Halloween Fun

Every year we go to my brother's house for a fun Halloween party & trick or treating. Where they live they do trick or treating on the night before Halloween. So this means we get 2 days of trick or treating. We all had a blast, here are some photos, Jeff & I were pirates, Dominic a tiger, Collin a monkey & Aidan the Firefighter.
We got in late so I threw the candy buckets on top of the fridge knowing I'd have to move them first thing in the morning since they can get up there. They ended up waking up before me and they had their buckets dumped all over the floor with chocolate covered hands and faces at 9 in the morning. The candy is all locked up now, but my boys are wired!

Dominic's fully mobile now

Dominic woke up today and started crawling. He does the half scoot half crawl where he'll get on all fours and rock back and forth then tries to take off until he falls. Then continues by half scooting half crawling until he can get to what ever toy he wants. It's so cute, I figured he'd be crawling soon but of coarse we will really have to watch the floor for anything little, he's been rolling and pivoting everywhere but now he can get to anything anywhere and fast.

Yum

Don't you just love it when you are laying on the floor holding your baby above your head talking to him and suddenly you feel this cold, wet, slimy blob of slobber drop right into your mouth? Really, I almost threw up.

Daddy's Garden

Jeff put in a new garden on the corner of our front yard yesterday. The boys of coarse always want to help Daddy do anything. I stepped outside to see what they were up to and I had to get a picture.


The new garden will probably be short lived with this wrecking crew though. Here's our front porch garden/construction site, Jeff put the fountain down because he was afraid they'd knock it over. Our porch is always full of dirt, diggers and dump trucks. Boys!

I'm in trouble now

Collin learned this morning how to use scissors, he taught him self by watching Aidan. There was no way I was going to teach him any time soon. Scissors + Collin = major trouble. I keep them up but somehow Aidan always finds a pair of his kid scissors somewhere and cuts Collins hair on occasion. I guess it's time Aidan has his share of uneven hair cuts from Collin.

We love the Fall

We had a blast at the Pumpkin Patch this weekend with G-ma Gail, Aunt Tish, Uncle Ken, Aunt Michelle and cousins. Thanks again for all the help, so hard for me to do things like this with the boys with Jeff working on the weekends.

And for today

Well, not such a good day! Jeff & I were both busy today trying to get stuff done, I was on the phone and he was trying to paint the bathroom. Aidan knows much better but found a marker and drew all over the tv, the walls all have streaks, the table, the floor, he didn't miss a spot. He also found his kid scissors that were not put away from earlier and cut apart the netting on my bed rail for Dominic. I was pretty furious. I have a phone problem, when ever I'm on the phone I have a hard time paying attention to what the kiddos are doing, I try to follow them around but didn't today and well they know that I don't pay as much attention so I guess they decided to have some fun.
