Cute Brothers

Owen and Henry starting 2010 off right with some cute photos.

Sledding and a Snowy weekend in NY

I will post on Christmas soon, but I wanted to post these pics from our snowy weekend in New York.

Big Boy Birthday and Big Boy Bed

Owen turned five and I cannot believe it. We kept the birthday low key with a day of adventure with his friend Jenelle, a cake at school and of course, a visit to our favorite doctor Dr. Morgan for his annual check up. He got a clean bill of health.
A second, but less welcome milestone, Henry learned to climb out of our crib and continued to do so taking his life into his hands. This forced us to free him from the restraints of childhood and turn his crib into a big boy bed. He sleeps in it sometimes, but other times he wanders the house at 2 am looking for adventure. Door locks and baby gate here you come. Lordy, I was not ready for this one.

Halloween

All dressed and ready to go! Jack Skellington, Little Skelly and Skelly the dog.

Super strong Daddy pulling everyone up the big hill.


Henry was nervous during the neighborhood costume parade, so Owen held his hand. Sweet.

Halloween Preview

Henry rejected the cute yo gabba gabba costume I bought (and then sold on ebay). He rejected the cute dinosaur costume (I bought on ebay and is hanging in the closet). He wanted to look like his brother, so the 1.75 Goodwill skeleton costume wins the race.Yet another example of why you should not argue with a 2 year old.
Meet Jack Skellington from a Nightmare Before Christmas and his skeleton sidekick all decked out for Trunk or Treat at our church.

Rain won't get us down.

We had our annual quest to the pumpkin patch scheduled for this weekend, so we were very sad when we woke up to rain. We did not have another time to go, so we decided to put our doubts aside and head out to Washington farms despite the rain. According to Owen, "We are'nt going to let the rain spoil our fun!"
He was right. We had a GREAT time and we had the place to ourselves. We got our own private hayride, our own private ride on the cowtrain and even some extra shots on the pumpkin slingshot. Most off all we had the corn bin all to ourselves.

This would be a great pic but for the porta potties.


"I'm having such a good time I jumped out of the shot!"


More farm fun.
