This never gets old to them…
Pretty rainbow over the house across the street…
Isn’t he cool?…
Scary slippers…
At an Oktoberfest party eating brats and drinking beer!…
Their first experience at Bojangles with Grandaddy :)…
Playing on the fire truck slide at a nearby farm…
The boys have had their costumes picked out for months and definitely tried them on a few times prior to Halloween night. Sean is really into the Lego Ninja cartoons so he wanted to be a black ninja with a sword. Dylan is thrilled to be Superman (again)! John took them trick-or-treating while Polly (the bat) and I stayed home to hand out candy and scare the kids on the porch.
The boys had school spirit week where they dressed up as cowboys and in their Halloween shirts. What fun!
Pop Pop and GG came down for a weekend visit to catch one of Sean’s t-ball games. We also went to cute far a little south of us that had pumpkins, a corn maze, tractor ride and petting zoo.
Mike, Gale and Katie hosted Michelle and Paul’s wedding shower at their home and it was so much fun! There were so many family members and friends that came to show their love and support for the two of them – it was such a nice day.
Bridesmaids!…
A toast to the happy couple…
Grilling Paul so we can play a fun game of “How Well Do You Know Me” with Michelle…
Mike’s pumpkin carving contest for the guys – who can carve a pumpkin that most closely resembles Paul?…
Present time!…
The infamous ritual that now takes place at all family wedding showers – each time is crazier than the last…
We’re so happy to see you both so happy! Love to you both!!
Both boys did really well getting their teeth cleaned and meeting with the dentist. I think it helps that her name is Dr. Bird, she drives a fun yellow jeep with a big bird and toothbrush on it, and she lives just down the road from us. I couldn’t think of a better way to introduce the boys to the dentist!!
I had to make one more trip up to MD for crabs before the season was over. So the boys and I headed up for a quick long weekend visit.
They’ve turned into really great travelers (people always comment on how well they behave!)…
We took the boat over to the eastern shore for lunch and some playtime on the beach…
We went to the Science Center in Baltimore again to see the dinosaurs. It never gets old…
We had lunch in Little Italy at a restaurant I’ve loved since I was their age…
The next day we hung out in Annapolis (you can tell the boys were over pictures by this point)…
Oh – and those crabs I was craving – he’s what’s left of the damage… it was definitely worth the trip :)
