Halloween

For Halloween this year Anna went as a monkey (Josh's costume from last year) and Josh went as Perry the Platypus/ Agent P from Phineas and Ferb.




It was nearly impossible to get the 2 of them to stand nice and look at the camera, lol!

For those of you who don't know who Perry is....

Watching the other trick or treaters

heading out with mom for some trick or treating. We got about halfway down the block before Josh was saying he was tired and asked me to carry his bag because it was too heavy....

Mike dressed as Dr Doofensmirtz from Phineas and Ferb, so he and "Perry" were "fighting" in the front yard

Anna kept taking candy out of the bucket for the trick or treaters so she could play with it (crinkly wrappers are lots of fun!)

Josh helping hand out candy

Anna playing with the yard decorations.... She actually put a piece of candy in the skull and was dumping it out and putting it back in....

again, playing with a crinkly bag...

My sister did the Perry pumpkin, Mike did the T Rex for Josh and my dad helped Anna carve the little smiley pumpkin

Big smiley pumpkin was mine and Mike did a white pumpkin w/ the ghost busters logo

balloons

Nana L sent the kids some punching balloons....

They started off as fun

then they became weapons

and then, they went in the mouth....

collection of pics....

Josh wanted to wrap his Woody (from Toy Story) doll with my baby carrier.

Reading....

look at those eyes, what a cutie!

Anna spilled some granola on the floor, went to the napkin drawer, pulled out a few handfulls of napkins and tried to wipe up the mess :)

someone likes daddy's spaghetti sauce

In the monkey costume (yep, that's the same sweatshirt that Josh is wearing in the other pic)

books

I added a new page off to the right of book ideas for the kids.  We have been reading a lot lately and I've been keeping a list of the books we really enjoy in case anyone is looking for gift ideas :) 

snuggling

whenever Josh gets in trouble, anna goes over to sit by him and make sure he's ok

so sad

Mike and Josh went outside to do some work and Anna was so sad that she couldn't go out to. She flopped down by the back door and snuggled with the rug

and screamed and cried...

and flopped down some more...

but then mommy cheered her up some (after I quit taking pictures of how pathetic she was...)
