This and that

This is another one of those random posts.  A little time outside, a little time with friends, and a little time being goofy! :)

Brookie helped me rake some of the leaves the other day.  She loves being outside, and she is starting to be a pretty good little helper! :)

We went to a tree lighting ceremony at a local outdoor mall with our friends, the Harrisons.  The weather was great and the kids had fun!

Who needs thumbs when you have big toes?!?! :)  Look ma, no hands! :)

Geez, you can’t take your eyes off this boy, even just for a minute.  Things got a little quiet one evening - “Where’s brother?…Oh!! Here’s brother!!!”  No sense of fear!  Can’t quite walk yet, but he sure can climb – decorating his room with monkeys must have been a little foretelling!  I think we are in trouble!!

 

The other night Brooklyn decided that the ottoman was the best place to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.  Her life is so stressful!

And finally, are there any words for this? :) 

And if it looks good on me – why not try it on my brother? 

You can almost read his eyes as he is saying, “Really? Really???”  Poor Brosnan.  I’m sure this is just the beginning. :)

More from Thanksgiving week to come!  See you soon! ;)

Everyday Life

I know that I said that I would see you “tomorrow” after my last post, but I didn’t really have anything to add.  We were a little Halloween’d out after Zoo Boo and Trunk or Treat, so we just enjoyed a evening at home and handed out a little candy on Halloween.  We didn’t even put the costumes on again.  At any rate, I thought it was time to throw a few pictures up on the blog again.  We haven’t really done anything “special” lately, but I can’t tell you how special just everyday life is.  These two are just so much fun.  Here are a few snapshots of the chaos we call home. :)

So, I ran across these little ladybug slippers that Aunt Katie gave Brooklyn a while back, and asked Brooklyn if she wanted to try them on.  She shoved her feet in and said that they fit “great”. :)  A few minutes later, she started dragging her rocking chair down the hall from her room to the living room.  I asked her what she was doing and she said that she needed to take a picture.  And then she said that she needed to hold “brother”.  I realized that the ladybug slippers had sparked a memory for her and she wanted to recreate a picture that she had done with her brother when he was a little over a month old.  What a memory!!  

I can’t believe how big they have gotten!  And that’s a glimpse of everyday life in the Chilton house! :)

Halloween Fun!

Seems like it has been Halloween for a couple of weeks now.  It started with a fun Halloween themed box from Aunt Katie, and then continued with Zoo Boo last weekend, and Trunk or Treat tonight. Here are a few fun pics.

Guess which hand! :)  Hmmmm….

Zoo Boo!!  The kids were able to walk a 1/2 mile route at the Detroit Zoo, picking up various treats and checking out the pumpkin/gourd displays.  The penguins were my favorite!  I hope these kids learn to like taking pictures together some day.

Friends don’t let friends go through hay bale mazes alone. :)

Brooklyn’s favorite part of the night was running up and down a little hill.  Go figure…

Playing around the house.

Brosnan is 10 months old!  Despite several attempts, these were the only 2 quality bear shots to speak of. :)

Tonight we went to Trunk or Treat at our church.  We did a couple of crafts and tried to take some sibling pics again with little success.  And then we went out to the parking lot to see all of the cars.  There were some very cute “trunks”, including a huge mouth, an 80’s rock band, and the Polar Express.  Very creative! 

Dorothy or Little Red Riding Hood? :)

Which one first?…Tough decision! :)  Brosnan says he like Smarties.

                And it’s not even Halloween yet!!  Whew!!  See you tomorrow! :)
