Halloween!

This year, I had no clever theme. I did, however, make Charlotte's costume. Garrett's was a steal at TJ Maxx: a strawberry and a shark.

Garrett, who tends to be the shy one, loved the slide! The first time he went down, I was so afraid he would come up crying when he landed face down. But, instead he rolled over and shouted, "Let's do that again!"

Nana and Charlotte with what Charlotte dubbed her "purse." No amount of persuation would convince her to call it a bucket!

Charlotte went to every room of the Fall Festival and went straight for the candy buckets!

Here's a new one

What is this facination babies have with toilets?

Numerous times this weekend, Charlotte has been found playing in the toilet.

This morning, she dunked her baby in the toilet while proclaiming, "Poop! Poop!"

This afternoon, I found her with both feet stuck at the bottom of the toilet drain! Yes, standing in the toilet, with water up to her armpits. I was terrified! She was too. She is fine though, but I didn't have time to find the camera...although for a split second I did think of looking for it!

Conversation with Garrett

Garrett was in some trouble today, which included a spakin' in the bathroom at the local area Target store.

After dinner at Pancho's, we got into the van and this is how it went:

G: In the restaurant, God told me not to get a spanking.

Me: He did? That's good advice.

G: Did you know that God is in this car right now?

Me: Yes, God is everywhere and God lives in my heart, too!

G: I think He is at home right now crunching on some chips!

Wambaugh Photo Shoot!

Recently I posted about doing some photos for anyone willing to let me experiment with their kids. I only had 1 taker: the Wambaugh family!

Yesterday, we met at the park and let the kids play while I took some photos. Here are a few of my favorites! Thanks ya'll for letting me experiment!

I couldn't decide which of these I liked better!

Now don't the rest of you wish you'd taken me up on that offer? Think of the Christmas card possibilities!

Did you ever have 1 of those days?

Don't know if you can tell, but that is cheese paper/wrapper stuck on Garrett's rear!

No idea how that happened!

That's as bad as TP stuck to your shoe!

The Punkin' Patch

I'd love to tell you that Garrett is the only one who calls it that, but I call it a "Punkin' Patch" too!
Anyway, that's where we headed on Saturday after the soccer game. Gentry's Farm has become a tradition for our family. This year, Nana and Poppy came too! We didn't actually buy pumpkins there (Aldi has them this week for $2.50...and that's just cheap, folks!)

This picture was actually taken at the end of the day...those are some tired kiddos!

They are going through the corn maze together! How precious is that!

Charlotte never stopped smiling on the tire swing!

Garrett and Poppy found a worm!

"Hmmm, this looks like a good one!"

This is Garrett's "cheese" face! It cracks me up everytime!

We had so much fun at the Punkin' Patch!

The new face of mischief

Its really hard to get on to anyone wearing a tu-tu....no matter the crime!
