Even MORE pics!

I think I've found my new passion! PHOTOGRAPHY! Actually I should say 'photo editing'. I have been having so much fun taking the boys outside and taking their pictures. I'll come inside and can't wait to see what kind of neat things I can do with the editing software.

There will be more to come. I'm going to TRY to get a good picutre of both the boys this weekend. So far I can't get them both to look at the camera at the same time or one is getting mad, blah blah blah! I'm going to enlist Chris as my assistant this time so maybe that will help.

Pics I took of the boys.....

The weather here has been absolutely BEAUTIFUL for the past week. Last week our friend's the Woodrich's proposed a park play date and are we glad we made it. It was a fantastic day for the boys to play outside. Today is supposed to be the last day of our lovely weather so hopefully we can get outside to enjoy it before fall turns to winter before our eyes!

I'll share a cute story that followed that morning park play date.....

Michael was going with his mom after we were done at the park to have lunch with his dad at work. Devin heard Michael say just as we were all loading up in the car that he was going to see his 'Dad' at work. Devin got so excited (since he doesn't yet understand that when someone talks about their Dad it doesn't mean HIS dad). He started saying "Devin's going to see Daddy's work. Going to see the airplanes. Going to ride the elevator!" When I told him that Michael was going to see his dad but we were going home he got SO upset and started crying! I finally got on the phone and called Chris to see if we could stop by for lunch. I looked like a total slob going up to see him in a hoodie and sweats- but Devin was SO excited to see his dad at work. It was totally worth it!

Halloween!

Devin and Michael waiting for them to answer. This house actually had the porch light on, but no once ever answered the door. :(

Daddy coaching Batman.

At Grandma Carol's house. (Devin was more concerned about playing with Pappy then getting any candy...crazy little boy!)

Robin and Papa Ted.

This year was SO much fun with the boys. Well....Devin was the only one who know what the heck was going on I guess.....and he had a blast! He was excited to dress up as Batman and go Trick-or-Treating. This year we hit the usual family spots- Papa Ted's, Nana Carol's, Papa and Nana Jones's. Then we met our friends the Woodrich's in Independence and walked around their neighborhood. The boys did a very good job once they figured it out.

Unfortunately by the time I remembered to get a picture of both the boys together they had both had enough of their costumes so a picture attempt would have just been a disaster! Oh well...maybe next year!

Neewollah...Finally!

Our friends Jeannie and Michael.

All of us walking in the parade.

Uh OH! Robin wasn't too happy about wearing a mask!

Batman and Robin. I was SO entirely unprepared once AGAIN this year. I didn't even think about getting Devin black shoes or socks for his Batman costume! (Or Gavin for that matter.) And since I had to pick up his costume from the FedEx site in Independence the MORNING of the parade it didn't leave me much time to be prepared. We looked a little better on Halloween though.
