1. Halloween
I made Thomas costumes for the boys out of diaper boxes a few weeks ago. They were not such a hit with the boys. I take that back. The boys loved the costumes, just not wearing them. In these photos I was bribing them with M&Ms. It worked for about three minutes and that was it. They enjoyed the rest of the evening running around and playing in my parent's yard. They were also exhausted VERY tired and were in bed by 7:10!!
2. Carving pumpkins
A day late. Yesterday (that would be a day after Halloween) we actually had a beautiful day outside so we decided to carve pumpkins. Mat was here for the afternoon so he taught the boys how to get the "goup" from the inside. Then we brought the pumpkins into a the bathroom to show them how a jack-o-lantern worked. As you can see from the photo...Owen didn't like that part as much. Once we were in the bathroom they wanted to finger paint. I feel like I am in my own story, If you give a mouse a cookie....
The boys (especially Cameron) can eat two full slices of the french toast sticks. These are $2 a box on sale which would make them $.25 a slice. I decided to make my own this past weekend. I even added squash to the mixture! So far they have been eating them but I will admit they are nowhere near as delicious as the store bought brand. ***Random but....the boys ate a total of 5 hot dogs for lunch***
4. Brushing Teeth
As the boys get older they are being better about letting me brush their teeth lately. Don't get me wrong...we still have nights were someone needs to be held down and screaming while I do a quick brush but for the most part they are peaceful. Little win for mom!
5. Eloise Bethany Harris
My sister had a baby girl an hour ago. She is 6lbs 10oz. I can't wait to go out to Denver and meet her. What a beautiful family!
Here is a picture from part of my newly decorated wall. Yes...there is more than just what is shown.
