Dressing Up!

Addison was ready for dress up, she had on her gown and was ready to go to the ball (dancing). She informed Greyson and I that we also needed to dress up. So Greyson and I put on some scarves and shoes. Addison then reported that I was God, Greyson was Noah and she was the beautiful princess. She is so funny. As the disney music playing in the background we got more and more dressed up. Here is Noah, it must be the scarf.
The beautiful Princess.
The up-do.And now she is a well accessorized Beautiful Princess. Noah has been transformed into a Cowboy Prince.Here they are at the ball dancing. Notice that Greyson has his backup hat and glasses in hand
The new hat has arrived. This boy loves hats and shoes. I transformed from God to the Fairy Godmother! What a fun night with my babies.

To the Moon Space Girl and Space Kitty

Time to go up stairs everyone, time to help mom put away the laundry. Alright my babies say as we climb the stairs. Addison is excited because she loves to help throw all of her clothes on her bed after mom has already folded them, but hey she feels helpful and sometimes that is all that matters. Greyson on the other hand loves to open all of his dresser draws to reorganize them and find his socks. His favorite thing to do at laundry time is put on as many socks as he can. Socks on his feet and on his hands and then a few extra socks laying around just for fun. As I am putting away the laundry I noticed a package of nicely packed diapers I toss them to Addison as I ask her to put them away in the basket. She reports back, okay mom. A few minutes later I look into her room to find the diapers package open and empty but the diapers have not made it into the basket instead they are everywhere in the kids room, it looked like they were trying to have a new style of carpet made of diapers. I just smiled and kept working. A few minutes later Addison appears holding a ball of diapers. She then tells me that Kitty is inside the diapers and she is wearing her space hat. Again I smile, loving her creativity. She returns to her room where Greyson is trying to put diapers on himself and all of the stuffed animals in their room. Addison quickly gets back to the diaper pile too. The next time she comes out into the hall she has on a space helmet and is wanting some space clothes so she, the "Outer Space Girl can go to space with her "Outer Space Kitty." It is so amazing how fast they grow up and how amazing their minds can be. Damien was quickly called up to capture the moment. He was also called into the diaper transformation and pretty soon I was the only one in my family without a "Space Suit." It was the best laundry time ever.
Daddy arrived to assist with the space boots.
Outer Space Girl!

Creations

Addison and Greyson love playing with their lego blocks. Sometimes they build, sometimes the sort, sometimes they throw them everywhere but today when I got home they had put the blocks to an amazing use. I was greeted at the door with, "Mommy look what we built with Daddy, a huge tower." They were so excited to show me the creative tower daddy helped them build. Addison pointing to the top to show me just how big it really was, especially since it had a car on top of it. a

Trick or Treat

We ventured up to Snohomish to spend time with family and enjoy the Halloween Holiday. Greyson hanging out with cousin Ethan. Greyson loved having Ethan read books to him. Cousins all dressed up. Kealey,Jada and Addison enjoying their costumes.
Heading out for the real deal. Yes it was raining but not too cold. There is the pink Unicorn and the mighty green Dinosaur!

Mimi and Addison walking from house to house enjoying the treats. So cute. Greyson enjoyed getting the candy from the bowl at each house. He held his candy in his hand until he got to the next house and then I would have to put it in his trick or treak pumpkin. At one house Greyson was holding a tootsie roll in his hand from the previous house, he seemed perplexed as to what to do with it when he was faced with so many choices of new candy. So he put the tootsie roll in the new house's bowl and grabbed a new piece of candy, he traded it in, we all laughed.

The family of trick or treaters.
We enjoyed the carnival activities put on by the seniors at Snohomish High school. Greyson and Addison were a hit, I think because they were the smallest people there. We had to go and support the family. Greyson played games to his standard, smiled and of course got candy from the seniors. Here Greyson is enjoying the game of set the ball on the table as opposed to throwing the ball to knock over the cans. He still got a prize. Addison and Mimi enjoying a "Cake Walk." Addison like dancing to the music. To Addison surprise the music stopped, number 9 was called and she won a cake. She even got to pick it out all by herself. She was so careful carrying it around. She would say, " See my cake, I won a cake
