We got a zoo membership this year and Will loves it. We try to go whenever we're in Houston or just have a weekend with nothing to do, but we're still not sick of the zoo yet!
Lately, Will loves to be naked. He tries his best to get away from me whenever his clothes are off so he can just hang out in the nude.
And here are some random pictures I took when we found out we were having two more boys.
Anyway... Adam's work had an activity a couple weeks ago at the Dow reservoir so we got to take Will out to try and catch some fish. He wasn't really that excited about the fishing part, but he loved going out on the boat.
To continue our fall festivities, we had to get geared up for Halloween! There's not a real pumpkin patch around here, but one of the local churches sells pumpkins on their front lawn, so we took Will and let him pick out his own pumpkin.
It was a little difficult for him because he wanted to take home ALL the pumpkins and didn't want anybody else to buy any, but eventually he found the right one.
He also had a pretty good time playing on all the cute decorations they had set up. The little tractor and bench were just his size!
We weren't sure what to do with the pumpkin once we got home because we've never been very festive Halloweeners. We figured he was too little to carve, so we decided to let him paint it and it worked out great.
On Halloween our ward had a trunk-or-treat, so we took Will over there. He caught on to it really fast, and still says "trick or treat" to us whenever he wants candy. Also, he loves pirates so we dressed him up as Jake (of the Neverland pirates) and he thought that was pretty great.
The next day we got a Halloween package from Grandma Deena with sugar cookies and stuff to decorate them, so we let Will do one.
He mostly put tons of candy on it, and then ate all the candy off, licked the frosting off, and then ate the cookie. It was a pretty good weekend for him. All except for the haircut of course...
We had trimmed Will's hair before, but never cut his curls in the back. We were getting really sick of combing out his rat's nest though, so we finally just pulled out the trimmer and cut it all off.
Will doesn't really miss his hair, but he does not enjoy getting his hair cut. Hopefully he learns to cooperate a little better for future cuts. *fingers crossed*
The weather was really nice after Halloween, so we decided to take advantage of it and get this kid out of the house. Sometimes he gets a little stir-crazy in our apartment, and we didn't go outside much in the summer because it was so hot.
Will really loves being outside and picking up every stick, rock, and leaf he can find. Even when we take him to the park, he has very little interest in playing on the playground. He would rather just collect sticks.
Right before Halloween we found out there was an opening for a three-bedroom apartment in our complex, so two weeks ago we moved. Of course it was a lot of fun (moving always is) and it has been kind of crazy, but we are mostly settled now and we enjoy our new, bigger apartment.
And then this week we got to celebrate Thanksgiving! One of the families in our ward was nice enough to invite us over for dinner, so Will and I made a pie to bring over.
I forgot to take a picture of it, but it was caramel apple crumble and it turned out great. Even though we missed our families, we had a lot of fun with our friends here.
The babies are looking great. This is the best picture we've gotten of the two of them. They are growing really well and not showing any signs of TTTS but they're still monitoring me pretty closely. I still get full ultrasounds every three weeks and I see my OB every two weeks (every week soon). It's kind of a pain, but it's nice to know that they're watching our babies and it's really nice to be able to see them so often!
