My Pumpkins Side By Side

Here are my two pumpkins in the same outfits on their first Halloweens.  Lily on top and Kyle on bottom of each picture.  Even though Lily was born in January and Kyle in May, they can fit in the same size in October!  Their baby pictures have been similar all along.  I'm just finally getting around to showing this comparison.  I can't believe how similar they are!!

 

First Field Trip

 Lily's school had a field trip on Friday to the pumpkin farm.  Kyle and I had to go with her.  I was very nervous about handling both kids on my own, and dealing with the cold weather, but we did well and it was a success!  It was chilly, but fortunately it was sunny and no rain.  So we just bundled up and did fine.

Kyle looked like this the whole time (except when he fell asleep).  Just stared at me and thought, "Mom, where have you taken me?"

Lily was kind of in a daze too.  We had to get up early to get there on time.  I think it was all a little overwhelming.

The class took a hay ride but I couldn't bring Kyle on it.  So Lily sat with her teacher and Kyle and I walked around to look at some animals.  There was another baby and Mom with us.  The two boys posed with the birds.  They were thrilled... can't you tell?

Once the hay ride was over, we picked up Lily and saw the "Pumpkin-Eating Dinosaur".  Lily is still talking about him, it must have been one of her favorite parts.

Then it was Lily's turn to see the animals.  Here are some baby pigs.

And the BIG Mommy pig

We bought some carrots and Lily fed the animals.  This is a kangaroo.

The kangaroos started boxing!

Lily fed the baby goats

Lily fed the giraffe.  (That was my favorite part!  Their tongue is so long and tickles you when they grab the carrot.)

 All the kids on the field trip.  The 2 year olds were also with a 4 & 5 year old class from the same school.

Lily and Mommy.  Someone was anxious to go home!

Hi Kyle

 Her masterpiece!

Catching Up

 I don't have a very concise theme for this post.  Just wanted to post all the cute pictures I've taken over the last couple weeks.

Kyle is doing the "half roll".  Not committed to rolling over yet, but will turn his head around to see what's going on.

Lily is eating her apple and Kyle is eating his ball.  I think he wants to start on food, but I'm holding off until he's 5 months.

I got Lily to take a picture in this costume, but I'm not sure if she'll wear it for Halloween.  My Mom made this yellow crayon for ME when I was 2.  I wore it and many of my cousins wore it.  I can't believe it's held up so well and now Lily gets to wear it!

Kyle was dressed to cheer on Purdue last weekend, but it didn't do much good against Michigan.

Uncle Mike came to visit last weekend and met Kyle for the first time.

Kyle watched the Bears game with Grandpa.  Look at him... he's REALLY watching the game.

Lily was "cooking" in her kitchen to give us snacks for the game.  She have a chicken leg to Kyle and he held it correctly and started eating it.  What a guy.

Grandma came to visit on her day off

Kyle was in his Bumbo and Lily sat down next to him to give him hugs.  So I quickly grabbed my camera.  They are so cute together!
