A week of firsts and a new birth :)






So the big firsts this past week were... Brooks had his first hair cut. My mom came over and we kind of just buzzed it with the clippers. I only have an inch guard on the ones I use to cut Pat's hair. So she brought over her inch and a quarter guard. That baby fine hair is not the easiest thing to get even, even with the swiftness of clippers. But because it's a little shorter, and somewhat even now I had to do a spikey do. Now he really is my little Pat clone :).

The other first was my very first batch of homemade Halloween sugar cookies. Yes completely homemade, even the frosting. And they were SUCH a pain in my arse that I do believe it may also be the very last batch ;). They were yummy though.










And we also added one more boy to the family. Pat's Bro had his baby over the weekend. He is such a cutie. So we now have three boy cousins on Pat's side (the first grand babies too btw) that are about three months apart from each other. Brooks and Alex being six months apart, Jack in the middle three months from Brooks and three months apart from Alex, does that make sense? Holidays are going to be a handful in the future. Brooks was almost the exact same size as little Alex and I still can't not believe my little monster was ever that little...or sweet. (jk).

I love Brooks' hair like that! It is so dang cute! I'm not sure if we are going to that concert cause it's at 7 and Jerzie goes to bed at 7:30. I might put her down and go late. We'll see. We need to get together though. Maybe we could meet at Spoon Me next week. Have you had their yogurt? Sooooooo Yummy!

Love his haircut, that's always a bit emotional, cutting off their sweet little hair! Those cookies look so good, there's nothing better than homemade sugar cookies. Maybe one more batch wouldn't kill ya? You know where to find me:) P.S. If you hear from Mary, tell her ditto for me!

I'm thinking, you like Halloween! Cute background!
Do what I do, buy sugar cookie dough all ready made and just bake them! So much less work and the smell in the house is exactly the same :) Don't listen to me, I suck at cooking.
Your baby is so cute, I love the front picture with his two little teeth!
