Pre-Halloween Catchup

10/15/12 through 10/31/12

Catching big air at Jocie's house:

Watering Grandma's geraniums while she was in Iowa and Minnesota. I think more water ended up on her floor than in the plants:

Aiden helping Daddy vacuum:

Eric sent me this picture of Reid sweeping the leaves:

Aiden's core strength still amazes us:

Sky diving!

Me pitching to Reid:

Reid sliding into 1st base:

And sprinting back:

Reading Richard Scary book with Daddy. Thanks, Marita! Your books have been a real hit!

Reid helping clean up after a hair cut:

 Saying goodbye to Daddy as he leaves for a trip:

Grandma came over so I could do something. Maybe run errands?

Giggle time:

The boys found the remote control in our bedroom, climbed up on bed, and managed to find Caillou (one of their favorite PBS shows):

Washing dishes while I try to get a little sewing done:

Helping me change out the kickstands from our old bikes to our new ones:

Aiden helping me sew:

While Reid entertains us:

Discovering that chairs are pretty awesome:

On this day, I was reading to the boys before naptime. Reid likes to roam around their room while Aiden likes to sit in my lap. I looked over my shoulder and saw that Reid had scaled the sides of their beds to try to reach the airplane mobile:

FaceTime with Daddy:

Drinking water out of real cups at Grandma's house. I found them by following the trail of water:

Reid loves his "mote control":

Rough couple of weeks for me and the boys when Eric has been gone. Reid let Aiden share his bed, when I refused to go recover Aiden for the 5 millionth time:

More jumping fun with friend Trey:

Grandma brought over "cuppycakes" to celebrate the boys turning 2 1/2 on the 23rd:

Wearing their old baby hats because I hadn't had a chance to buy new ones yet:

Math ladies dinner at Alma's:

Aiden getting rocked by Daddy after a bath:

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed...

Run fast, Mommy!

Reid providing drag resistance for Eric:

An Old Navy t-shirt that I spotted. Would have been perfect for my dad:

Off for a quick dinner while the boys were babysat by Dani:

Aiden reading the comics: 

 While Reid checked out the ads:

Reid helping me make apple cinnamon muffins. Here he's tell me where to dump the flour:

Stir, stir, stir:

Aiden helping me make crescent rolls:

Sewing supervisor:

Cheese!

 
Eric sent this one too. Aiden was a pumpkin delivery man:

Helping with laundry:

Playing with sewing pins while I worked on their Halloween costumes:

In the mean time, I think Reid was playing internet poker:

More resistance training for Daddy:

Packing my breakfast and lunch this morning:

Climbing high at Jocie's: 

Swinging (I couldn't decide, so I included all three pictures. Luckily it's my blog.)
