Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Thomas the fruit bat

Benjamin is Peter Pan. He really thinks he is Peter Pan, and requests that we call him that. He even refers to me as Tinkerbell, and Sean as Capt Hook! He asked me over and over for a Peter Pan costume...finally found one on Halloween day 2 hours before trick-or-treating. Whew!

Our little Andrew monkey.

Zoo Boo

On what became an 85 degree day, we took the kids to Zoo Boo, with Sean's bro- Ryan. Seriously, when we left home it was cool outside, and 30 minutes later is was sunny and 25 degrees warmer. Indiana weather is crazy in the fall. Despite the heat, the boys enjoyed wearing their costumes (minus Andrew who could not tolerate the heat) and visiting the animals. Thomas chose to be a fruit bat again this year, and had his picture taken in front of the bat exibit.

Andrew tunrs ONE!!!

Cannot believe that our baby is one! Time really does fly.

We love you so much Andrew.

Stuffing red velvet cake into mouth. YUM!

Our cake turned out pretty goo, if I must say so myself.

Thanks everyone for a fun party!

Bathtime for the bday boy, and then off to bed!

Leaves, leaves and more leaves!

Out for a walk around the neighborhood to collect leaves and twigs.

This fall, the boys have LOVED playing in the leaves. We get a ton of leaves, and usually it has been such a pain cleaning the yard up, but this year we had help! Two eager little rakers made the job faster, and much more fun. That, and we really didn't worry about getting all the leaves up this year. We just enjoyed it.

Weekend with the May Clan

The girls. Grandma with Gloria and Anna.

Best buddies- Andrew with big cuz, Gloria.

Tractor rides Grandpa.

Lemonade and a new bike

Andrew ready to roll.

The boys watched an episode of Curious George making a lemonade stand, so of course, we had to do it too! George is VIP around here. They had 10 customers, made $1, and split the profits. I think they should charge more next time!

Benjamin ready to try out his new bike. Thanks Uncle Tim and Aunt Steph!

Labor Day trip to Chicago

We headed to the Windy City over Labor Day to visit Joel and Annie and their boys. Sean and Joel took the 3 big boys to a CUBS game, while Annie and I styed home with the babies. It was hilarious watching the 2 little ones interact and play. They would follow each other all around the house, and baby talk back and forth. And the boys had a blast at the baseball game

too!
