a few more...

Just a few more photos my neighbor sent to us from last night...

Grant with Jack "the bat", who knows what they're actually doing here?!

John with Jacob and Frank with Parker.  These two little ones are sure to have a lot more fun next year keeping up with their big brothers!

Toward the end of the night, Grant needed a quick lift but was adamant he wasn't through getting candy for the night, ha, ha!

robot & dinosaur

We had a grand time trick or treating this evening!  Our little robot and dinosaur couldn't have been happier...well, let's just say the robot was ecstatic nearly the entire night!

This costume was about the easiest thing to put together and props to my Mom for contributing the vent/duct piping.  The amount of comments and sheer fun Grant had in it makes me want to do it for each of the boys again next year.  Grant loved it and wore it most of the afternoon and evening.  Before going to bed tonight he told me to please hang it in the closet so he could wear it again, ha! 

The beginning of the night, heading to our neighbors for dinner followed by some candy hunting in the neighborhood!

Our little dinosaur!  The thighs on this costume were the best!  He left the hood/tail on for about 5 minutes before ripping it off!

Grant with his buddy Jack and Jack's cousins.  Grant was always the last one to the door, singing songs and telling anyone and everyone (or sometimes no one) that he was a robot...."I'm a robot!"  "I'm Mr. Robot Man! "  After every house he'd say, "Mom, I want to get more candy!"  Over and over and over again.

Parker's only house to trick-or-treat at before hanging out in the background with the adults.  Thanks Bear for the box of Nerds for Mommy :)

You know it's been a great night when you get home and start taking your costume off and there's even some candy stuck in the hood of your outfit, hahaha!

Here they are, Grant trying to fend off Parker from his loot!

Happy Halloween everyone!

pumpkin creations

Grant chose our largest pumpkin to carve this year, here he is with Frank discussing their options :)  I love Grant in this shot holding the carving kit instructions, they finally decided on a nice and traditional smiley face pumpkin!

Our creations....a little glitter for Mommy's project, it turned out quite pretty I thought, it makes me smile each time I see it!

Fall

Fall always holds the promise of football and leaves at our house!  Here the boys are ready for another Husky game!  We have been getting a lot of comments from friends and strangers alike that the boys look so much like one another.

Here are their best "cheese" grins!  Parker is now into squinting his eyes whenever he sees me grab the camera, little stinker!

A little rowing of the boat, ahemm, leaf raking last weekend.  Parker had to get in on the action though he hung out inside a lot with Mom so as not to get in the way of the big boys :)

teether

Our little teether.  Poor Bear has been suffering and miserable for a couple of weeks now working on getting some new teeth in.  The count remains at six but we are hopeful any day now he may reveal a few new white gems.  At his 15 month appointment, yesterday, the pediatrician confirmed he's getting his molars, slowly but surely.  Unfortunately, he's pretty crabby these days and most nights is waking up at least once crying and crying and crying.  We are praying this doesn't last much longer!!

toasted

Grant cracks us up with the many things he says these days. 

Since Parker has dropped his morning nap it is a race to get home from anywhere we may have been in the mornings without Parker falling asleep in his carseat.  I guess I've been saying, more often than I realize, that I'm going to be toast if Parker falls asleep before we get home because it messes up the rest of our day/night, his afternoon nap is off, yada, yada, yada. 

So, Grant has been saying to Parker (and also telling others), "Parker, don't fall asleep or Mom's going to get toasted."  Ahemmm, I don't think so but funny, none-the-less!

super g

I gave in.  Grant was suppose to get this as a Christmas gift but after I got it all sewn together I couldn't resist his consistent requests to be Super G!
