Halloween

Frankie was a very cute tiger for Halloween this year, as you can see. He didn't want to stand up normal for the picture.

 And it looks like he's already picked out his costume for next year. As long as his head doesn't grow too much, he can be a popcorn popper. He's been wearing the top to our popcorn popper on his head all night (he calls it his "football hat")

Deep Thoughts

"If you turn your head all the way to the side, your nose looks like the letter E." - Charlie

And another from Charlie as I was tucking him in tonight: "When I grow up I'm going to marry Debbie. But if Debbie married someone else, I will marry Gia. And if Gia marries someone else, I will marry.....Tenly. And if Tenly marries someone else, I will marry Kaitlyn! And if Kaitlyn marries someone else, I will marry....(long pause) I'm done talking about this now." And then he fell asleep.

Happy Birthday, Frankie

Frankie turned 2 about six weeks ago. So I guess that's how far behind I am. Anyway, once again he was fortunately to have his birthday 4 days after his cousin Gabby's so my sister could make a beautiful Elmo birthday cake for them.  I made a mediocre-looking but tasty cake for his actual birthday at home.

He really, really enjoys the "Happy Birthday Song" as you can tell from this video. He now sings it whenever we light a candle. Seth and I also got quite a kick out of Sam casually dancing while we were singing.
