Museum and Gymnastics

The twins and I had a blast with Alicia and Benny at the Cinci Children's Museum a few weeks ago. They are very active now, getting into EVERYTHING, including water tables (aka toilets), toilet paper rolls are very exciting, trash cans, curtains (playing hide and seek in the curtains is a new favorite activity), stairs, and getting their hands on just about anything else they can reach.
Both are still crawling and cruising, but still not walking on their own. Meg decided to give her Daddy's cell phone a bath today. Apparently, she could reach Mike's phone that appeared to be out of reach.

Savannah has been taking Gymnastics classes at Miami U with a few of her neighborhood friends. She has had a lot of fun and really seems to like it. She is doing great in school. I can see the reading skills developing and she even read me part of a new book today (she got a little tired of sounding things out about half way thru, but did awesome).

Halloween

Dragons and Bees and Turtles, oh my!! We had a lot of fun this year over the Halloween week. On Sunday before halloween we went to Hallzooween at the Cinci Zoo. Savannah enjoyed getting all the candy and watching the animals eat their pumpkins and the twins enjoyed the stroller ride. That night we had our neighborhood trick-or-treat. It worked out great doing it before Halloween as nearly every family participated and the weather couldn't have been better.

Savannah got to wear her costume again to school on Friday for the day. Her school did a parade of costumes followed by her classroom party. Savannah and I were in charge of the art project for the party. We made little magnets.

That night we got in the car and headed to Illinois where we spent the weekend with Brad, Brishen and Bella Weir. We trick-or-treated with them on actual Halloween. Bella was an Illinois Cheerleader (good thing too as her cheering helped Illinois win the football game that day). We met Nana and Grandpa and Marcia for brunch on Sunday. Wow, thinking about all the activities that week wears me out. We really had a great time and got a lot of use out of the costumes!! Enjoy the pictures.
