Plan B

Happy Halloween! I had grand plans for this year's costumes. Until about Wednesday, when Gavin suddenly decided he wanted to be a Jack-O-Lantern. One that looks like this:

So off I went to look for a pumpkin costume for him. All I could find was a size 12 - 18 month costume. But I knew it would fit around his head and arms, so I bought it and hoped for the best. I have to say, it looks awful cute, and nobody really knew it was about five sizes too small for him :D

Rora got to be the cutest oompa loompa around.

Last year we made it about two houses before Gavin wore out.

This year was a little different...Common, sister, let's GOOOOOOOooooo!

My cuties!

Aurora had a really great time too, she really got into it. I guess that's what happens when you have an older brother to show you the ropes!

Happy Happy Happy Happy

Birthday to my favorite four year old! Today Gavin said "Is it Oct-O-ber 30?"
"Ohhhhh! Oh boy! I *like* being four!"
We started the day with a pancakes filled with love.

Then went with Daddy to change tires, since winter is just around the corner, and over to Grandma and Pa's for naps while Mommy and Daddy did their magic. The special dinner request was for "meat, *new* rice, and chicken" so we had chicken and Rice-A-Roni. Then opened presents and had cake.

Oh so much fun!

He was very excited about his trucks, especially the garbage truck! Mommy was very excited about the fish...

Which I just knew would be a big hit!

There are two zebra fish - one stripped and one neon orange, a glass shrimp, and a frog. How much better could it get!

Aurora was very excited about the fish too!

Make a wish!

Blow out the candles!

YAY!

Happy Birthday to my Baby Boy! I like four too!

Worn Out!

We had such a great time at Arleigh's. Tons of family, great food. The kids were wonderful despite a long drive there and everyone had a great time catching up. Too funny that Glenn and Janna were in town at the same time we were! Here are the cousins tearing it up on the deck. Good times.

No wonder everyone fell asleep in the car on the way home!

Found!

After searching high and low, I finally found my camera! Good thing too since I'll need it on our voyages, soon to come!!! Babies are happy and healthy (well minus the constant fall sniffle) and Daddy and I am busy busy busy. Same Baker show, same Baker channel. Life as usual...

Happy Birthday

Grandma! We're so lucky to have you in our lives. No big surprises this year, but hopefully you had a great day anyway :D
