Nate's First Birthday

Our first trip to Disney

as a family of four!
We decided on a whim to take the kids to Disney for the weekend: booked a hotel, packed our bags and off we went.
It was the first time Nate was in the car for so long and since we left early,he did fairly well. Eric and I were really excited abotu seeing Sebastian's reaction when we would be there, and once we got closer and saw "mickey" signs, he went CRAZY! "MICKEY MICKEY MICKEY I so happy we go to Disneyworld". Everyone who knows Sebastian, knows how expressive he is, and this time was no different and made our Disney experience even more magical.
The park was packed but we were able to get on tons of rides, Sebastian's favorite were the Pirates of the Carribean and the Buzz lightyear ride.
We stayed until the fireworks were over (gorgeous by the way) and then headed to the hotel, Sebastian actually was so exhausted that he fell asleep on the tram on our way back to the car!

Halloween Party

Today our moms group had a great Halloween party. The kids had so much fun running around and I had a great time chatting with my mommy friends. Sebastian wore his pirate costume and insisted I paint something on his face, don't you love his moustache?? I turned Nate into his pumpkin because I wanted to save his real costume for Halloween and I actually dressed up as a kitty cat (whickers and all)

Kids say the cutest things!

Last night we were having dinner and Eric was complaining that the fish wasn't very good.

So I looked at Sebastian and said:" You dad is a big pain in the butt. He should always say that mommy's food tastes good"Sebastian: "
But mommy, I know daddy loves you!
Me: I am not sure, what makes you think that?
Sebastian: He's always kissing you!
Me: Oh really?Sebastian: Yes, mama.
He goes...mwa,mwa mwa (making kissy faces with his lips) all the time to you when we are in the care!


My heart melted! he is so darn cute!

Lazy Sunday.

Today, we just hung out around the house with the kids and then walked over to the park near our house. I took advantage of our time out to take some photos of the boys but I couldn't get a picture of both of them together (or a good picture of Seb actually).

Fun at the zoo!

Weekends are usually reserved exclusively for spending time with daddy. The boys love it and so do I!
This weekend, we took the kids to the zoo but the heat was so unbearable that after seeing just a few animals we headed to the fountains and Seb and Nate had a blast! I had never let the baby play in them but as you can tell by the pictures, he really did enjoy it!

new toy

Nate is almost 9 months and has yet to receive a toy. I know, I know, he doesn't know any better but the I had a case of "mommy guilt" and went out and bought him a cool ballpit today and he lovesssssssssssssssss it!
