McKinley Jane and Grant Alan

I'm doing the October Recap early because next postingings will be Halloween and DISNEYLAND!! YAY! McKinley dancing in her ballerina outfit! Grant at messy playday at our house! Yes, she even sleeps with her sunglasses on! One night we had a one hour crying fit b/c she woke up in the middle of the night wanting them back on and I refused to go in there and put them back on at 2 a.m.! This is pretty much what my day consists of EVERYDAY.... I'm pretty sure my mom never let me eat like this.. Enjoying some rare Arizona rain Artwork courtesy of grant and mckinley..we are taking orders if you're interested Jumping from footstool to couch....again, something my mom didn't allow :-))))) Yet another place they like to climb when I'm not looking.

He will climb ANYTHING (kitchen counters, bathroom counters, changing table, dresser, etc). I often find him on the kitchen counters turning the microwave on! The other day I found both of them sitting on the changing table with the bottle of desitin and purell emptied out! I did have to grab a quick pic before they got in trouble! McKinley: She is all GIRL! Talk, talk, talk! She will talk whether or not you're listening! Speech is obviously no issue for her! Her big thing this past month has been her babies that she carries around. She will feed them, put them night night. She's such a good mommy! The thing we're most excited about is the change in weather!! We...
