HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I was so excited for this Halloween. We haven't had a single trick-or-treater in 5 years of marriage, but we are now in a neighborhood where they actually do it! Most of the people handing out candy were sitting outside enjoying the nice weather, so Ethan didn't have to knock on too many doors. He really got a kick out of saying "Chicka Cheeeet" and getting candy in his "punk". He only got scared once at a really decked out house. He wasn't put off by the decorations or music so we went up the drive way, but the vampire guy in the garage was not willing to loose the scary Transylvanian accent for a scared little dinosaur. I was a little annoyed at that. Ethan got close enough to get the candy, then he wanted out!
All in all, he had a great time and doesn't quite understand why we can't do it every night.


Time to get down to business and check out this candy.

Eric's parents came up for the weekend. Ethan loved having them here. He cried for a long time after they left.

Pumpkin Carving

Sorry, I haven't felt like blogging in a while. I guess we just haven't done anything blog worthy.

We carved our pumpkin yesterday. Ethan was a little hesitant at first to touch the seeds, but soon got over it. He helped me bake the seeds and loved watching Eric carve.

He kept eating the inside of the pumpkin lid.

It's a Boy!....and a Girl!

I had the ultrasound this morning. Everything looks good so far. Baby A was being pretty difficult and wouldn't move around so the tech looked at Baby B first. He is always moving a lot, and we could tell right away that he's a boy. She still couldn't get a great shot of Baby A so I had to move around a lot to get her to start kicking. She tried for a long time, then finally Eric said "oh Audrey I think you're going to get your wish" the tech had finally gotten a good shot and she agreed that it is a girl. whew! I am so excited. I got a little nervous when the first one was a boy. The thought of having 3 little Ethan's running around kind of makes my blood pressure rise. I really wanted one of each. I don't know a lot about child psychology, but I figure Ethan won't feel left out because he'll have the boy thing in common with Baby B. And Baby A will have the twin thing in common with Baby B. So they can all bond and be happy, well adjusted children. (one could hope)

So congrats to all who guessed right. Go out and buy yourself a prize. I know my parents are going out tonight to celebrate the news. (any excuse, right?)

Baby Guess

We are supposed to find out the sexes of the babies tomorrow (Tuesday). I know this is short notice, as many of you don't check our blog every day, but I want everyone's guesses. I put up a poll on the side, but you have to comment here too if you want credit for being right.

Hopefully they will be cooperative and show off for the camera. I'll let you know tomorrow!

Um... Nevermind

So, this morning Ethan and I went out to feed the bunny. He had escaped from his box again and was sitting by the fence. We went over with some food and water, but he did not seem interested at all. I could tell something was not right. He wouldn't move much and barely drank any water. We left him alone hoping he was just sleepy or something. I went out during Ethan's nap to see what was up and this time the bunny was laying down in the grass not moving... or breathing...
Yep, he didn't last a week with us. I hope it wasn't anything we did or could have prevented. Maybe we have some poisonous plants in our yard? Or maybe he was sick?

I didn't think I was that sad about it, but when Eric came home and I told him about it I started crying (I am pregnant though, I'll cry at an ice cream commercial). So I guess I liked the little guy. He was pretty cute.

I told Ethan that the bunny had to go home. I don't think he understood. I'll see tomorrow when he wakes up and wants to go play with it.

I just hope its few days with us were happy and that it enjoys bunny heaven.

So it seems we have a pet now...

The other day we were on a walk around the neighborhood. I stopped to talk to the lady across the street and Eric and Ethan went on. A few minutes later, I see Eric bolting across the street after a rabbit. The poor thing was being chased by a cat. Eric picked it up, so now we are responsible for the thing. We went to the houses we thought it might have come from, but we haven't found the owner.
It is a very tame friendly bunny and Ethan loves it. It's the first thing he talks about in the morning. We'll see how long it will stay at our house. It escaped from its box today, but it stayed in the yard all day hiding in a bush and eating grass.

Here is a video of Ethan and the bunny. It stops abruptly because I ran out of memory.
