I decided that I wanted to start this list in hopes of remembering some of the cute things that the girls are doing and saying. It is almost too hard to recall it all, so here is what I can as of right now...
Some of Hayden's words and their meanings...
"Dirty Horse" this is what she calls a Paint horse
"Hanger" when driving along the road and she sees a construction crane
"Pia" and "Sarah" the names we have given the Fisher Price Little People
"Taka" the name they have given to Baby Sissy
Favorite Songs:
Without a doubt Wheels on the Bus! It may have even passed Itsy Bitsy Spider. We also sing a song in one of our classes about Monkeys and Alligators. So cute, video to follow.
Other favorites...
When we are driving around they both always ask to see cows and horses. My response
is typically, "Maybe, you have to keep your eyes open." So now when ever we are in the car and they say they want to see a horse or a cow one of the girls (usually Hayden) says "Have to keep your eyes open."
Jonas' favorite Hayden phrase is the ever lasting "No Daaaaadddy." When he comes home from work they play soccer/keep away or have tickle wars and she always ends with a "No Daaaddddyyy." It is so cute.
The other day Taylor and I were getting her dressed and out of nowhere she said "I so cute." She doesn't even know the half of it!
When they are eating meals I usually pull up a chair to drink my tea or eat along side with them and they both look at me and almost in unison say "Well, hello there. What are you having for dinner?"
When either of them want help or want to be held they say "Help-e You" or "Momma Hold you." For a while Hayden was saying "Sit you" when she wanted to be held. So precious, these are the things I don't want to correct.
That is about all for now...I am sure there are tons more and I will try to add to them as I remember them!

Happy Halloween!!!
The month of October was a blast!
The girls really got into it this year with visits to the Pumpkin Patch with friends and again with family. They LOVED decorating the house for Halloween. Hayden walked out almost every day from her nap and said "Look at all the Halloween decorations!" They loved driving by houses with pumpkins and scarecrows in the front yard and of course got very excited for this thing called Trick or Treating.
So, when the big day arrived the girls were prepped and ready to go. They still didn't completely "get it" but they had their bags and knew that we were going to visit our neighbors. It did not take long for them to figure out that when they pushed the door bell and said trick or treat something would get deposited in their treat bag. We had our friend Catherine "The Frog" Drain with us and I think we hit about 12 houses. The girls were ready for more having fun (and getting a little nervous) when they saw people all dressed up. I think the parents were the ones who were ready to call it quits. Plus, we had to get back to our house so that we could answer the door for our trick or treaters.
I have to say, that was one of my most favorite parts of the whole thing. EVERY time the doorbell rang Hayden would perk up, open her mouth wide and say "Ohhh, who's that???" She would run to the door, help open it and proudly comment on all the costumes. We were very excited to see Cinderella visit us and some other witches. Mom loved the homemade Whoopee cushion. The neighborhood was full of kids and we ran out of candy at 8pm, thanks to Jonas letting a bunch of 12 year old boys "take as much as they want." But we had a blast and the girls fell asleep dreaming of tricks and treats! It just keeps getting better and better!!!
Here are some pictures of the fun we had during the month of October...hope you all had a great Halloween!!!
