Chubby Babies & Jack-Obsessed Toddlers

Happy Friday! I bet you're wondering what a Jack-obsessed toddler is?! Well, it's a toddler that can be found at any given moment singing "This is Halloween" from The Nightmare before Christmas. He is obsessed with the movie...and more specifically, it's main character Jack. We listen to it in the car...a minimum of 3 times per trip (shown below). We watch the movie once a day, usually after naptime...and then for the next 4 hours until bedtime, he sings, "I, JACK, the pumpkin king!" His poor little toddler heart is going to be broken when Halloween is over and mean ole' mom puts the movie back in the holiday movie vault until next year. Yep, crown me now...meanest.mom.EVER.

To feed into the madness, my sister who lives in Florida (uhhh, so jealous! 10 minutes from a beach?! What a jerk. Love you, Emmy!) sent him a Halloween care package in the mail. In this adorable and awesome care package was a singing Jack Skellington. So cute at first, although now I kind of want to hide it under a rock buried in the backyard...I mean, I love it! ;))

So what have we been doing besides watching The Nightmare before Christmas everyday? Oh ya know, just living the life...the life of pure & total craziness that is expected with 2 boys.

Gavin is still just as bad, awful, terrible cute as ever! That darn tooth still hasn't poked through, so he's still super clingy & whiny. Although today, so far, he has been an angel, so I shouldn't complain too much. Although I'm leaving the boys with their dad tonight to enjoy some girls only time...hopefully he retains his angel status for daddy. ;)

I've also decided there's not much cuter than a naked chubby baby. All that cuteness sure does make up for his bad, bad self!

The face KILLS ME. Seriously? So many captions come to mind...

"Are you seriously taking my picture right now."

"Don't you dare upload this to Facebook."

"Are you really talking to me right now."

"Do you really think I'm going to fall for that peek-a-boo crap?"

"The wheels on the bus go...no."

"If you call me fat one more time..."

Feel free to send me your captions...anytime I have a rough day, I will look at this picture and crack.up.laughing.

Btw, someone came crawling out of his room this week with a pretty pink paci...I have NO idea where he found out, but I'm guessing it belongs to a sweet little friend of ours, Scarlett.

Daddy & Gavin had some cuddles while watching Football. Dad heaven right there.

We went to a friend's house on Wednesday to help her decorate...Gavin was happy for ummmm...15 minutes? Cried the rest of the time and only wanted mommy. Hanging pictures and holding a baby? Not the easiest task.

We've started sitting Gavin in the cart instead of his carrier...but he hates it after 10 minutes. But the mustache pants & Sophie giraffe make it totally okay. 

We snuggled with our next addition to the mommy & baby group...little miss Gemma. Christian is so good with pregnant bellies...he pats and loves on her any chance he gets. Nice try buddy, no pregnant belly for your mom anytime soon!

Also, waking up babies is awful business. Look at this sleepy face! I had to wake him up because it was back to school for Christian. 

And then I had to wake him up again to pick big brother up...but he gave me the cutest faces ever, so all was good.

Speaking of school, Christian had an A++ first week back! His teacher said he did great...no hitting, no chokeholds...hallelujah! They got to see real fireman and a firetruck, paint pumpkins and watch a fun learning video on their new TV's (thanks for this year's school fundraiser!). And look at this little flirt...sitting at a table with all girls. Like father, like son? Oh Lord....I knew Dustin as a teenager. I was one of those girls that crushed hard on Dustin as a teenager...talk about a heartbreaker! If Christian is anything like his dad, I want to apology to any little girl (and her parents) that ends up liking him! Don't get me wrong, Dustin was a good teenager...a teenager any mom would be proud to have, but he was quite the flirt...and broke my heart on more than one occasion when I was young. Oh how the times have changed! ;)

They also played the parachute game...so jealous! That was my favorite as a kid.

Christian had some one-on-one time with his grandparents this past week. He went trick-or-treating as a shark last weekend with my dad & his girlfriend, and then this week he went with my mom as a mouse. The cutest part about this costume is that my mom made it probably 10 years ago for my little brother, and now it's being passed down! 

And that's been our week...I'll leave you with a little cuteface that thought 6am was a completely acceptable time to rise & shine.

Hope everyone enjoys this beautiful weekend!
