funny kiddos

caleb and i were shopping for rebekah's angel wings and halo, when i asked him what he wanted to be for halloween. we have several costumes from the past years, so i was rattling off different ideas to him. tigger? no mom, chicken little? no mom, bee? no way. ok what do you want to be? he points to a wall of pictured costumes. i told him to go over and show me which he wanted. he pointed to spiderman. i wasn't planning on buying a costume for him, since we have others, but it's worth it if he will wear the darn thing without fighting me on it! i helped him try it on before we bought it to see if it was the right size. and that was that. he didn't take it off the rest of the day. never mind that we were going to walmart. or meeting grandma. or eating lunch. he took it off for about 20 min, then the kids came home from school, and he had to show them. so back on it went. he would have slept in the dumb thing if i let him! after a few days the stigma has worn off, and he doesn't ask about it every day......just every other!
then, i'm not sure how this happened, but he thought it was hilarious and ran around with shorts on his head the entire evening. it was a crack up.

rachel has decided she is not full enough just nursing, so we started her on rice cereal about a week ago. she loves it. not like the other kids who spit it everywhere, she is always looking for the next bite. and she's so little, only weighs 13lb 5oz, with a very wet diaper on! but she is 25 in long now, tall and skinny!
and when she wears these pretty dresses, i can't help but take pics! how adorable!! :)
