"Don't you talk at me like that Mommy" says Noelle when I try to be stern with her
While painting Noelle stepped down to whipe off some paint. I was doodling and when Noelle comes back to the table and sees what I did, thinking it was her own, she says, "Wow! I am such a great artist!"
Max is always referred to as "Mr. Meat hooks." or just "Meat hooks". She will say things like, "Hi Meat hooks, how are you?" Poor little guy actually responds to his new name!
When Max does something he is not supposed to Noelle usually says to me, "Mommy your son is a troublemaker!". Or when he gets up from a nap, "Mom your son is up."
Max now has two teeth (not relevant to this little story but I wanted to document it anyways) and can take up to five steps on his own. Every time he does take steps Noelle always says, "He's taking his first steps again!"
A favorite character of Noelle is Barack Obama...anytime a commercial comes on with him in it, she starts laughing hysterically. I mean, on the floor rolling around and wants to watch it over and over. When we ask her why she thinks he is so funny she comments that his name is very silly!
Max is getting better at walking and Noelle loves to hold his hands and help him along. Sometimes she goes too fast and he falls over, then she pulls him back up. The poor little guy loves it despite being dragged around.
Moving on to this weekend
On Friday Tom took the children to his Dad's house while I relaxed and enjoyed some much needed alone time. They left when Tom got home from work and didn't get back until 7:00pm on Saturday. I had over 24 hours of alone time! It was wonderful to say the least. I didn't know how much I really needed this break.
Before they left on Friday, Noelle got her Halloween costume in the mail. I had asked her what she wanted to be and gave her a bunch of ideas. She was set on being a doctor. I found a great costume online and had "Roehrig MD" embroidered on the jacket, and it came with a real stethoscope. Noelle was instantly smitten with the costume and called herself, "Noelle Roehrig MD" while wearing it. I know it will be something that she dresses up in for years to come.
While I was sleeping in on Saturday, cleaning, and relaxing, Tom, Granpa Roehrig and the children went to a local (to Sturgis, Mi) apple/pumpkin farm and had great fun. The pictures speak for themselves:
That's it for now...we're off to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather outside!

Look out Doogie Howser MD, here comes Noelle Roehrig MD. I love the costume. Olivia loves playing Dr. so it seems like a great idea that will get much use even after Halloween.
