Trick or Treat!



Happy Halloween!  The boys were totally into Halloween this year and we talked about the holiday for weeks!  Once Taffe saw a Thomas the Train costume... he was sold.  No surprise there.  He would have liked us all to be engineers and trains, luckily Christopher was in on the theme.

 Both Taffe and Kingston were totally into the traick or treating aspect.

 Kingston really just liked selecting a candy which he would grasp intently, until he arrived at the next house, where he we drop the old candy and take a new one.  We didn't come home with much candy due to that method.

Candy!

 While we were out in the neighborhood, Grandma hung back and answered the door.   After a little sugar high and K's first taste of real candy, the boys were sound asleep!

Future JMU Dukes!

Three of my 5 college roomies al had babies within 7 weeks of one another. So excited for more JMU legacies were added to our ever growing group of children. Between the 6 of us we have 11 kiddos... wow!

Pumpkin Playground

The boys and I finally made it to a pumpkin festival after being rained out!  (Glad we did too, with this hurricane coming!!!)

Obvious hit:  Wooden train

 Colleen took both Taffe and McKenna up to the big slide, only to get to ride down altogether!

 Another classic photo... I promise the boys had fun here!

Town Parade

Our annual town parade does not disappoint! This year  it was perfect weather and both boys managed to stay out past 8! Not only were there celebrities like Santa and the National's Presidents, but several of our neighbors were in the parade too! 

Parade Prep: Multiple Halloween tatoos!

Never underestimate the value of glow-sticks

Happy Birthday to CT!

A very happy birthday to my wonderful husband and loving father to our children. Maybe it wasn't a relaxing or romantic birthday, but goodness those boys love their daddy... and the cupcakes!

Mom! Take a Picture of Me!

Taffe certainly learned how to cheese it up in photos after our trip! He randomly demands I take his picture, and will even dictate the pose. 

 

Rain Can't Stop Us!

Despite our squashed plans to hit the pumpkin patch, we enjoyed the warm October rain.  Taffe is now a very confident tricycle rider, and Kingston has taken over the big-wheel.  Every afternoon you can catch us riding around the neighborhood. :) My boys are getting so big!!!
