November 1

Our last night of trick-or-treating tonight! At the last minute Grayson really disobeyed and didn't get to go, so Woody was on his own tonight!
 
 
We went to Grandma Toni's (the house where we stayed when we were in between houses in September)

Happy Halloween!
 
Tonight we only got to Trick-or-Treat at one place since we had to be at church. So we made it a late night and went to GiGi, Bills, and Shannon's house. And in true toddler fashion, the costumes changed again! Eeyore became Woody

So exicted to wear his Halloween jammies that glow in the dark!

This morning we had a Halloween playdate with a bunch of friends. Grayson decided he was going to be Batman and Neylan switched to Eeyore

Yesterday we were "booed" by a neighbor. So, today I had to keep the "booing" going by giving little goody bags to two other neighbors. We've never been in such a family-friendly, fun neighborhood before. We are LOVING it here!
 
In our boo package yesterday were 2 cans of silly string. Adam thought it would be a great idea to teach the boys how to use it- on me!!

Although it was a bit chilly, we ventured back to the zoo today for Boo at the Zoo. These very thick costumes were perfect for the day and the boys had a great time trick-or-treating. Since it was colder, there were VERY few animals out today, but the boys didn't seem to mind since they were on a mission to collect candy!




Eeyore and Tigger found their friend, Owl
 


 
Eeyore loves candy!

The weather became VERY cold today, but that didn't stop us from getting out for some fresh air. Nana and Granddad arrived on Wednesday for a short visit, so we decided to take them to the school playground in our neighborhood. The boys rode their bikes there because it's so close!

Someone noticed these outfits in the closet and wanted to try them on. A Halloween run-through? We'll see what mood these guys are in next week. I highly doubt Tigger and Eeyore will remain the costume of choice.

I have an OT student with me this semester, so I sent her into Target to grab something for us this morning while I dropped off the boys at daycare. She came out with this for me!! She must be trying to make sure I pass her!!
 

October 23

Tonight I had the opportunity to treat a little girl from Switzerland. I worked with her once last year and they are in town again this week, so they aked if I could see her again. My payment was this large box of real Swiss chocolate! They gave this to me last year and it was heavenly, so I was quite excited to get another box. And just in case others might be tempted to help me eat this, it's been strategically hidden in the house!

Another beautiful day called for a fun morning at the zoo with friends. We went to a different part of the zoo and saw different animals this time.
 
 
The carousel cannot be skipped on any trip though

As hard as we tried to get the boys to take a bath in their bathroom, they really just want to spread out and play in our really big tub. But, the only way we can get them washed is if someone gets in with them. So, this is how it goes- for now, until they can bathe on their own!

The weather forecast looked absolutely beautiful today, so we took another trip to the zoo as a family!
 
 
Our zoo is so big and spread out that you can go several times and not see the same things twice. So, today we did a new section that we haven't done before.


 
We've heard great things about the bird show that the zoo does everyday, so decided to check it out today. The zoo-keeper asked for a volunteer at one point and Grayson was the only one who raised his hand! He didn't know he was volunteering to sit on this stump while the owl flew right over his head. He really liked it and commented about how he was "so brave"!



 
There were so many great kids activities today. Today's craft was making spider hats

 
They also had a hay ride,

 
 a pirate ship and plank to practice walking on,

 
 
and a huge picture to paint
 

 
We had a great family day and by 2:00 this little guy was done!

The boys got to spend the evening with GG, Bill, and Shannon tonight. Shannon is a very talented cake artist and was working on some Elmo, Zoe, and Abby cupcakes for a birthday party tomorrow. She was so nice to leave a couple of Elmo cupcakes out for the boys to sample after dinner.
