Stella's 1st Preschool Halloween Party

Just check out this cute little parade of kiddos dressed up in their costumes....I know I'm biased but that little witch is the cutest :)

Daddy & Tucker join the party

 

Tucker's 1st Halloween!

We harvested the cutest pea pod there is in these parts ;)

 ok so he doesn't look thrilled here as a pea pod but i promise you he was a smiley pea pod!

And, Halloween Greetings from Tucker too! Also, check out the door sign, read every word on it (and you know I needed another Halloween Decoration like I need a hole in my head)

 My Boy's 1st Halloween! After this self-timer shot that i'm infamous for always doing...the two of us were off to meet Daddy at Stella's school halloween party, broomstick & all ;)

HALLOWEEN 2012 - The Monster & Her Pea Pod

 Justin making Stella's Monster Feet!

We brave the cruddy weather to check out Toledo Botanical Gardens' FALL FESTIVAL

  We met Tonya there, her wonderful babysitter

 And Aunt Amy & Uncle Todd too! 

Toledo Zoo's  Pumpkin Path Trick or Treat Event:

 Our sweet baby boy - holding onto one of his peas in his pod

 Lilo & Stella

Who says a Scary Crocodile & Very Hairy Scary Monster can't be friends ;)

DANCE CLASS:  Halloween Style:

Making her Halloween Treats for all her friends & teachers at Preschool, Stella helped with every step of this process

 Dipping the pretzels

 Putting Orange & Black Sprinkles

 This is her favorite part - more sprinkles

 ...annnnnd, this is what happens when Mommy turns her head for a few seconds 

 Cutting the ribbon that we tied the Choc. Pretzels with, coloring and putting sticker's on the tags

 Halloween Greetings from our little "STELLAton"  ;)

  Helping Mommy make Halloween Cupcakes:

 My new favorite purchase - My Giant CupCake Cupcake Holder/Storer (holds 24!)

HALLOWEEN TRICK OR TREATING:

 JoNannie cruised along beside us 

 After about 30 min. of walking Stella got smart - hitched a ride on her stroller up to the walkway of every house, then hopped out and made her way to the door

 Tucker was such a good boy - he slept most of the time in his cozy stroller bassinet

After Trick or Treating we hung out some more with JoNannie & Peeto, ate Chinese take out and Stella played Photographer as usual:

 Transferring all her candy into the candy bowl  Those are vampire teeth in her mouth.

 Someone's happy about all the loot she got!

TUCKER'S 3rd MONTH!

 Tucker's been such a joy for all of us - such a smiley happy baby and he LOVES to be held or swing in his super duper comfy baby swing

 Stella took this pic - I will do a post on Stella The Photographer some day - she takes alot of pics all on her own with my camera

 Our Sweet Baby Boy (you'll hear me say this alot)

 Playing with Tucker and his wooden Rattle...this was Stella's from Aunt Hadley

 This hat is a gift from a business colleague of Justin's - it says "Tucker, Junior Auction Clerk, RealtimeBid"  RealtimeBid.com is Justin's side business

 Lots of "T" onesies, huh?  I made a handful for him.  It spruces up the plain ol' hand me down white onesies that were looking shabby 

Tucker's 3rd Month Dr. Appt 

our little boy is a chunky monkey, compared to his "in the 10th percentile" older sister

as he is riding in the 50th percentile

 Stella loves to stroll along with her brother on the "wheel board" on her, now "their" Bugaboo stroller

A COMPARISON:

Tucker in one of my favorite Stella onesies here...then the last 2 pics show you Stella in it
