Master Penguin- right down to the waddle!!! Enjoy this video :)





Happy Halloween!!!
We had a wonderful weekend. Last Thursday Eric took an early lunch to join Brooks and I at the Gymboree Halloween party. It was a lot of fun and we discovered that B has a massive love for cheese curls. I think he is going to look for them in the music room every time we go back. On Saturday we went to a Halloween Party thrown by a mom in my playgroup- lots of kids, lots of fun. Before we headed over we did some trick-or-treating in Rittenhouse, as it was a big 'event' that the stores participated in on Saturday.
Sunday we trick-or-treated. I thought it would be a little lame with a 1 yr old. I just figured he wouldn't last long, plus our neighborhood isn't too big on it. Well boy was I wrong. We went a few blocks away- and everyone who is giving out candy sits outside while the kids walk up and down (saves you from ringing doorbells and wondering if people are participating). Brooks had SO MUCH FUN! He was running around like crazy, looking at the costumes, shrieking something that Eric and I imagined sounded like trick-or-treat (although in reality there is no way), waving hi, bye, and thank you to everyone, and just had a blast. We brought his little car and he would alternate walking and riding (his choice, he would get in and out). He didn't quite grasp the concept- at some houses he took his candy and put it in their bowls rather than taking new candy, but he had fun. Eric gave him a taste of a Milky Way and later he saw one and spit everything in his mouth out to go for it. We had dinner at a local restaurant and hit a few more houses on our way home- and then he passed out for the night. It was the greatest day- I still can't believe how much fun it was.

And in other news- Brooks' big boy room is in progress!!! The furniture came today and it is all set up. Now I just have to decorate and move his stuff in. I also have to figure out what to do about him and sleeping. He isn't ready to leave the crib- but there isn't enough room for a crib. Why oh why don't they make some sort of crib-on-top-of-bed thing?

Pictures!!!

And we are off...








Big Boy Room: (remember- this is just the furniture and such. I still have to decorate, do window treatments, etc)



Not the best shot- but the other pictures make the room seem crowded, I think this one shows how much floor space there actually is- everything fit so well!
