Hands in his pockets, he wanted nothing to do with the pumpkin guts.  What a sissy!

CIMG3365
Finally convinced him to dig in with a spoon, it lasted long enough to take a picture.
Then I retrieved his pumpkin guts.

CIMG3366
The girls rocked it and loved it!

Raya drew her face, I cut it out.  She loved her happy little pumpkin.

Eyla especially loved it and drew on her face and cut it out herself.  She is so creative that girl.

Ruby’s sideways pumpkin in was too skinny to dig in the tall way so we just laid it down.

The final product.  Thanks Alan and Linda for the pumpkins.  Love you guys.

Nobody wanted a scary pumpkin, but Eyla wanted a sad one, note her face in the picture below.
She wanted to match her pumpkin.  Funny girl.

Yes, even Ruby got some.  I tell you what, trying to stop great grandparents from giving kids and babies sugar is impossible.
But I secretly love how they spoil my kids.


Trunk or Treat
CIMG3402_edited-1
The only event we managed to get totally decked out for was the trunk or treat.
We did fancy hair, lipstick and sparkles.  Well, just the girls.
We put on their costumes for the other Halloween events but I did not manage to get them all dolled up again.
Glad we got pictures the night of the Trunk or Treat!

The best sister in law ever and coolest new mom.
Us with our little crews….. Hers is still pretty little and sweet and quiet….kinda :):)
My crew is a little bigger and a lot louder and way more out of control.

And they are……
ALL MINE!

I know it doesn’t look like much, but there is nothing more beautiful to me.  Us 6 = pure happiness.

There is only one super hero dressed up in this picture, but they are both my heros.

Just in case you don’t know who ducky momo is.
You know we are huge phineas and ferb fans.

Trick or Treat!

Came upon this batman pumpkin at a house… had to get a picture.

CIMG3444
Came back from trick or treating and found this angel snoozing on grandma.

Examining all the loot.

He immediately found a sucker in his pile and ate it.  He is OBSESSED with suckers.  In the below picture you can see
the next morning when they counted their candy again he separated out all his suckers.  He had nine.
Now he has none.   For a while everytime I pulled down their buckets he dug through his looking for a sucker
until Eyla (who is so sweet) noticed he couldn't find one in his and would give him one of her suckers.  But now she and
Raya are both out of suckers.   Never mind the full size snicker bar, skittles, milk duds, m&m’s, and licorice that
I keep shoving at him from his bucket, to no avail.  If it isn’t a sucker it is no good.  Hmmmm, too bad I guess
I’ll have to polish off his bucket of candy.

Oh rubs

You are getting too big too fast.  6 months last week. 

At your checkup you were in the 50% in height and weight, and 70% for head circumference.

CIMG3177

I love how you sleep.

 

CIMG3172

You watch Little Einstein's with Rockwell.

 

CIMG3290_edited-1_thumb1

And you are a drool bug.

Look at your onesie. Everyday, all the time, it is like this.  I usually keep a bib on you but you go through them so fast I sometimes run out.  But its ok, look at how cute you are, with that little grin, I could (and do) kiss that face all day long, drool and all.

Best Friend Bumblebee

CIMG3311
He sleeps with his bumblebee transformer all tucked in and everything.  For about five minutes we can hear bumblebee saying “bumblebee reporting for duty sir,” and his gun shooting. Then I go to check on him and everybody is sound asleep.  Love.


haircuts

If there is one chore I’m not too fond of besides bath time it is cutting hair.  Don’t even get me started on how I hate cutting Rockwell and Perry’s.  But because I have to cut the boys hair every month it isn’t much of an event.  The girls once a year trim deserves a post. 

I put cutting it off way too long and Eyla needed it bad.

silly things

CIMG3317
This is my kids trying to make silly faces for the camera.  Look at Eylas hands and how hard she is flexing them and working for the face. 

CIMG3314_edited-1
Rockwells newest face.  He does that when he is mad or trying to be funny.  To get the full effect you have to imagine the sound of him breathing really hard in and out of his nose really fast while he makes those lips. 
And I love it because it reminds me of Eyla.

After painting up a dresser the kids helped me put the hardware back on and then the girls helped carry it upstairs singing “whats gonna work? team work!” all the way.
