The beautiful leaves just seconds from our house.
This is up the road a little ways by Rock State Park.
While Kevin carved a carefully drawn wonderfully classic pumpkin before I took the boys out trick-or-treating around our neighborhood, the boys carved out an original creative design with markers on theirs. Unfortunately we have no pictures documenting the finished projects. So these masterpieces will ever go down in history as the unfinished works seen here:
These pictures are from back in October 2007 still, because I’d separated out some photos to be posted and just never got around to doing it and, well, I think they are cute and I already separated them out so I’m going to post them anyway! Even if they are very late.
Here is Pac napping for one of the last times in the crib. He was just getting way to big for it, but in this picture he still looks like a baby. How does it go: As long as I’m living my baby you’ll be?
Here is a picture of Alma telling me how much he loves his Daddy and Mommy.
“I’m an Alley Cat!” <–Name that movie.
Complete with bandaged tail, this homemade creation that my mom made for my older brother to wear when I was just a baby, (Sorry Mom, I somehow lost the black mittens.) was Patrick’s first of many choices of costumes. Patrick loved to pretend to be each thing we asked him if he was interested in dressing up as, but since we had this costume and it fit him just right we decided to stick with his first choice. Patrick was a brave little cat roaring at the scary houses when we trick-or-treated to them. Patrick Loved being an alley cat and carrying around his tail when he wasn’t eating candy. Meow.
(Side note: The bandaged tail was to fix the original hole put in the tail by my big brother Nathaniel, and added to by my little sister Camilla from dragging it on the sidewalks trick-or-treating)
A little robot dance from Alma before we head out. I made his pants myself, and Kevin helped Alma make the box/body. They wrapped a box from Baby Wipes in real shiny tape for ducts (fancy duct tape) and then took turns drawing on it with permanent marker. (side note: Alma was a robot last year too and loved it so much that he would only consider being anything else if he could be it while still being a robot. Cowboy Robot anyone?)
“Beep! Beep! Trick-or-Treat!” and “Meow! Nandy?”
Hee hee hee! I see candy!
This is at the Trunk-or-Treat at the church.
Halloween Mommy!
Baltimore Museum of Art with friends: Katri (Mom), Sami, and Amber Lein, also Campbell Anderson. The inside was great. The mini replicas of Victorian homes was the favorite, next to the outdoor “art garden”. The latter was the very best because we could all run and touch everything. Oct. 2007
Look up the book, it’s the best. And so are these guys.
What?! You think caffeine is the only way to wake up your day? I beg to differ.
Cute, cute, cute. This one’s for you Auntie ‘Milla!
Just hold still for a Minute! No, NEXT to your Brother! Come on, back the way you were. Ugh. Ok, just smile. No, back by your brother! Hold still!
Well, here’s to our quick and sneaky, silly boys!
