Getting Ready for Halloween

Levi's great-aunt, Tante Guilou sent him some fun halloween window decorations.

It was a great way to welcome Fall and get excited about Halloween--and of course, Levi wanted to do it "all by myself."

And he did do it by himself...and he was so very proud!

Thanks Tante Guilou for helping us start off the Halloween festivities with a bang!

Bowtie Levi

Sorry for the relative silence in the blog. We have been all over the place with weddings and summer planning etc.

More soon. But until then, we leave you with this...Levi at his Uncle Shaun's wedding...fun time ;-)

Snow Day 2/10/2010!

We meant to upload these pictures of our snow day weeks ago. This was the first of two (yes, two) snow days in NYC this February. The first time in 6 years that NYC public schools were off!

And of course, Levi took advantage of the fine playground weather.

Behold, the abomidable SNOWLEVI (du du dum)!

He was a little wobbly on his feet at first...

But soon gained confidence and began plotting his next course through the snow drifts:

Mommy taught Levi how to catch snowflakes on his tongue:

Persistence

The scene: 6:00am, Saturday, Our Room.

Kevin has sleepily stumbled from our bed to Levi's room and returned with a very awake toddler. Kevin settles them both into bed with the hope of catching a few more zzzzs...

Levi: Mama, Daddy....WAKE UP!

Tasha: No Levi, not time yet.

Levi: Luuunch?

Kev: No Levi, go to sleep.

Levi: (trying again) Breakfuust?

Tasha: Levi, please just go night night. (rolls over and pretends to sleep)

Levi: Mac n' Cheese?

Kev: (groans) No mac n' cheese Levi, it nighttime.

Levi: b'nana?

Tasha: (still pretending), no, no b'nana.

Levi: ohs?, bar? (cheerios, cereal bar)

Kev: Levi! No. You. Sleep. (grumble, grumble)

All is silent for a while. Levi seems to settle in to the pillows; draping an arm around Tasha's head. Kevin's snores resume.

Tasha: (slowing fading into dreamland...)

Levi: Luuunch?
