Music class

We always go way earlier to music class so Zoe can play at 'my urban toddler' before class. Henry is still sleeping:


... And Zoe needed to recharge her energy a plain bagel:

Sunday

Alright, so I almost forgot I have this blog *lol*... I'm so busy with everything around here that I again forgot to take pictures and now I have a few spare minutes I can update you. Henry is chilling out / sleeping on me right now and Zoe is busy watching Sesame Street. She loves that show and is allowed one show a day.
She was supposed to go out with her Dad but since she didn't wanna put on the Shirt, she can't go outside... it's too cold with just a onesie and jacket. But maybe she refuses to wear the shirt since Frank tries to put her into a Ravens shirt *lol*... (the Baltimore Football Team.... sundays is football here in the USA...).
So how are we doing? Very well... we're very busy of course and I do my new thing the meal planning for the week and I go grocery shopping once a week (Sunday mornings). I just try to make it easier on my part since it takes forever to go grocery shopping with two kids (Zoe stops the groove all the time by wanting to eat one of the items in the cart, wants to see the fishes, wants to get out of the cart... etc.) and then I don't have much space in the cart with two kids either... so why going through all this if you can have it WAY easier :)... now I plan my next weeks' meals on FR and SAT and Sunday morning after Zoe is done with her breakfast I take Henry out shopping with me get everything we need and Frank goes out with Zoe or just stays home. That works out way better for everybody and I have a peaceful and quiet shopping trip *lol*...
My new hobby is cooking! I actually plan different meals and really cook... not just steam vegetables and throw a piece of meat on the BBQ *lol*... and it's so much fun. I really like it a lot and it tastes so good, my spicing is getting a lot better as well. So if you have any easy recipes for me, mail me :)... I'm always grateful for easy and quick and delicious.
OH NOOO... my hubby just said it: 'Babe, I wanna watch the game!'
As you can see... sunday afternoon's football has reached our household as well. Well, I'm gonna check my recipe for today's dinner and will start cooking *Yammi*...
Oh, another great information for you guys! I can zip up my pre-pregnancy jeans again *TSCHAKKA*... of course is my belly not yet slim and tight... still working on that... but I can wear the old jeans and it's ok :)... ok... gotta go... wanna prepare a nice dinner for my family. Btw, the Ravens are not looking good... in about 10 min. my hubby will turn off the TV and say: 'oh, I can't watch this'... he's way too funny *lol*. 10 min later he'll switch it on again to take it peak if they recovered and then it'll either be ' oh no, I can't watch that' or he'll continue watching it if they caught up...

Gone Fishing...

... I don't catch fish but smiles *lol*

Henry's Doc Appointment

Yesterday we had to go to the doctor with Henry for his next set of shots and 'checkup'. The only thing was that he prefers to put his head right facing (as you can also see in this picture *lol*) and we should encourage him to also place it to the left sometimes... but nothing to worry about.

The other thing was his growth and man did he grew!!! He was 8lbs 9oz at birth, right? So I figured after 6 weeks, he might be about 10lbs since he looked already so big to me... come to find out, this little guy is already almost 12 lbs!!! (11lbs and 15oz)... I couldn't believe it!!! (50% length and 80% weight)... well, let's blame it on the Halloween Candy *lol*

Zoe is playing a lot and is very creative, explores new things here and there and if she's not taking care of her brother she takes care of her little doll like here she was sitting with him on the 'bench' telling him all kinds of stories :)... oh man, she looks so big too... what happens here? 

Alcohol

This is what I found during my shopping trip today... No comment *lol*

Halloween Party in Chicago

Here we have some pics (I had to steal from Stephanie's blog *g*) from our Halloween Party in Chicago. Zoe refused to wear her costume (pumpkin) so there are no pics from her.

Henry's Birth Announcement

This is for everybody who didn't receive one and I'm very sorry for that... We ordered 90 and they all got sent out... unfortunately I had to made cuts on my side since I ran out of them and I started with Frank's side first... next time I'll order more (or start with my side first *lol*...)... I just know too many lovely people :)
