Halloween

Happy Halloween Everyone!

The boys had another fun filled, not to mention party filled, Halloween.

Jonathan was Curios George this year. Originally we wanted to me a monster ghost. However, once I finished making the ghost costume he changed his mind. I thought he was pretty cute as the monkey.

Alex was a ghost. This is the closest I got to a smile from him. He was very shy about people looking at him. Although, by the time we got to trick or treating he was running around saying boo to everyone much easier.

Last week, we did the "Horribles Parade". It is basically a 1/4 mile walk from a park to the high school. We follow a fire truck and police car. At the high school local business' hand out candy. Which means the boys have candy a week early, which means they loved it.

We carved two pumpkins this year. That way both boys could pick a face to go on them. I haven't gotten a picture of Jonathan's yet but I will get on that soon.

Finished!

Here they are heading out for there first trick or treating on Friday night. It was actually trunk or treating at our complex. Everyone parked their cars outside the clubhouse, decorated their trunks and handed out candy. It was great fun. The party in the clubhouse was also a hit. Well, except that there was some sort of smell that Alex couldn't handle so we left right after we snagged a hot dog. Of course, he wouldn't eat it since it also smelled.

And the big prize.

We might be hiding some of this.

The boys had lot of fun this year. I am already excited to see what they will be next year.

Jonathan's First Hair Cut

Even though Jonathan is younger then Alex at his first real haircut we decided, or rather I decided, it was time to give it a go. Jonathan's just never got that thick curly look like Alex did. He has only had hair for about 9 months and it just looks really ratty. So here is our gorgeous boy before the haircut.

He is happy now.

Look Ma, a mohawk!

And the after pics...

Simply gorgeous. He did get a little squirmy which is why it is a little crooked. But he looks like a little boy now and I am very happy we did it.

Beginning of October

We have not actually done all that much in October. Mostly because everyone is busy with school, gymnastics, or playdates.

I put up a pullup bar for Adam and the boys proved they come from the monkey family.

We drove down to Connecticut to visit my friend Beth from high school. We stopped at a children's museum and had great fun. Here is Alex being a bee hiver.

They had a "Great Green Room". It was awesome. My favorite area by far.
