our visit with santa ...

he had no fear - started waving to Santa on the other side of the store - walked right up to him - crawled into his lap and told him he wanted a red bicycle, with a horn ... when Santa asked if he wanted anything else - he told him "no thank you" ( guess Santa needs to get that bike taken care of :} !! )

Blueberry Farm (i.e Dewberry Farm ... )

catch up time ...

HALLOWEEN....

we got to start off with Trunk N Treats at school - little man had no fear of the big slide

taking a break from jumping ...

realizing that all he had to do was say "trick or treat " and thank you -- and he kept getting candy !!

So on Halloween - we had not actually planned on going trick or treating - we were going to just hand out candy. But C figured out very quickly what was going on - and convinced dad to take him out...

enjoying some M&M ...

My Skeleton !

oh the fair ...

Mom was the 1st Runner Up for Fair Mom of the Year ( of course in our eyes she was the winner !! )

Little man getting Paw Paw to take him to ride a cow !

The crew ...

I think we have a cowboy at heart ...

meet marvin....

on a recent trip to Canton i picked up this moose ...brought him home, and well lets just say we have our 1st Christmas decoration out... Carter decided his name should be Marvin the Moose ... Marvin plays blocks with us, we read books to Marvin ( I'm told his favorite book is I Meet a Moose in Maine One Day ), and Marvin gets dragged from room to room so he does not miss out on any of the action ( Here is to hoping he makes it till Christmas! )

love this face ...

maxin and relaxin ...

I asked Little Man what he was doing ... he was "maxin and relaxin " while he listened to "C is for cookie and Carter " :}

quick game of peek a boo...

this just makes me laugh ....

Football Sunday .....

OK so NOW this blog is finally up to date - and I'm going to TRY to keep it that way ( we will see ). You might have put 2 and 2 together and realized that the blog got up to date on the 1st weekend of football - and you would be right on assuming that is the reason - there has been football on our TV since 7:30 am ( and yes I was shocked it was on that early - but go figure with cable! )

So here are some pics of C and M and Uncle Mike playing outside - they have decided to start brainwashing this one early....


his touchdown dance - it went " nana nana bo bo you cant catch me "

our mad face as we "attacked "

not really knowing what to do with the 2 adults wrestling on the ground...

racing Uncle Mike to the football...

excited he caught the football...

DOWN - SET - HUT - HUT !

2 men forgetting they are 30+ for a day ...

a fun day for football!
