We spent the majority of the week preparing for Halloween! This is one of my favorite holidays and I was so excited that Carter really got into it this year too. Although, he still has a problem with getting his hands dirty when carving pumpkins and prefers to use a spoon to dig out the seeds. This Halloween really made me realize how old he is getting. We went trick or treating on Thursday night (does anyone know why we don't trick or treat on Halloween?) and I helped him at the first stop to make sure he said trick or treat and thank you. At then next stop, I tried to help him again and he said, "Mom, I'm old enough to do it by myself" Okay then... He had fun trick or treating with his friend Lilly and they came home with a ton of loot. On Friday he got to wear his costume to preschool and trick or treat at some Waukee businesses. I was pretty impressed his favorite things in his bucket were some playdoh and a glow in the dark stick.
Claire didn't dress up this year, but wore an outfit Carter had as a baby. We took some pictures of her in the candy bowl. We did the same with Carter as a baby...here's the comparison.
Claire had a big week. She is officially laughing and she rolled from her back to her belly last night! Jeremy and I were just talking how we don't think she is as developmentally as far along as Carter was at this age. Carter rolled over at 15 weeks, Claire is 14 weeks today. She totally surprised us. She has such a laid back personality that it shocked us that she went after a toy placed out of her reach, as she usually just smiles at things. She didn't even make a peep when she had her arm pinned under her and was "stuck" she just kept smiling! She also turned 3 months old on the 27th. Here is her 3 month picture with bear.
Jeremy and I had our first official date since Claire was born. We went to the Metallica concert last Sunday night. I felt really old watching the "kids" in the "mosh pit" and I kept thinking to myself, " I hope nobody ends up with a head injury after all that banging around" We ended up with great seats as the section we were to sit in was closed ( they apparently didn't sell enough tickets). My ears are still ringing. It was so loud our seats vibrated the whole time...maybe it jiggled some fat off.
My goal this week is to figure out how to download some video so I can share Claire laughing with everyone! It will make you smile! :)

Carter was such a cute pirate! I loved the earring. I can't believe how big Claire is getting, really just looking at the picture of her next to the bear its amazing to see how much she has grown.
