Getting into stuff

Lucy is getting into stuff. As the picture on the right demonstrates, we looked over and saw that Lucy had successfully opened a cabinet and was pulling out and exploring paper. She has grown curious and knows there is more to the world that meets the eye. One must OPEN things!
Lucy also likes to put things inside things, as of late. She has the urge to put our farm animals inside the siloh, her crackers inside a bowl, and bath toys over the edge. Why? Don't know. But it's cute.

Butt Boogie and more stories...

Lucy is dancing. Whenever music comes on, she starts to do the "Butt boogie" as she sits on the floor, and sometimes adds off-beat clapping.
Sunday morning, Theodore and Lucy were having breakfast while I brushed my teeth. We had an Honors Choir CD in the background. I overheard Theodore say, "do you hear that music, Lucy? I do."
We went to a Halloween party yesterday at the gym and Theodore was dressed as a ladybug, Lucy as a pumpkin. Theodore kept trying to strip more and more as the party went on. Finally, as we got into the minivan to go home, Theodore succeeded. He drove home in a diaper and his church shoes.

Updates

Updates about the kids- Lucy is clapping. For real! She'll clap to music, or when she sees something that makes her very happy. It's about the cutest thing ever, especially because her hands are so small compared to the rest of her. Small target!
The other day Theodore looked at me and said, "Those apple seeds were the best seeds that I ever ate." I had no idea where that came from. Theodore is also into pushing Lucy over when she's just sitting, minding her own business. Then, Theodore runs into timeout and smiles like he got away with something wonderful. Um... what do you do when your kid doesn't mind time-out?

Cousin's Wedding

Last weekend Siri drove to Milwaukee with Lucy for her cousin, Erika's wedding. Lucy did awesome on the five hour drive, late night, hotel stay, and all around craziness. It was a wonderful weekend with lots of family. The best part was that Erika married a wonderful man!
