Make A Wish


And this is why a two year old birthday cake should only be a single cupcake. I think Sevi was trying to spit out the candle!


Check out how wet his shirt got in his attempts to blow out the candle. At least he is enjoying the cupcake.

When it gets too quiet....


Here is what I found when it suddenly got very quiet while I was doing the dishes. I initially thought it could be bad, but instead I had to laugh at how Soren was deeply engaged in my magazine MORE (geared to the 40+ year old crowd) while Sevi kept trying to steal a glimpse.

Halloween Activities

This was the first year it felt like Soren really understood and was excited about the activities that lead up to Halloween. It was fun to see him get caught up in the holiday spirit of it all. Even Sevi pulled out a Halloween book to be read to him every day. This year we had the Great Pumpkin come visit the house, in which he took the Halloween candy and traded it for a gift. It worked wonderfully and will be a tradition we will try to hold onto.


We decorated pumpkin cupcakes in the shapes of ghosts. It was fun to deliver these treats to friends and neighbors.

I love that Soren is still into the "innocent" costumes. This year he picked a cow that a friend offered. It was a cute costume and fit well from the front.........


But it was a few inches too short from the back!!!!


Sevi had a fever Halloween night and stayed home to hand out treats. With Soren and Sevi dressed as farm animals, Soren had the great idea for Randy and I to dress as farmers so we could be a working farm family. If we can get Soren to stop growing, perhaps we can try that idea for next year.
