Trick or treat, part 1

I love this annual tradition! It is so much fun to meet up with dear friends and their kids at the sorority house and take our kids trick-or-treating from door-to-door. Let's face it, the actual trick-or-treating lasts about 10 minutes tops--they're getting pretty fast at this! But then they always have cookies and candy apples to decorate and lots of the girls come down in costume and are so cute with the kids.

We got there and immediately met up with Monique and Nico. The beautiful ballerina and the sassy Strawberry Shortcake say hello...

Weston tolerated his cow costume...



Nice cow! love the patting!



The kids are ready to go!



One of the girls brought a cat dressed up as a clown downstairs. Am I remembering incorrectly that we weren't allowed to have pets? Anyway--generally kind of an odd sitch--but awesome when Nico started carrying her around!



Happy Halloween! The holiday weekend begins....

Gymnastic super heroines!

Mommy misunderstood instructions & brought R to class in character. Oops! Oh well. Fun times!

Snippy milestone

First haircut for our boy! Like the "stylist" said, it's a "little man cut"! He looks so grown up. Sigh.

As you can tell, help was needed....he loved the whole experience. Probably because there was a train table, a Lego table, lots of big boys to marvel at & a car to sit in during the cut!
























And the finished product....a freshly groomed little boy!




He looks so adorable but it's making me a little sad that he's starting to look more little boy than baby boy. Again: sigh.

Halloween jammies

Getting ready for the week's festivities!






Can you tell W's jams are R's hand me downs? Do they look too girly for my sturdy little guy?

Thank goodness for blogpress & my iPhone. I don't even know where the regular camera is these days....

Them woofing vultures

We've been invaded by vultures lately.





They're not very subtle in stalking their prey. Which is usually waffles, scrambled eggs or pasta.





Here's one of them, moving in.


At least we aren't overly worried.

Get up stand up

Guess who figured out that standing up in the crib is so much fun?
