the only halloween pics that i have

this year, i had to work on halloween-no fun and andy had football playoffs. andy's parents came out to take the boys trick or treating. the boys had fun and got a ton of candy that i am now rationing out in what i'm sure they consider an unfair way. so, i only got a few pics of the kids. don't worry, next year there is no way i'm working and i will be taking a ton of photos.

the boys with grandpa-so they're outfits were kind of like psuedo-jedi costumes that i just threw together b/c i figured they would be happy with whatever they got-they were

i said -andy how about you carve pumpkins with the boys while i'm @ work and you can take some pictures. i come home-no pics. why andy? he says-the boys really just kind of stood there, they didn't do a whole lot. i think i would have enjoyed at least one shot of them with the pumpkins...next year...

video highlights of the tea party

Here are some videos from Miss Spider's Tea Party. I thought I taped more, but I guess I didn't hit start on the camera :-)

Miss Spider's Tea Party

Our preschool had their annual insect themed party today. Last year, Marcus and Cale were grasshoppers. This year, I decided that Cale and Ewan would be bees. Super easy outfits-black clothes and yellow tape, and wings from the dollar store that we spray painted black (I've really stopped trying to outdo myself on these costumes). I think I spent a total of $10 on Cale's costume and 8$ on Ewan's (because I forgot to get him black pants). Here are picture highlights of today's festivities.

When Grammy came to visit

Here's the one photo I took last time Grammy Pammy came to visit. I forget to take pictures, or when I want to, the camera isn't ready/with me. I thought this was cute since the boys were all piling on top of her :-)

Here's another post for you Mom!

I received a complaint that I have not posted recently on the blog. Well, I've been a little busy with work and facebook is easier to mess with @ 3 am at work than posting on the blog. But, to make ammends, here are some pictures of the boys, recently taken.....



Cale with his new lightsaber


Ewan holding Larry the cucumber-one of his favorite toys




Marcus with his new lightsaber-we got these because Marcus was going to a Star Wars birthday party

Grammy Cici came to visit

My grandma and Aunt Claud came to visit a few Fridays ago. It was nice that the boys were not shy around them since I don't think they've seen grandma or Aunt Claud for at least a year. It was a nice visit and here are some photos...

Ewan's 2 year old check up (finally)

Ewan got to go to the doctor yesterday for his 2yr old check up. He got 2 shots (a surprise to me!) but did fine. His current height and weight are: 30.6 pounds (75th %) and 34.75 inches (80th%).
And, since we all like to compare, @ this approximate age, Marcus was 33.75 pounds and 36 3/8 inches tall and Cale was 34.4 pounds and 35.5 inches tall.
