Six Months

I took Katie for her 6 month immunizations yesterday. She now weighs 16 pounds! We go for her 6 month check up with our family doctor in two weeks, so I'll know then what percentile she is in and how tall she is.

We've recently started putting Katie in her excersaucer. She loves it! And so does Logan!

And Logan started sleeping in his big boy bed as of yesterday. It's going to be a bit of a learning curve.... Logan has to learn he can't get out of bed whenever he wants to. But, so far I think he's had a total of only 5 spankings, so I think he should have it figured out pretty soon!

Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Pick Up

This morning I took Logan down to the elementary school to see the Operation Christmas Child shoe box pick up. It was really neat! Three ambulances and a couple police cars all came driving up onto the field with their lights and sirens going and then the main attraction, both Stars and Hawks helicopters came and landed on the school field.

We watched the helicopters arrive from the alley between the two campuses, which worked out really well because both helicopters flew RIGHT above us!

Then we walked over and got a closer look. The kids got to take pictures with both choppers and the ambulances.

The pilot from the Hawks Helicopted let Logan climb up and sit inside. The pilot loved Logan's jacket and asked if we had a future pilot on our hands!

It was total mayham down there though! There were kids running EVERYWHERE! I had to watch Logan like a hawk - otherwise he'd be gone in a second! He loved it! He loved chasing all the kids and cried all the way home "No! Lolo go to gool!" (Gool = School).

For Grandpa...

• Apparently Logan doesnt think "BIg Baba" is nice, he refused to sit still and hold the "He's Nice" sign... I guess he's standing firm in his believe that Grandpa's BIG & UGLY!
• AND, to be fair, Justin & Tyler thought their Big & Ugly signs said "Hi Grandpa".

Logan's Hair Cut

Halloween Apples!

This year for Halloween, Logan was a skunk (quite appropriate for our little stinker) and Katie was a hot dog. And of course Duke was also dressed up in his usual Superman costume. All the kids get a kick out of Duke's costume and we always get soooooo many compliments on it.

This year was by far the most fun Trick or Treating with Logan. He actually understood what was happening and had a lot of fun doing it! He did really well in the beginning running from door to door with his cousins (Brett - Batman, Justin - a monkey and Tyler - a lion).

He did all of our new cul-de-sac, my grandpa and grandma's street, 49th street and half of Glenpatrick... But on Glenpatrick we came across "the Monster house" (as the Mol boys call it). The "Monster House" goes all out on Halloween with tons of decorations, strobe lights and scary sound effects... well, this scared the crap out of Logan! And from then on all we heard was "Go home! Go baba mama's house! all done!" So we quickly finished a couple last houses of people we knew then came home (well, to my mom and dad's cause Mark and I are now homeless). Logan dove right into his candy bag and enjoyed his haul.
