He Did!


Evan's new trick...

Unfortunately our "editing bay" is down right now, so you get the full 40 second "director's cut" here instead of just the first 10 seconds of primo footage!

MacDonald's Ranch

This morning we took the boys to MacDonald Ranch for some petting zoo/hayride fun.
Evan & Jett held hands on the way in.Hay. Cool.
Anytime Evan saw something he liked (a dog, a pumpkin, the dirt, this pig) he sat down in order to focus his attention on it fully.

Yee haw!

We tried to get the boys to sit still for a group shot in the tractor car...
...guess who the problem was?
Getting on the hay ride.
Arriving at the pumpkin patch.

Evan picked out about 12 different pumpkins he wanted to take home.
This was his favorite. Hug.

The Park

Yesterday we went to the park to help entertain Morgan during her Christmas pictures. As you can see, we are still in Halloween mode.Dumbo the Swinging Fireman.
Wheeeee, grass!
Post picture swinging.

Big Boy Shoes

The guys came over today and they were all wearing their Big Boy Shoes.
It seems like yesterday that these guys weren't even walking and now they are wearing shoes that (to us) look like they would fit Shaquille O'Neal!

Kindermusik Halloween Party

Just when you think Brenlie can't possibly get ANY cooler....Evan in his warm up costume.
Aiden and Evan don't participate in group shots in the traditional way.

Snack time!
Painting pumpkins. Evan and Aiden were more interested in the water bottles for the most part.
Evan contemplates giving the Pumpkin Person a hug goodbye....he decided against it.

Halloween Warm Up

Relaxing with Elmo and Ernie.
Buds
Dancing with Daddy.
Mom needs one of these zookeeper t-shirts ;)
Evan is now climbing onto the bar stools. He is really quick, too. One second he is playing on the floor and the next time I turn around, I see this head peering at me over the top of the bar. It changes what we can leave on the counter now!!!
Practicing for the laundry.
Pumpkin carving prep.
Mini pumpkin.

Relaxing with the mini pumpkins, which are also good Sesame Street watching companions.
Mama owie. Evan is helping to "ice" my foot after I smashed the corner of the cabinet into it.
Getting down to business!
Handsome guys.
Hellooooooooo?
Evan was flinging pumpkin guts all over the place. Good thing it was bath night!

The masterpiece.

Fall Festival

Touchdown!
Today we went to the Fall Festival and met up with the Bergmanns.
On the way in, Evan got to see (and pet!) a REAL LIVE SHEEP! Baaaaaa!
And we got to see a REAL LIVE FIREMAN! This guy will be Evan's inspiration for Halloween.
We stopped off at the Kindermusik tent to say hello to Miss Brenlie. She turned on the bubbles for Evan and Aiden.
Evan and Mama danced to "Mama Paquita".
Miss Brenlie gets up close with Evan. At first it was like seeing your teacher at the mall, the boys didn't know what to do with Brenlie outside of class!Evan and Daddy on the jungle gym...do they even call them that anymore?


After the festival, we went to the Herb Box with the Bergmanns and Evan entertained us all....weird.
When we got home, Evan's Halloween package from Grandma & Grandpa P was here. Hooray for Sesame Street characters!
Hugging Grover.
Daddy got in on the fun, too.
