Halloween!

Well it was finally Halloween. We have been making Caley and Nathan's costumes for a while now and I was quite pleased with the results. Caley was a little skeptical of my vision but she quickly changed her mind when she saw everyone's reactions. It was a great night we took the little boys out with all the kids up our street and they had a great time trick or treating, they are now addicted to candy. Then we left the little ones at home and I , caley and nathan went out to get more candy. They gave up pretty quickly to my surprise, mostly because Caley had to go to the bathroom. We did find a few design flaws in our costumes that will have to be addressed when we design next years costumes but overall we were quite sucessfull. Hope you aren't too scared by our costumes. Beware of the trick or treaters skulking in the streets. I would have had more pictures but my camera was giving me a hard time.

It's Pumpkin Time!

We finally bought our pumpkins and carved them last night. We all had a fun and messy time. We had some pumpkin heads and whenever you ask Aidan to show you something he puts it right in front of his face. Please enjoy my expertly carved pumpkins, I may have had some help.

The big visit!

We had a great family visit this week. Nancy, Steve, Sue, Adam, Rowan, Mary, Mom and Dad were all in Charlotte. We visited the mall and had dinners together. We of course had to make a trip to the Steak N' Shake and if you notice the boys worked off our lunch. Nancy also brought us a very entertaining gift, fake mustaches! They were hillarious! It was great to see everyone and we all had a great time! I hope you all come back again soon. Atleast I got to kiss those chubby cheeks of Rowan's for a couple of days. It'll have to last me. Miss you all! Oh yeah Sue and Steve, if you ever wondered what you look like walking through a mall from behind, Brady took a video of you. I could send it if you want to have a look, Haha!

Family fun Day

Last Saturday we went to the annual Indian Trail family fun day. The boys wore their monkey backpack/leashes. They went over pretty well and it helped me relax a little. Here are some pictures.

The 2 year olds perspective

Hello Family,

Well as you can imagine trips to the store can get a little nerve racking. Everyone seems to want something and sit everywhere and have fits. I have found that letting them hold my camera has been a very good occupier of time. They seem to treat it well and share nicely. I didn't realize until today that they were actually taking pictures with it. So now I will share with you what they have captured. As you may be able to tell Caley was willing to help out from time to time. Enjoy!

We made a chocolate cake!

Caley and I decided to make a chocolate cake from scratch. It was an enormous three layer chocolate cake. It is dangerously good. Here are a couple pictures of it before it started to fall apart.

The Beach

While we were waiting for Karen to get to Wilmington the kids and I made a trip to the beach. We had lots of fun and I took a few pictures. I also buried the boys in the sand but they wouldn't stay long enough for me to take their picture.
