world...



And then Miss Annalee has a cool lady bug...this got a few laughs in Publix...

11 months

Jude is 11 months and 9 days old...I am officially planning his 1st birthday party...I just can't believe it, the time has just flown by, and he is such a joy to have in our family. He seriously has the best sense of humor for an 11 month old. He laughs ALL the time! he loves to play peek a boo, he will hide behind anything he can find and pop out just to get a laugh and "where's Jude" he'll put mooie over his face or cover just one eye with a hand and wait for me to say "where's Jude??? and then he busts out laughing!

If I see him headed to something he's not supposed to mess with like, the toilet, or the drawer under the oven or the dog food bowl or TV or the fireplace...etc etc...I'll call out his name and he will take off running (well, fast wobbling anyway)...it's so funny, and so cute...

And he's sweet, he loves to snuggle and kiss and be held, especially at bedtime, and I swear he would let me hold him with our cheeks squished together all day long if he could figure out a way to play at the same time!

He loves blocks, and pull toys and banging absolutely any two objects together to see how much noise he can make. And he will walk into our bedroom and just stare in awe at the guitars hanging on the wall and say "da da da da da da" over and over...

Here are of few pics of him this month that I feel capture his personality right now...





I love this last one so much...just pure joy on his face, and I can't explain it, but I am totally in love with those little top teeth, they make me happy...I know it's weird...

Dress up

The other day Annalee said she wanted to dress up like "Cindawada"...so she headed into her room to find her fancy dress, but I guess she found her TuTu first, and came out for me to help her put it on...and then she went back to her room and came out with her white Easter hat on... and for some reason the hat made her think she should be gardening, so she wanted to add my gardening gloves to the ensemble...and then of course go out and garden...in the pouring down rain...which wasn't happening...but I did manage to get a picture of her in this funny get up as he stood by the back door trying to convince me to let her go outside...

Funny

This is where I found Jude the other day...






I thought it was hilarious...something about his little self sitting fully clothed on the potty, just made me giggle...it's the little moments that keep you sane...or make it blaringly (I don't think that's an actual word) clear that you most definitely are not!

Pumpkin Patch

Today was a good day...We had an awesome service at our church, came home to a great lunch and then decided to put off nap time and head to a local pumpkin patch at Niven's Farm...the babe's had a great time! They got to see, pigs and cows and baby goats and pregnant goats and sheep, and llama's and ponies and turkeys and chicken and even baby chicks!

Plus they got to play in the pumpkin patch and on all sorts fun things the farm has set up just for kids...like a Tee Pee!


Annalee looking at the animals...




The best I could get of this one...




Annalee in the tunnel thingy...it took a couple of tries for her to get all the way through...






But she finally did it!!


On the tire jumpy thingy...yeah I have no idea what these things are called...but the kiddos loved them!


Then we were off to the pumpkin patch!!

Jude really liked the pumpkins! Thought they were hilarious!!




then, we headed home, as it was evident the kiddos feeling the whole no nap thing...got home around 4 pm...only 3 hours late for the afternoon nap...they napped about an hour and both woke up screaming...that continued until I could them a snack and get them outside where daddy was starting the process of putting up the swing set (more details in a later post...) and the grumpiness continued until after we came in and had dinner...it was a nice reminder as to why I keep them on a good sleep schedule...

But it was a good day, and both are sleeping soundly now...ahhhh....

It's a........

Perfectly healthy....Boy!! Baby boy #2 for the Scott family!!! We are so thrilled! He and Jude will be best friends!! I can't wait!

Here are a few ultrasound pics, and of course the PROOF!!

His sweet little profile...although he wouldn't be still long enough to get a super clear picture....



This is how he was laying the entire time, with his feet up over his head!!






And of course, the money shot!!!




So there you have it...now the fun begins...figuring out what we have and what we need...and of course picking out his name...don't even no where to start!!
