What's that, Mama? Oh, we're not up to anything.
Smile for Mama. Um, NO!
Ignore Mama and play with cars. Yes, please.
Putting the sloppy in sloppy joes.
This picture of Aiden really reminds me of some pictures of Eric when he was little. (Ignore the messy face.)
Reid is a pro at signing "more" and uses it frequently.
Another day, with more "More". Followed by a big smile. Reid's nose may look messy, but both he and Aiden fell down when we were playing outside. Reid's nose is all skinned up.
Aiden scraped up his forehead.
The boys like to supervise the front door from this gate. On this evening, Grandpa was leaving after supper. I had started to read to them, but they both popped up when they heard Grandpa on his way out the door.
Far left side of picture- flat tire. :( Discovered this shortly into our run on Saturday. I took it to REI and they were able to get it fixed right before closing. We replaced that tube and slimed all three of the tires. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but several friends suggested it, so it sounded good to me.
I'm two weeks away from my half-marathon. With the flat tire debacle, I didn't get a long run in this weekend, so hopefully I'll be able to do so next weekend. I'm a little nervous about the weather over the next couple of weeks, while another front is supposed to come tomorrow. We did have a good run today. I averaged 9:23 minutes per mile for 45 minutes. I was excited just to get a sub 10 minutes pace.
Yet another reason why I love my mini van. I can fit a double jogging stroller AND groceries in the back at the same time.
Getting the tire fixed at REI. Reid was hanging in there, but Aiden was definitely ready to go home and get to bed.
Our favorite place to go- OUTSIDE!
We hung out in the side yard, until the boys heard some other kids playing out front. I reluctanly decided to take the boys out front to join them. I'm sure the moms hanging out in their lawn chairs enjoyed watching me scrabble back and forth trying to keep Aiden and Reid out of harm's way. This was when both of them ended up falling at the same time and scraping their faces.
The other kids were really cute to let my boys join in.
R & A Moving. At your service. They thought the high chairs needed to be relocated.
The district's computer network was recently upgraded, which meant I spent today reinstalling all of my software. Luckily, it looks like I have the Navigator system up and running again. Two steps forward, one step back.
Not the clearest picture, but they're both smiling at the same time. :) :)
Trying on the outfits.
Aiden was not liking the ears.
Reid tested it out and decided it must be ok if he could still run fast.
Grandma distracted Aiden by feeding him Cheerios before we were finally ready to go.
Aiden was ok with holding the Jack O' Lantern, but Reid wanted nothing to do with it. In the beginning.
First stop, Grandpa and Grandma's house. Grandpa was waiting for us on the front porch. I'm glad the weather cooperated.
Grandpa and the monkeys.
OK, enough posing.
Aiden tested out the Jack O' Lantern first.
Reid quickly joined the fun.
Reid decided to cut out the middle man and go straight to the source.
Aiden wasn't interested in the candy and spent time exploring the front porch.
Reid still happy. Can I have more, Grandpa? Please!
Then Reid started carrying around his Jack O' Lantern.
Guess what's better than one Jack O' Lantern? Two Jack O' Lanterns!
More monkeying around with Grandpa and Grandma.
Eventually Aiden decided to check out their neighbor's house.
Hey, she has candy too!
Reid, get over here and check this out!
We went to one more house- the neighbors on the other side of my parents. In total, we made it to three houses and came home with eight pieces of candy. Not too shabby! The boys especially seemed to enjoy watching the older kids running around in their costumes.
We hope all of you had a Happy Halloween too!
