Fun Times

At work a couple weeks ago, Alex was awake at lunch so we hung out with the baby in the phone.

Happy Halloween

Yes I totally made these!

 Ok so I bought the cupcakes but I totally decorated them!

Firefighter (fighter fighter) on his way into daycare.

The cool tank that really finishes off the costume.

Ready to go trick or treating with bucket and fire fighter rubber boots to add final touches.

 Alex the bat.

 There is a really cute hat with purple pointy ears somewhere but Matthew was playing with it and I have NO IDEA where it is.

 Trick or Treating. Matthew had a great time checking out the decorations and picking out candy at each house.  He kept saying "10 more houses" so eventually I had to start the count down.  

But it all worked out perfectly and as we got to 10 on the count down Matthew had to pee so we headed home to uncostume and have ONE piece of candy.

Milestones

Nirvana: toes in one hand, other hand in the mouth.

Official Tester

I bought a standy uppy thing (for you fancy folks out there its an activity center) for Alex.  

Matthew had to get in to check it all out before his brother could get in it.

Pumpkin Carving 2012

This year we "got" to carve four pumpkins.

 Checking out the lay of the land before the guts come out. 

Daddy demonstrates proper procedures.

 Then Matthew has a go.

 Putting the guts in the bag.

Pumpkin Picking 2012

This year we were blessed with a lovely sunny day for pumpkin picking.

We met up with the Monahans to share the joy. Unfortunately everyone else and their dog decided to do the same thing on this particular sunday(especially since the Seahawks weren't playing).

 Richelle found her pumpkin right away.

 Our very own little Captain Morgan.

Juicing

A couple weeks ago, I was making some carrot orange juice and I was lucky enough to have a helper.

 Gathering the peeled oranges from the living room.

 Putting oranges into the juicer.

 Getting ready to test it.

Mmmm tastes like apples.  In the end though it turned out that he didn't like the juice.
