Pumpkins

This year was the first that Maya has really participated in pumpkin carving. Last year she wanted nothing to do with it and wouldn't come near the 'guts'. This year she loved it and helped Chris pick out a pattern (A castle, of course), clean out the pumpkin then did her own little pumpkin craft while she waited for him to finish carving it. Owen and I mostly watched and helped Maya with her craft.

Cow or Monkey

As is par for the course, I bought two costumes for Owen. Quite honestly, I probably would have bought two for Maya also had the princess costumes not been so darn expensive. Owen's totaled half of what Maya's cost so I didn't feel so bad. Here is a preview of Owen's first Halloween. By the way, I tend to always buy two. I find good deals and can't pass them up. Last year Maya's back up Christmas dress cost me 1.99 on ebay. Granted, she didn't wear it, ha ha ha, but I always have back ups.

Gary and Gorgeous

My had 'adopted' to skulls. Yes, skulls. We got out our Halloween decorations and for some reason she really loves these skulls we have. She feeds them breakfast, puts them to bed, and even fed them broccoli at dinner the other night. She named one Gary and I named the other George. However, she can't seem to remember George so she tends to call him Gorgeous. A few days ago she was getting dressed and I told her she looked gorgeous! She looked at me and said "no, mommy, gorgeous is downstairs!" BTW, she is making a funny face, LOL.

Last night Maya was out in the kitchen with Chris while he was cleaning up our mess from pumpkin carving when she started to repeat some numbers. Chris asked her to say it again....turns out it's our phone number. Chris and I were both cracking up. I have not tried to teach it to her nor had I said it at any point yesterday. So funny!! It made me wonder though. About a week ago I was at Babies' R Us trying to give the sales clerk my phone number for our 'rewards card' and it took her 4 or 5 times to get it right. It makes me wonder if our phone number had been circulating around her head for a week.
