October is always an eventful month, starting with Matthew’s birthday, and ending on Halloween, with Dean turning 5 right smack in the middle – so much to celebrate.
Here we are! A family photo in one take – this was photographed on Matt’s birthday at the kids’ school open house.
This month, Leo loves to stand! He is upright constantly, where he can get a better view and get into everything. He’s also cutting some more teeth! October brought one bottom tooth, for a total of three, and he’s definitely showing signs of some top teeth. It doesn’t stop him from being incredibly active, but he lets us know when it bothers him.
For Halloween, we celebrated with three pumpkins – Dean and Fiona both wanted scary jack-o-lanterns (Dean’s has the goatee), and we made one winking one with three bottom teeth for you-know-who.
Costumes were pretty snappy – nothing homemade this year (who am I kidding? Have I ever??). Here’s Dean trying on his Darth Vader costume.
We got to dress them up for school this year, too, which they loved. Matthew and I LOVE this photo of Fiona’s class. All of the princesses are in taffeta and rhinestones, and our own sweet Buzz Lightyear, the prettiest Buzz there ever was. Fiona doesn’t just want to dress like her favorite character. She wants to BE him. To infinity and beyond.
On Halloween night, we tried to set our kids on the steps with their costumes, but Leo wouldn’t have it. So, even though I’m unadorned, it’s the only way we could capture my three pumpkins.
What fun :)
