It's official!!!

The crib is gone!!

Devon even got to help take it apart.

Devon sure LOVES using tools! This could have entertained his for hours!!

Here is a view of his room. Since he is fascinated with planes and helicopters I am going with that theme. We are keeping it simple, but I found some cool sheets, pillows pictures and shelves to coordinate. It was so much fun setting everything up today!!

Devon is loving his new space!! What a change up from the little nursery space he was in last month.

Does this mean he is growing up???

My little boy is asleep in a "big boy" twin bed!!

I have been trying to figure out how this will all work with the new baby on his way. Will we get a new crib, or will Devon be ready for a "big boy bed"?? Devon does so well in his crib that I figure not to rush change. But he is so darn cute in the big bed.

We put a twin mattress on the floor in there, as Danny was going to sleep in it at night to give me some more space since I was not feeling well. (coughing all night)

When Devon saw it he said "Devons bed" and threw him self on it. Too cute!! I have let him nap in it the last 2 days, but put him in his crib at night. He usually wakes up a bit earlier than me and happily plays in his crib in the morning. I am not ready to give this up yet. ( I know-selfish mommy) He did amazingly well. Stayed in the bed and took a great nap!!

Halloween!!

My beautiful kitty cat and lil ol' pumpkin belly!!

Happy Halloween!!!

I helped the kids carve a pumpkin the evening before Halloween. Kayla had a great time and enjoyed drawing the face and taking out and cleaning the seeds. Devon thought it was "yucky", "messy" and "dirty". Believe it or not he would not touch the inside of the pumpkin.Kayla even had a great time helping to make pumpkin seeds!

We spent the next day at Kaylas school. They had a great classroom party, parade, and Halloween carnival. Kayla was a beautiful black cat, Devon was an airplane pilot, Danny was a bear, and I decorated my tummy as a pumpkin. The carnival was alot of fun for the kids. They decorated hats, played games, had snacks and Kayla even put on a small Halloween play in her class.
Devon my little pilot!!

Luckily the kids both fell asleep on the way home from Kayla's school. They both were able to take a 2 hour nap, then we went out for dinner and Trick or Treating!! Kayla had great memories of trick or treating from previous years, and Devon seemed to catch on quickly! Last year he was not walking yet, so this was his first real experience! We went to a Kensington, a near-by neighborhood, to go trick or treating. The houses were well decorated and had a lot of spirit. It was neat to see all the other costumes out.

Here is Kayla in her class play!! She is the "witch". Sorry for the jumpy video as Devon was crawling on and off my lap the whole time.

***Sorry....having trouble w/video

Although I have been enjoying all the Halloween candy, I am glad its over!! It was a very exhausting day. We are enjoying a mellow weekend around the house and getting geared up for a new week ahead of us.
