Sick babies....

Yup...my babies are sick again :( Looks like a week of staying at home...

Pumpkin Carving and Stuff...

So we got a pumpkin this past weekend that was big enough to carve...Trav did the cutting and Barend looked cute :) After Trav got the top off though, I was sure Barend was going to "dig in" and get messy. He looked inside the pumpkin and wouldn't even put his hand in. He ended up just watching, but he did want to help with the carving part (the part with the knives....). We also saved the seeds and tried our hand at roasting pumpkin seeds. Needless to say, they needed more salt and not be cooked as long as they did....they were still good though :) Here are some pics for your enjoyment.

Teeth and Harmonicas...

So my daughter has her first tooth at 5months of age. She's been fussy lately and hasn't been sleeping too well and now I know why. Her little sharp tooth (yes, it's very sharp for such a little thing) poked through a couple of days ago. We are now awaiting the one right next to it, which should come any day now. She's also rolling to get to places and when she's patient she'll scoot using her toes.

My mom got barend a harmonica. He loves it and actually plays very well. He doesn't over play so it sounds really nice. Anyway, this is how the harmonica conversation goes:

Barend: "Cry mommy, cry."
Me: (I pretend to cry)
Barend: "What would you like, baby?"
Me: "I want some music."
Barend: "O.K.!" (plays the harmonica)

Two seconds later....

Barend: "Cry mommy, cry."

He's so funny sometimes :)

I have some more pictures, however, my son has confiscated the batteries that were in it for some of his toys, so I'll have to get more at the store next time I'm out :)
