We're still catching up on all of the adventures of the Preston household! We've had so much going that we have encountered a ton of "firsts"! Ready? Here goes...
Children's Museum
A child's imagination comes to life! This place truly is a wonderful place to take your children if you are ever in Atlanta. Coloring on walls, dress up, balls, a machine to transport and throw those balls, Farmers Market with a tractor and cow {that moos of course}, mega blocks, train station, tunnels.... You name it, it's there! The boys were so happy they just didn't know what to do first! Unfortunately, I don't think there is any way I could manage this by myself. They were all over the place! One wants to build blocks, the other wants to run around the food truck... Whew.
Then it was off to our first Greek Festival! WOW... Let me just say ~ the food was amazing! We met our friends Carl + Sherri with their little one(s) Sofia {whom I just adore to the core} and the "Childers Bun in the Oven". We had a wonderful time catching up, listening to live music, + eating tons of food {especially the Baklava}.

Goodbye My Little Baby Boy
Baylor had is very first haircut last month. I was so proud of him! Baylor actually sat still and didn't fuss. I was also proud of myself ~ I did not shed one tear. BUT! I was on edge the entire time. He just looks like a BIG boy now. A two year old, if I dare say. It was the right decision to make though. Here is before and then after:
"Geez... the camera again?!"
Pumpkins + Hay Rides
For a fun filled morning we took the boys up to Kinsley Family Farm. We joined other mothers of multiples {North Fulton Mothers of Multiples club} to enjoy a hay ride, participate in planting a tree and picnic! We all had a blast! Here are some photos from our day

Green Acres
We took a trip down to Bartow for the weekend a couple of weeks ago. And just let me say, going down to see my family for a weekend is no small feat. The packing, checking, repacking, double checking + then finally able to say "I didn't forget anything this time" while we're on our way out of the driveway! But, it's all worth it once we get there and set up camp. This was no prop up your feet, relax for a while kind of trip though. We went to my brother's Homecoming football game that Friday night, saw cows first thing the next morning, went to visit the pigs in the barn next door, + then saw my Grandma + Papaw the next day before heading back home. Whew.... what a whirlwind! Here are the pictures to prove it:
Friday night lights ~
We had to make a pit stop on the way to my mom's... pretty fitting for Halloween huh? Hey! It was literally the only place the boys {+ dog} could run around!!
Once we touched down in Bartow we were immediately off to see the Jaguars play. The boys did really well! They were intrigued by all of the people and the players....
the pom poms + cow bells...

Not quite sure what goes through Hunter's mind when this meltdown happens... but geesh! He's a mess. Here he is with his great grandpa Papaw.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year! But now with two little ones to take care of, the celebration sure has changed a bit around here... Our neighborhood had a get together to meet everyone new, eat tons of food and celebrate before all of the trick or treaters were set loose! The boys were just as adorable this year as the year before. But this time, we dressed them according to their likes and personalities...
Meet the King of the Jungle
and the sweetest monkey you'll ever lay eyes on!

UPDATE!
Since it's been quite some time, we should get y'all updated on how the boys are doing individually!
Baylor~
~ I am the pickiest eater you have ever met. One day I like your scrambled eggs. The next, maybe not so much. I refuse to eat anything that looks like, smells like, tastes like pasta or chicken {unless it's chicken tenders of course}!
~ I love to eat crackers + all kinds of fruit though! I will never turn down a banana. Snack time is my favorite meal(s) of the day!
~ I love, love, LOVE ducks! We have so many ducks in our pond out back! Sometimes a dozen at one time. They make me soooo happy that all I can do is yell "Dugh! Dugh!" + drag mommy over to the window to look with me.
~ Reading + puzzles are really becoming an important part of my daily routine. I still love Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Eric Carle. But now, I love the book even more because I can push the sliding tabs myself!
~ I love to be tickled!
~ I have an infectious laughter. I think that is why they are always tickling me!
~ Playing with planes + cars is so much fun. Hunter + I like to fly them through the air and pretend that we are driving!
~ I really love my brother. A lot. I hug him and give him kisses so much!
~ I now have 14 teeth!!! My bottom two molars came in the first week of November, then on my 16mo birthday, I received the "blessing" of two more up top. Woohoo! I love waking everyone up at 5am!
~ Stairs having nothing on me! I just grabbed on to the rails one day and walked down... Piece of cake!
~ I am really good at kicking the ball now!
~ Run. Run. Run. Run....
~ I know all sorts of things! Ask me about my ears, nose, toes, feet, hands, animals and their noises... I can even whistle through a straw for you!
~ My face has the sudden urge to do this
Hunter~
~ I am always smiling + laughing! I have the funniest laugh ever. "har har har har.... AH heh heh heh heh....!" It is such a loud laughter that everyone turns to see.
~ I love to run around the house with Baylor. We will chase each other or mommy + daddy will run after us! It is so much fun!!!!
~ Sitting down with a book or imaginary play with cars + planes is what I love to do... Just ask and I'll show you have to drive!
~ I am such a fast learner. I know my ear, nose, toes, feet, hands, belly button, sounds that animals make, all sorts of animals, how to turn everything on + off {drives mommy crazy!}.... I could go on, but don't want to sound too obnoxious
~ Hanging around is pretty awesome. No. Literally. I like to hang upside down!
~ I am getting really good at throwing the ball around.
~ I am very sensitive. I get this from my mommy...
~ I love hugs + kisses. I give nice, juicy open mouth kisses! Want one? Sorry, they're only for mommy. {daddy + Baylor get lucky every now + then!} Here I am doing what I do best
~ I had a P-Day {Poop Day} myself this week! Mommy was on all fours cleaning out the entire playroom with Clorox wipes and washing all of the toys that were dirty. Stupid diapers.
~ "Car. Car. Car. Car. Car. Car. Car. CAR!" This is what I sound like in a parking lot.
Some fun photos to browse through!
Does this remind you of any movie in particular?!
Dinosaur Train! Our favorite these days
" I didn't do it!"
They both like to make silly faces!

Exchanging of the food
In my silly aprons when I cook...
It's like looking in a mirror...
B tries to undress himself at night. I don't know if he's hot or what. But it's pretty funny in the AM!
David's best friend Grant was over for the weekend. Don't they look like a cute lil' family?!
Since this post was extremely long, I will have to dedicate my next update to my surprise. I know! I am the world's worst at this. But, I do promise that it will be worth your while. At lease I think so...
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving this week or will celebrate what you are thankful for where ever you may be!
XOXO
