Getting ready for Halloween!

2011-10-25 015

The last few days we have been getting ready for Halloween. Last night we went to go pick out pumpkins. Adam was sooo happy to find a cute little pumpkin just like he wanted. 

Or I should say a “cool” pumpkin. Adam describes everything as cool, and he insists that everyone else do the same (although we certainly don’t always comply). He gets upset when I say things are pretty…and corrects me with, “No!, It’s cool!”

Anyways, he is so happy about his pumpkin and he keeps talking about it throughout the day. It is really adorable.

Tyler loves his little pumpkin too. He carries it around a lot, and he likes to line up all the pumpkins in a row. (He likes to line up lots of things in rows…blocks, cars, etc. Must be a two-year-old thing. I distinctly remember pictures of me at two lining up my Dad’s chess pieces.)

Erik and Alex both got nice big pumpkins – you will see them farther down the page…

Today I finished making felt super-hero masks. We have paper ones I made months ago, but I decided to make felt ones for Halloween – so they would be stronger.

Adam is talking on his “super-hero phone,” and I guess Tyler has his “super baby doll!”

Here’s Tyler’s upset face. He didn’t want me to take another picture…and Adam still on the “phone”…gotta wonder who he’s talking too? Important super-hero business no doubt.

Alex drew a cool spooky face on his pumpkin. Adam was scared of it at first, but he seems to have gotten over it.

Pumpkins on the TV (and the total extent of my Halloween decorating).

And more pictures after Erik got home from school.

Today I also made a big red felt “A” and ironed it onto a shirt for Adam’s costume. “A” for Super Adam of course – in case you were wondering :)

Busy day, but now I feel much better that we are almost ready for Halloween.

Crazy hair day

Today was crazy hair day at school.

Erik wanted a mohawk. I wasn’t sure our gel would be strong enough…but it worked pretty well :)

At first Adam didn’t want to do crazy hair. He didn’t want any gel or anything. Then I suggested we just not comb the back of his hair and leave it in it’s natural “crazy” state. He went for that idea…

And here you have it…

Meow meow

Tyler loves to watch kitty videos and say “meow meow.” When the video is over he often says “more-y”…to ask for more kitties!

Cute kiss.

We got a bag of hand-me-downs from a friend. This is what Tyler and Adam “dressed up” in. Tyler is sporting a train conductor type hat, some swim trunks, and some nice (if too large for him) dress shoes. Adam fell in love with the red race car pajamas and wouldn’t take them off until the next day – even if they are a little too small.

Yeah!

Tyler looks so cute in the hat…

I got a little carried away with the pictures…

In honor of the first two cool days this Fall I've changed to a fall background :) Tyler loves this owl that was on a different background. That one didn't look right on the blog...but the owl sure is cute!



He keeps saying "Owl, hoo-hoo!"
