Happy Halloween 2009!

We had a great Halloween this year! It was Sebastian's first and Helena's second. We started the day off at Kackleberry Farms in Louisville, GA with Oma, Opa, Aunty Con Con, and Audrey. Unfortunately, my camera battery died about 10 minutes after we arrived!


Helena was very excited about Kackleberry Farms!!!


Audrey was just as excited and super cute!


This giant haystack/pillow bouncing thing takes a little getting used to, especially for the little ones.



Helena quickly warmed up to it!



Catching some air!!! Then my camera died. Helena and Audrey enjoyed the Farm so much! They rode the cow train, went down the slides, swang, colored in the Chicken Coop, fed the baby goats and sheep, petted the baby chicks, and watched piggy races. Helena even rode the zip line! We enjoyed ourselves so much!

When we got home, it was time for baths, dinner, and costumes! Helena was a "Leny-bug" again, and Sebastian was a bumble bee!


Helena, always the big helper!


Sebastian thinks Helena is so funny...he'll giggle at most things that she does!



Helena helped "Bas-chin" put on his hoodie.


He didn't love the hoodie part very much.



Helena loved her wings!





Sebastian always watches...



Dancing like a ladybug!



Helena-ladybug, Owen-Ironman, Avery-Tinkerbell, Ashley-??



Helena with the neighborhood kids...they all look thrilled that "Helena's Mommy"wants to take a picture! Thanks to Denise for Helena's headband/antenna and Jill for Helena's glow wand!


Look at my candy!!!!!

A Few Updated Photos

At the request of friends and family, I am posting a few recent pictures so everyone can see how big and how cute the kids are! I will be catching up from where I left off...just not tonight.

These are our two, precious children...the fun never ends with them! Helena thinks anything with 'Bas-chin is fun! She makes him giggle like no one else can!


Helena LOVES to read books...she goes once a week to story time at the Library and always comes home with more books to read. Sebastian enjoys a different sensory experience--tasting the books; however, it appears that Daddy's soothing voice may be helping him fall asleep.


Jill, our nanny, has great ideas and plans adventures for Helena to keep her busy...this day, Jill sent Helena on a scavenger hunt and at the end was a pair of wings! Helena LOVES to fly around the house with her wings on and thinks that she's a butterfly.


Sebastian is such a happy baby...always smiling!


Sebastian has started eating more and more and more! He loves to gnaw on bread or apples and eats as much as you'll feed him! His fine motor movements are still developing, so he chases cheerios and 'stars' around his tray until he catches them and then struggles to get them in his mouth.


Helena still loves to get in bed with Sebastian...I think we may have accidentally woken him up this morning.


Here are the Tomaszewski kids sporting brand new, adorable pajamas from Grandma and Grandpa!


Cousin AddyAnn came to stay with us for almost a week after her 4th birthday party. This picture was taken the day of her party, in Chattanooga.


After Helena's birthday in September, we saved an Oscar the Grouch cupcake, in the freezer, for Addy. Aunty Cindy/Mommy pulled the cupcakes out for dessert and the girls greatly enjoyed them!


We visited a pumpkin patch while Addy was staying with us...the girls had fun picking out pumpkins and checking out all the different, weird-looking gourds.


Uncle Mikey/Daddy pulled the girls in the wagon, with their pumpkins, which was so much fun for the girls! They wanted to bring the wagon home with us...somehow we convinced them that the pumpkins were enough.


While Addy was staying with us Audrey came to stay for a few days, also. Here is a picture of Audrey helping Addy open some more birthday presents. It was definitely an eye-opening experience going from 2 to 4 children in a matter of days! Thankfully Jill was able to keep them all occupied and they played well together.



I'm closing this blog with a picture of the 'princess', as Daddy calls her, having success on her throne!
