Happy Halloween!!!

Woohoo! Another posting and it's not even been a week...ha ha! The boys have had a blast today! They really love Halloween. This is the FIRST year that Austin actually helped carve a pumpkin. he usually gags at the smell and can't even stay in the kitchen, but this year he carved his own. His art work is the bat pumpkin. Logan actually (mostly) carved his too. I drew it out for him, and he cut out the black parts. He wanted to do a silly face. The spider one was done by yours truly. I was proud of my boys and their handy work! Glad to finally have some help with them!

Here they are, all aglow (sp?)!

Here are my little Clone Troopers in front of the spooky police helicopter.

Trick or Treating was different this year. Since Roger was home with his hurt foot, it was just me and the boys. We just walked up and down our street, and the boys' pumpkins were full and heavy just from that. (We have sweet neighbors) As we walked and trick or treated I kept thinking of Jerry Seinfeld's Halloween book and giggling in my head because the boys kept fussing about how sweaty their masks were (and their hair was wet from sweat...yuck!), and how hard it was to see out of them because they were getting all foggy, and how it was hard to breathe with it on and see where they were walking. Once we got home and they dumped all their candy out on the table, they forgot all about the costume discomfort! Wonder what time I'll get them to bed with their sugar highs? Ha ha!!!

Finally....a Post!!!

I can't believe it's been almost two months since my last post! Our computer messed up...again...and well, we've been busy! School, football, soccer, bronchitis (Logan), the flu (me), and Roger's almost broken ankle have all consummed A LOT of time! Though we've been busy, the boys have been having a blast! Austin's last football game for this season is Thursday. He's actually done pretty well this year, and he really seems to enjoy it! He loved hearing his name called out on the loud speaker last week! Logan is loving soccer too! He'll tell us before every game, " You know, #5 always scores a goal!" He scored at least 6 today! Yeah!!! We are anxiously getting ready for Halloween. The boys finally agreed on a big pumpkin today, and then they both got their own small one. Logan let me take a picture of him with his, and I will take more this week and post them next week. I'll also post some pictures of the boys in their costumes. Here are a few pictures from the past two months.... :)

I'll try hard to post again next Sunday after Halloween with more pictures! It really shouldn't be two months between my posts! :)
