Maybe I should lock the pantry....

Kieran is a persistent little fellow. He is constantly getting into things, no matter how many times I remove him, tell him "no" or try and re-direct his attention. Not only does he love to dismantle the video shelf, but he LOVES the pantry!

He is very funny. When he is hungry, and mommy is not getting him something fast enough, he will get into the pantry and bring something to me. He usually brings a box of fruit snacks, or macaroni and cheese. As you can see from the above picture, he decided he wanted some rice. He brought a half empty bag out to Dad, and ended up dumping it on the floor. The second picture is actually him putting uncooked rice into his mouth!

His new fascination is the bag of wheat flour, he thinks it is sand! He will even go and get the shovels from the bath toys to dig. He was having so much fun in the flour I just had to get some pictures. I loved that after I removed him up, there was a perfect little footprint left.

The above pictures are actually only the 1st time he did this. He has done it 3 times since I took these pictures! In my defense, at least one of these times the pantry was locked, but somehow he shook the door & the key turned in the lock... no more leaving the key in the lock!

What are we going to do with this little handful?

Halloween

Kieran as Pooh Pumpkin... So cute!
I'm Batman!

My own little Cinderella

All three of my little spooks.

This year we decided that we wouldn't buy new Halloween costumes, but use ones we already had in our dress-up box. I couldn't be more pleased w/ the way the costumes turned out. I think all 3 of the kids looked so adorable!

Dannik went as Batman 2 years ago, but since the new movie and game just came out, he's popular all over again and we got some more use out of the costume.

As for Markay, well, I have been trying to get her to go as a princess the last 2 years, but she hasn't ever wanted to. I can't say how pleased I am that I finally convinced her to wear this lovely dress up gown that Aunt Britney brought to us when she came to visit in July. She's just so pretty!

Kieran's costume is on it's 4th or 5th turn as a Halloween costume. It was a hand-me-down I got from my sister-in-law, Gina when Dannik was 2. All 3 of my kids have worn it and one or both of hers did as well. It is such a warm costume and so adorable. It was a little big, but I have to say he just looked so cute walking around in it.

We had a great Halloween and were actually able to do dress up 4 times! We had a party for the pre-schoolers (where they actually used different outfits), a Halloween carnival at Dannik's school, a ward party/trunk-or-treat and of course trick-or-treating on Halloween night. The kids had such a good time at all of these events! We got way more candy than we possibly need (of which I have been munching way too much).

On Halloween night Markay was having such a good time that when Dannik wanted to come home at 8 pm, she was ready to keep going. Since we only went down the street one way, I walked her down the street the other way & we hit about 6-8 more houses. I believe she could have kept going all night if I hadn't told her that people were done handing out candy because it was bed-time.

Hopefully next year I will be more motivated to decorate my house & get in the mood earlier :)
