Double Trouble

The boys have been both a treat and a challenge lately. Frankie was so cute tonight. We were in the car going to the Avalon lower school Halloween party and I asked him what he would say when someone asked what he was dressed up as - "treat" was his reply. I hope you guys enjoy

the photos of our double bit of trouble.

Peter is such an easy child to make laugh.

Frankie was giving his Halloween costume a test run. He likes it all, but the hat head. Unfortunately, that is how you can tell what he is.

This is my new favorite picture of the boys. Sooooo handsome!

This is Frank with the pumpkin stem. We carved the pumpkin earlier today after many a melt downs.

I told Matt that I must have a picture of the boys dressed up in costume before the night was over. We took the picture outside of the car, right before we buckled them in and drove home. The Halloween party was a lot of fun, albeit chilly. Thankfully it wore the guys out!

Fall Fun

So, Matt has had a couple of 3 day weekends this month and wee have tried to make the best of them. We took the boys to the National Mall and Frankie got to ride the carousel, which is always a blast. He also was able to see Bambi, in person, at the Museum of Natural History. Meanwhile, Peter just got this stinking push in the swing....again. What can we say Pete? Stinks to be second.

Frankie has been sick with some virus and has been running a fever all weekend, so nobody has had any sleep. Matt and I just realized tonight that all of the medicine we have been pumping into his system to keep the fever down has been keeping him awake. Poor kid.

Lastly, Peter is scooting all over the place. He'll be at a full fledged crawl in no time.


I'm a big kid now!
Note: if you look closely you can see Frank's feet swinging in the upper right corner.


Yeee haaaw!!!



Hey, this looks like the bear we saw out in the wild.

Look, Dad, I see Bambi.
