Halloween/Fall mini Shoot

A few days before Halloween we took the boys downtown to a little rest area with a gazebo and a really sweet wooden bridge so I could try to get some pictures of them. I doubt I would have ever really noticed it if Brandy hadn't asked me to take family photos there. The trees are starting to look so amazing here and the leaves have been falling so the setting is adorable for a little shoot. 

Of course the boys didn't want to get any pictures together.

To Buy or Not to Buy

I know we said we'd never went to buy a house in Georgia, but lately I've been thinking maybe it's not such a horrible idea. While trick or treating Monday we find one right down the street from Brandy and Gary that we really liked and may be having a look at it sometime this weekend or next week. 

We are still trying to decide on what we really want to do and are weighing all the options. I'd love to have something other than this apartment. I miss having a yard and room for all of our things. 

Guess we will have to sit down with someone and see exactly what we would be getting into. Either way it's pretty exciting!

Oh oh Cheerios!

Jensen is loving getting to eat cheerios. He gets so excited and starting smashing them and flinging them all over the place. Last night Jensen thought it would be fun to dump out a half full bag of cereal on the floor and then roll in them.

He's so cute I couldn't even be annoyed about the huge, crunchy mess he made.

Sidewalk Chalk

Since the weather has been really nice I've been trying to do more things outside with Caleb. The other day we got some sidewalk chalk so while Jensen was napping Caleb and I decorated the walkway in front of the apartment. 

Halloween/Co. Party

October 28th was 549th's Halloween party, so we had to run and find Caleb a costume since we had waited so long to grab one. We ended up with a baby monkey and a gun toting Cowboy.  The kids all had fun ... except for poor Ally who would have rather been anywhere but there since she wasn't very fond of the masked monsters. We stayed long enough to trick or treat with the other kids and then the boys started getting crabby.

Cowboy didn't want to stop playing

HALLOWEEN NIGHT

Halloween night we went over to the Warnock's to trick or treat in their neighborhood. Caleb had so much fun getting to walk up to the doors with Gavin and Ally .... he didn't even need help from mom and dad.

Reading Time

Cookie Monster

Last Friday was the post-wide yardsale here at Stewart. We drove around trying to find some winter clothes for the boys since we got rid of the majority of their clothes before we left Germany. I didn't even think to keep some of Caleb's long sleeve shirts for Jensen at the time and now I'm paying for it.

One of the first places we stopped at had a couple things for Jensen and Caleb managed to find  a woman selling pumpkin cookies so naturally he had to get a little baggy. Turns out he didn't really care for them so they went to Jensen. He's never actually tried eating any cookie other than the baby teething ones so it was cute watching him try it.

He ended up eating the whole thing while we were at the park after a long day of yard-sailing.

Tina the Turtle

While walking Bella and Peter a few weeks ago Brandy and Tasha found a baby alligator snapping turtle in the middle of the road. It was covered in smelly, dried, mud and wasn't able to open it's mouth. They brought it back with them to the house and the next day while the boys and I were over we washed him off and gave him a little bowl with some water. 

We've been calling the turtle Tina ... thanks to our mini obsession with Napoleon Dynamite. We aren't sure Tina can actually see so we are trying to find a rescue center around here where we can take him/her to ...

Since we don't want to deal with this down the road.

Hanging Out

Puke ... yummy

Ladies Day Out ... With the Boys

While the guys were in the field Brandy, Tasha, the boys, and myself did a little shopping at the PX and then headed over to our favorite coffee shop for a treat. Even Caleb got something yummy while we were there.

After finishing up there we trudged through the rain to the truck and headed for Brandy's since Gavin and Ally would be getting home soon.
