Naughty or Nice...

Probably more naughty than nice, but I'm two and cute and forgiven quickly! Mom, Dad, and Nini took me to see Santa the other day, they joked about leaving me with him because it was the quietest I've ever been.

Remember me?

So, it has been embarrassing long since the last post. Our apologies to great grandparents and grandparents who have been asking!!!

Gigi sent a giant chocolate Turkey for Thanksgiving, don't tell mom but I preferred it to the turkey she made!


A note from Corbin's mommy: Corbin is talking up a storm! We frequently ask him if his jaw hurts because he is NEVER quiet. The other day we were driving in the car and after about 15 minutes of incessant talking Kurt and I decided we would count how long the next moment of silence would last..we got to about 4 seconds and as if grappling to find something to fill the silence Corbin blurts out "Hi...I'm Corbin!" He is getting excited for Jesus' birthday, but said that he gets to blow out the candles on his cake. I don't think Jesus will mind. He has started a new saying whenever asked to do something he doesn't want to do or doesn't want to admit doing...Corbin do you have to go potty? "No, not me, not Corbin!" I asked Corbin yesterday, "How old are you?" he responded "2" "How old is mommy?" "8" "How old is daddy?" "Old." Corbin keeps us busy and keeps us laughing!

A roarin' good time!

If there was an award for horrible parent, we would get it! We didn't have a camera on Halloween...terrible right? But our neighbor was kind enough to let us snap a few shots so we could capture our cute lion on his big night. The first few houses were slightly confusing to Corbin. He traded candy with each homeowner. I like to think he was polite and wanted to give them a treat because they gave him one. But at about house 4 he was a pro!
Some Corbin quotes of the night:
Some houses just left a bowl of candy on a stool for the kids to take..He would go take a piece of candy and come back kind of sad and say "It was just a stool."
Another house had ghosts on the porch, Corbin told the homeowner, "I like the snowmen."
At one house there were two bulldogs, Corbin turned to them and growled like a lion. He showed them who was boss!

Upon returning home Corbin dumped out is candy and began SWIMMING in his goodies. Just like Scrooge McDuck in all his gold. He jumped and skipped and surveyed his candy for the remainder of the night.

Fall Time!

Some pictures of Fall time fun.





What I love about these pictures is what they don't show...
they don't show that Kurt and I didn't pull the car over for Corbin to go the bathroom-we told him to hold it...BIG mistake...
they don't show a mom not prepared with an extra pair of pants or underware. He borrowed some of our friends upon arrival. He squished into a pair of 18 month jeans. On the positive the bottom of his pants didn't get muddy!
they don't show Corbin crying as he became COVERED in burs...
they don't show the bloody ear Corbin received when Kurt leaned over and the camera smashed into Corbin's face...
But we did have fun!





Enjoying some fruits of the labor!

Baking Cookies!

After practicing with Play Doh for a while, Corbin decided he needed to make REAL cookies. He loves to "help" use the mixer and DUMP in the ingredients. He tried about every ingredient that went in, and I think he decided flour was not that great! He enjoyed rolling out the dough and cutting out shapes, getting them to the cookie sheet was a bit more of a challenge. He wanted to enjoy them right away...so he watched them cook.

Kickin' Rocks

There is a long walk to daddy's football field, but LOTS of rocks. Mom thinks the rocks make the walk longer, but I'm determined to kick a rock the WHOLE way!

I know it has been a while since my last post, but mom can't find the camera and uses nini's when she gets the chance. But don't worry, I am still as busy and curious as ever. I rarely sit down which I'm sure concerns mom when she is trying to "teach" me. Just when she thinks that I'm not listening or learning I will dazzle her with some new ability to assure her that I am understanding- I am just a multi tasker! I know my colors, much to my dad's dismay PINK is a favorite. I am using bigger sentences to communicate, I rarely stop talking...I'm tyring to build up my jaw muscles. I can sing the abc's and count to 14. I still LOVE to drum, run, kick, swing, throw, splash, eat, drink, and wrestle...maybe one day it will read snuggle, sleep, and read - but you are only two once and I am getting the most out of it I can!!

I wanna go FAST!
