Under Construction

If you plan to come visit any time soon, you might want to call ahead to make sure there's a parking spot available... Here's what we've got going on in front of our house.

Super cool if you're almost three years old and obsessed with construction trucks and construction workers! Not so super cool if you're the parent of an almost-three-year-old and a three-week-old. Our mini van is pretty rad, but it doesn't have the off-roading capabilities that are required to get in and out of our driveway right now. Bummer!

Happy Halloweenie!

The Halloween festivities have finally come to an end in Otown. We started celebrating Friday afternoon with a party at Kids Korner. Every last kiddo in Miles' class was excited to run around in costumes and eat special treats. It was the perfect afternoon for these 2 and 3 year olds!

Mmmmm...cookie....

On Saturday we went to a friend's halloween party. With two firemen at the party, I knew we were safe.

Tonight, we cruised around the neighborhood and visited some of our favorite friends. Before we ventured out, we had to capture the start to Weston's first Halloween.

These two boys were ready to hit the road!

Here is Miles with Abi and Dani, his neighborgals. The three kids have had their pictures taken together every year since Miles' first halloween. They were excited to keep the tradition alive!

And another neighborgal, Ava.

Miles had a great time visiting friends and seeing all of the fun costumes. He wasn't the only one...Tanner went to a halloween party on Saturday night and sported the "Federated Underwriter" costume...what a nerd.

pumpkin time!

To help us get in the spirit of Halloween, the boys carved a pumpkin. Miles' main job was sorting through the muck and pulling out the seeds. He salvaged lots of seeds for us to roast!

(As you can tell, Weston's main job was to supervise.)

Tanner had the most dangerous job - drawing a face on the pumpkin. And then cutting it out, of course.

Here's a blurry shot of the final product....two happy boys and a very handsome pumpkin!
