costumes & candy day

aka halloween

ollie loves the UPS truck and gets really excited whenever we see one. so i thought this was a good costume for him- and it was easy to make:) today we saw a line of those famous brown trucks on the freeway and ollie said, "look at all the ups trucks!....trick-or-treat!"

"savvy girl" was a pumpkin:)

off to trick-or-treat

ollie loved trick-or-treating and getting candy...i have enjoyed eating it all;)

pumpkins!

i have said it before and i will say it again- i love this time of year and all that comes with it...like pumpkins!

here are some photos of our trip to the pumpkin patch.

counting all the pumpkins... ollie really wanted to take home "a big one!"

so many pumpkins....

ollie got really excited when he saw this mickey mouse scarecrow...kind of creepy, but he liked it

ollie had a so much fun and didn't want to leave...he had a much better time this year, than his first trip to the pumpkin patch:)

we bought a house!!!

here are some family photos standing outside our new (to us) house!

more photos to come as we make some improvements...like new paint:)

growing baby bump

pop-pop beans

sometimes getting a 2 year old to eat veggies can be tricky. ollie goes through phases of being a picky eater, lately he's enjoyed "pop-pop beans" or aka soy beans or edamame. he likes making them "pop" out of the pod and into his mouth...or sometimes across the room.
good for you and a fun time all in one little green package:)

little savvy baby

sorry for my lack of posts, but i have been pretty exhausted lately. i spend most of my day chasing ollie around and dealing with the daily tantrums that define the "terrible 2's!" not to mention, we are expecting a little baby girl in january. yay!!! so here are the first few pictures of our little savvy girl.

i am about 21 weeks here. you can see the top of ollie's head and his little hand pointing to his baby sister:) and you can see i really need to clean my mirror- sorry for the spots:)
sorry this is sideways, but i couldn't rotate it for some reason.

more to come...and no, we are not naming her "savvy savona" it's just what i call her for now:)

nothing like an inflatable pool!

summer is always good for splashing and playing in a good ol' fashioned inflatable pool:)
