Independently Monkey.

I hope that this is proof of the sass I see on a daily basis now! A little bit of belly, a lot of attitude, and a smattering of, "Momma!!" Despite their continued insolence, I love them!

In a way, Jay and I feel like this was our first real Halloween with the bebes. It was definitely the first one where they were interactive in their costumes and pumpkins. Also, pumpkin is the word of the day, every day, for the past month.

As Thanksgiving is a week away, I've been trying to impress upon them that the word is "Turkey" (also known as: the bird is the word. DUH!) Monk is a little less resistant than Mini to this change, but it comes out sounding suspiciously like, "Cookie."

These were our personalized Halloween costumes of the year; Monk was Princess Minnie Mouse, just like her beloved stuffed animal, and Mini was a lion. Rawr!!

You may notice that Mini's costume is the same as last year, but there is a valid explaination... She was waaaaay too cutie in it!! I was about to convert the costume into a doggie, (one of Mini's favorite words) but I wanted her to try on the suit to make sure it still fit. What we found out was that it was even cuter than last year! Eventually, Mini decided to dress it up a little, with Monk's discarded tiara.

We have had a few of the fall sickies going around.. I know this picture is a little pitiful, but it is so ridiculously adorable!! Daddy Jay didn't feel all too well either, and they had the same hair-do.

Of course, we got to feeling better, and decided to take some promo pictures for PBR. Well, not really- but they would be fools not to want to use this face for their ad campaign!

Speaking of faces- can you believe this one!?!! Miss Sarah came to visit, and bought Monk this pretty lobster dress. We couldn't get the dang thing off of Monk for 4 DAYS!!!! Then she got a pretty girl makeover.. WOWZA!

Of course, Mini didn't want anyone to give HER a makeover, she'll do it HERSELF!!!!
