15 months

I've said it before and I'll say it again, baby proof your office! I don't know why I keep thinking I can handle the boys at their checkups by myself. I was prepared this time. I had toys, snacks, binkies, books. It is impossible to keep two 15 month olds entertained and out of trouble in a 5x8 room for very long. I was literally dripping sweat like I had just run a marathon when I left. This stage is by far, hands down, times a thousand the very hardest stage so far. It really can't get any worse, can it? Please tell me it can't. Here's a sneak peak at the mayhem in the Colledge house...

I had to empty these shelves long ago. Now they try to climb them.


 They also did this same thing to Lily's room a few hours later, but I was too ticked to get a picture



I heard screaming, this is what I found. Jax's head is stuck. McKade had to undo the disposal to get him out.


Of course they are lots of fun and we love them, but man they wear us out!

15 month stats
Jet: 21 lbs 14 oz (12%) 32 3/4 in (89%)
Jax: 22 lbs 5 oz (20% highest % for weight ever!) 32 3/4 in (89%)

Halloween

I've decided that Halloween is exhausting as a parent. Maybe that's just because my kids were onery and not very cooperative. We took them trick or treating to auntie Dano's house, grandma Leslies, and grandpa Dave's. They warmed up by the time we got to my dads, of course that was our last stop. Lily was Rapunzel, no surprise there since she has been obsessed since she got Tangled for Easter. The boys were both chickens, and really not too thrilled about it.

This was my attempt at a family pic before we left. Yeah...it didn't work out, as you can see.



Lily as Rapunzel. She was more excited about the hair than the dress.



In the car on the way to Dano & Derek's.


And Rapunzel fell asleep on the ten minute drive there, so of course was super onery when we got there and would not have anything to do with anyone or anything.

Derek sporting Rapunzel's hair in an attempt to get Lily to laugh...It didn't work but he sure looks good ;)


Jet (or Jax, I don't know) watching his weird uncle wear girl hair
