Halloween Preview

Here's what the boys might look like on Halloween, and I say might because it wasn't easy getting them in to these costumes. Well, Hudson loves to be a vampire, but he doesn't care for his picture taken and needed to be bribed with suckers (after a few frustrated tears of course!). And Paxton was bribed with getting to go outside. I will not be holding my breath on Halloween night that Paxton will be a duck, he's not a big fan! We only did this for Grandma. She puts their picture in the paper every year. I'm not sure its worth the trouble, sweat, and tears.

maddi & pumpkins

Wednesdays are our lucky days! Not only do we get supper at Sheri and Arnie's house, but when Maddi doesn't have to work, she takes the opportunity to come home to visit us! And this time, she brought gifts.....pumpkin arts and crafts!

She made the catepillar for the boys and they loved it!
Thanks Maddi! We love you, and your creative talents!

Combining with Grandpa

I picked up Hudson from daycare today and asked if he wanted to go out in the combine with Grandpa, and his eyes got real big as he asked, "The corn is ready?!?!" He was so excited, yelling for me to turn into that field because he could see Grandpa!

And when the sun was setting he still wasn't ready for Mom to come get him! Your little farmer sidekick will be back Grandpa, to sit on his "buddy seat" next to you.

Pre-K Picture

Our baby's first school picture. Hard to believe.

Happy Birthday Grandma Sharon!

We celebrated Grandma Sharon's birthday today and the whole family went to Red Lobster.....all 22 of us! Hudson was very excited to give her the card he made and the shirt he picked out for her!

Happy Birthday Grandma Sharon! We love you!

The witch is out!!

The boys playing with the little ghost boy at Sheri's house. When you clap or make a loud noise, the ghost dances and laughs.

Hudson ran around yelling, "The witch is out! The witch is out!"
Hunter and the boys.

Just like Daddy....

Practicing Vampire

Sheri bought Hudson vampire teeth. Pretty scary, huh?!?!

Bath Crayons

I gave in and bought the boys bath crayons, even with the tile and grout (which by the way, came clean pretty easily). Hudson drew his 1st "picture". He's drawn shapes and letters before, written his name, but never an actual picture, and in the bathtub, he drew a SUN. And Mommy was proud!

And since Mommy said we shouldn't have bath crayons in case it doesn't come off, Hudson was sure to prove me wrong and scrub away!

Fall Times

Hudson and I raked a HUGE pile of leaves for him to jump in.

Pax watched from the deck while eating from his big bag of apples :)
And we walked to the park where Pax tried with all his might to pull big brother in the wagon.

ValleyScare- Planet Spooky

On Saturday, the boys joined Regan and Sidney at Valleyfair to partake in their Halloween festivities. All 4 of them had SO MUCH fun!! It was fun for all us parents and grandmas to watch.

This ride had them all giggling! Sidney, Hudsy, and Pax on the little Merry-Go-Round.Paxton going through the Trick-or-Treat Maze. Mommy and Hudsy on the balloon ride.Once Hudson got this puppy mask, he didn't want to take it off!
The grandma's took the 3 year olds on the swing.
Pax never minded riding by himself.Hudson sat very still and patiently while getting his face painted like a leopard. He LOVED it!! Daddy and Paxton on the race cars. Pax surprised us all and loved the ride. But I get more of a kick out of Hudson in the background with Grandma. Hudsy and Snoopy. These two were inseparable by the end of the day and it was adorable!

Century 21-Food Shelf/Pumpkins

The boys took some food shelf items to Century 21 and got to take hom pumpkins in return. Hudson picked out some great ones for Daddy to carve!

And surprisingly, he loved this witch!
Never real big fans of sitting still for a picture together.

Homecoming Parade

This parade is the best one of the season! It's about 20 minutes long, perfect temperature, and LOADS of candy!

MADDI!!

Maddi came to visit and the boys soaked up all the attention, especially Hudson, who turns into a little show off when we have company.

Playing Hookie

I'm pretty sure this little boy played hookie today. He told Mommy he had a tummy ache, but when Mommy turned the car around, away from daycare towards home, he giggled to himself. Not to mention, played the entire day away. Oh well, one extra day home with my boys.

Dinner and Toes

Lobsters!

Daddy has been wanting to go to Red Lobster since seeing the commercial for endless shrimp, so tonight, we kindly obliged. And he sure made it worth it, eating A LOT of shrimp!

Pax showing me his sour face after tasting the lemon.

Watching the lobsters swim.
Surprisingly, Hudson touched the lobster, even let it pinch his finger, but Paxton didn't get too close, and just giggled at it instead.

Pumpkinfest

The whole family went to the annual Pumpkinfest on this beautiful afternoon.

We waited in a long line for Hudsy to ride the train. He loved it and said it wasn't long enough.
Poor Pax has been getting his "i" teeth for awhile now, causing a serious runny nose and red cheeks.
