EARLY MORNING STORY TIME

Gus is way more into dump trucks than Nova, but she doesn't seem to mind humoring him.

TRUCKS! GUYS! TREES!

When we got home from our morning adventures, there were guys! In our trees! With chainsaws! Gus was, as you can imagine, ecstatic. We sat on the porch eating chips and cheering each time the city workers cut down a particularly big limb, then we went inside and watched them load all the branches into the wood chipper.


Gus was glued to the window.


He even fogged up the glass.


(Don't tell Gus, but while he was watching the guys! trucks! trees! I let Nova play with one of his dinosaurs.)


We topped it all off with a batch of chocolate chip and pecan cookies. Guess who got to lick the spoon!

SWEET POTATOES

We here at twolittlemonsters are excited to tell you that we have cousins halfway across the country who are blogging too! Go see!

LIKES HIS RAIN BOOTS

HAPPY MONDAY

One smiley baby girl, wishing you a happy Monday!

FIVE MONTHS

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Gus got a turkey crown.




An he learned how to play a new instrument.



And he and Nana started decorating for Christmas. Gus helped with the cresh.




Everyone was pretty tired after dinner,




and Gus finished the day by working on his entry into the turkey coloring contest for the Star Tribune. We think he's going to win the 4 and under set, don't you?


Happy Thanksgiving!

RECORD STORE NAP

Seems like just yesterday, doesn't it?

BONFIRE

Last night was probably one of the last warm nights of 2009. We had a fire in the backyard to commemorate it.


Nova helped by falling asleep watching the fire.


Gus helped by continually emptying the watering can that we keep for safety.

HAIRCUT

Gus was looking a little shaggy this week:



So we trimmed his hair (not much, I promise)


It's hard to get my little guy to sit still for anything, let alone something fun that involves scissors. Needless to say, this is not a very straight haircut. It's a slight improvement, though. You can't have everything!
