Trick or Treat!

This past weekend we were lucky enough to travel to Minnesota to celebrate Halloween (and Kayden and Keiran's birthdays!) with the Salmon's! By far, the best part was trick or treating "small town" style (ie: after dark!) For the first time, too, Maggie "got" what trick or treating was all about and had an absolute BLAST! She didn't want to miss a single house!

Our little ladybugs!

Didn't take long for Maggie to catch on!

Auntie Laura's Mark was Maggie's trick or treat buddy- "C'mon Mark- walk faster!"

Kayden SOOOO wanted to crawl right in on top of her!

After trick or treating was done, Keiran and Maggie asked for an apple- even with all that candy! Good job, girls!

Soooo tired from being so cute!

Without the ladybug parts of their costumes, they look like jailbirds!

The Salmon Granddaughters: Maggie, Lucy, Kayden, and Keiran

(it's almost impossible to get 4 children under 4 years to all look at the same camera at the same time... you just click away and hope for the best!)

Pumpkin Farm

A few weeks back, we packed up on a warm and sunny Sunday afternoon and took the girls to Jerry Smith's Pumpkin Farm. Maggie LOOOOVED the Wizard of Oz and Snow White displays!

Our little pumpkins!

I think Maggie truly believed she had arrived in Oz....

Feeding the goats!

4 months... already?

On October 4, Lucy was 4 months old! Wow! Time sure does fly! She is such a happy baby. She loooooves to be on her tummy, has discovered how much fun it is to screech, and has recently started eating applesauce and pears! Yum! Last week she went for her 4 month check-up. She is super healthy and just, overall, a good baby. Here were her 4 month stats-

Weight: 15lb 13 oz (95th percentile!)

Height: 24 3/4" (75th percentile)

Head: 16 1/4" (50th percentile)

So, in summary, Lucy is a fatty with a teeny tiny head. But we love her just the same....

Here's just a little taste of the conversations Lucy likes to have with all of us...

(but usually they are happening about 3:30 am!!)

Bath Time!

Bath time really is fun at the Salmon house! Both girls LOVE their baths... and now that Lucy is a bit bigger, we set her "baby tub" right in the bathtub with Maggie so they can both take a bath together!

Maggie called this her "munchkin hair!"

Lucy in the Sky... with Diamonds!

Maggie serenades her sister with "the Lucy song." Now just to teach her a few more lines of the song... (not that Lucy seems to mind!)

Can you say "Chunk-a-Lunk?"

Lucy's nickname around the house here is "Chunk-a-Lunk."

Can you guess why?

Our Littlest Pumpkin

We pulled out the "Halloween Collection" for Miss Lucy now that it's October. We think the horizontally striped tights are totally slimming....
