Up to no good!

Just some things we are doing around here:
We went the Sunday after Thanksgiving to pick out our FIRST real Christmas tree! There was not much to choose from, so we decided to get a 6 ft tall tree and set it up on our coffee table in hopes this would keep the babies out of hands reach! This has ACTUALLY worked very well! We have lost 1 ornament so far and it was an accident!! YEAH!
However after we had this tree for two weeks it DIED!!! and YES YES YES YES I watered it! I followed the instructions that they gave us!
Thanks to my mom, who un-decorated the tree while we were out of town last weekend! Erik took the tree back and exchanged it for an even SADDER looking tree! Not his fault, just nothing to choose from! And I re-decorated it!




Our First Tree

And the Second Tree!

Brushing our teeth! They REALLY like to mostly chew on the tooth brush, but my dentist said that was perfectly ok! I try to "help" them but NO WAY!! So this is what we do! SIT and chew!!


It's CLEAN UP TIME: Haleigh helps out mostly and walks around singing "clean up, clean up"


So I was at Walmart and found these footed pajamas which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!! I think I had a pair and wore them until about the 3rd grade!! They were my favorite and I just think they are too cute on the babies! Although it makes me realize how tall they are getting! I cannot BELIEVE it!!



you will notice that the bumper pad is still on in this photo! However, not too long after this photo was taken Hadleigh was refusing to take a nap, but I was trying to let her "cry it out" b/c I KNEW she was tired! After about 20 minutes I went in to check on her and she immediately stopped crying so I kissed her and told her it was night night time! So about 20 minutes later she is still SCREAMING at the top of her lungs so I go in to check on her and as I am about to round the corner HERE SHE COMES!!! On foot running towards me! YEP you got it! SHE CLIMBED out of her crib!! So needless to say I did take the bumper pad off and she did not get a nap!!





Celebrating some of our new toys!
This one was a hand-me-down from our good friend Mara Petty! OH MY they love their "Elma :aka Elmo" chair! It giggles when they sit in it and they think it is too funny!

yes Hadleigh ALREADY has a shoe fettish! Even the ones that are too big! She loves putting on shoes! One night she REFUSED to take them off and threw the BIGGEST fit, so we just let her sleep in them! And she DID sleep in them ALL NIGHT LONG!!

Our new wagon thanks to A LOT of our friends! For a while we were taking a walk in it EVERY day! THEY LOVE IT!!

Our shopping carts from Aunt Gin! This was a HUGE hit! They love to push them around all over, but mostly Isaac loves to sit in his! This was one of the first things he did when we got it put together thanks to our Anties Becky, Rachel and Anne!!
