Potty Prize

Andrew earned $4 worth of stars on his potty chart and he got this Scooby Doo puzzle as his prize!! Maybe NOW I can coerce him.........we shall see!!!

Bella Befana Bazaar

Today we went to a bazaar on base and Andrew got a motorcycle balloon and a hand-crafted wooden train from an Italian dealer. There weren't any rides like we thought, but we enjoyed walking around and looking at all the stuff they had from different Italian vendors. There was a lot Adam and I wanted, but most of it was VERY EXPENSIVE, for example $2500 paintings and $50 for a chunk of cheese!!! We should have won the lottery before being stationed here!!!! But we had fun window shopping anyway!!!!

Reaching

Riley has started to notice things that interest him...AND diving for them!! He noticed the ghost while we were sitting at the table and decided he was going to go for it!!!

The Many Faces Of Riley

As we are trying to eat lunch, Riley decided to put on a little "personality" show for Andrew and I; I couldn't help but snap pictures, first he started smirking and then he stuck his tongue out at me and THEN he decided to laugh about it; what am I to do with these little monkeys? HAHAHAHA!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

The boys struck gold today...Halloween packages came from Grammy and Grampy AND Mimi and Papa!! Lots of candy, cool books, stickers, flashlights, and LOTS more!!! Andrew also got a cool "SPOOKY" shirt and Riley got a pumpkin outfit!! Don't they look ready to SCARE????

BMW 520i

Adam brought his new car home last night... FINALLY!! We were waiting for it to get repaired and inspected before the guy could sell it to us, but it is all set now!!!

"Andrew Whistle"

It is obvious that Andrew watches too much Thomas when....he has his own "Andrew whistle"!!!

Canyon/Teeth

Grammy and Grampy sent a lot of goodies in the box with the halloween decorations; the thing Andrew was the most excited to see was his canyon!!! He is also wearing a Tshirt they sent that has a picture of the 5 of us (Grammy, Grampy, Mommy, Andrew & Riley) from the Day Out With Thomas, you just can't see it very well in the picture!!

In the past month I have also started brushing Riley's teeth, he seems to really enjoy it; like a massage on those sore gums; he is so cute I thought I would share with everyone!!

Window Clings

Grammy and Grampy sent us some Halloween decorations to put up, this is what Andrew decided to do with the window clings; what art!!

Gigglin' Gus

Andrew, Riley and I carved our pumpkin this morning into Gigglin' Gus. I cheated and used a kids pattern book but it was a lot of fun, we'll have to do more next year!!

Discovery

Riley has discovered his feet and he even tries to stick them in his mouth now, haha!! I don't think he realizes quite yet that they are attached though, I am sure if he gnaws them too hard he will figure it out the hard way!! He is even blowing a bubble in this picture which probably means he is....thinking he may want to eat them NOW!!

Our Sunday

Adam was looking at something on the computer and Andrew and Riley were just staring at the screen with him, I thought that was so cute so I snapped a picture!! The boys look so much like him in this picture!! At the grocery store Andrew got a finger painting book; here he is trying it out!! He made quite a mess, but that is the fun of being 3 years old!!!
