I laughed when I went to check on Alex one night in May of 2007 and found him sleeping like this. I thought it was so cute that I couldn't help myself, I had to take a picture before putting him back in bed. Then a few nights ago I went to check on Matt and found him sleeping like this. I laughed and knew I had to take a picture. It will make a great scrapbook page. I just love my boys.
Dennis had a lot of fun carving the pumpkins this year.
My mom bought the boys each a small pumpkin and Dennis put an A & M on them for Alex & Matt
These are the pumpkins that the boys picked out. I don't remember which is which, but Dennis carved characters from their favorite show Pheneas & Ferb. Everyone loved these ones.
Dennis made me an Elmo pumpkin...
...and Dennis' pumpkin was a Storm Trooper.
Everyone has been asking about the boys Halloween pictures and I finally had time to post them. We did a lot for Halloween this year. The boys got a lot of use out of their costumes. Matt was a fuzzy puppy, but didn't like the hood, so you can't see the ears in most of the pictures.
Daddy & Matt at the Great Pumpkin Quest in Brooklyn Michigan. The stores in downtown Brooklyn pass out candy and have fun activities for the kids. Alex loves getting to hang out with his "boy cousins", and we got to see them both play soccer in the morning before heading into town for the Pumpkin Quest.
Daddy & his boys picking out pumpkins at Mary's Farm Market in Canton. They only charged us $3 per pumpkin and gave the boys each a little one for free. Alex & Matt had a great time picking out their pumpkins. Alex kept saying that they were either too big or too small for him because he was either "not a grown up" or "a big boy". It was pretty funny to hear his logic for why he shouldn't pick each pumpkin.
Alex & I went to the Safe Halloween put on by the students in the SADD program at Woodhaven High School, one of the buildings I work in. Alex loved following the footprints around the building. He got to paint a pumpkin, make a cookie, get candy & have his face painted by one of the students. He had her try Lightning McQueen, it didn't really look like him, but Alex loved it.Then we went to the Trick-or-Treat Parade in Canton with Pa. They have companies and organizations from all over Canton come and hand out candy. Each little area has a different theme.
Here's Matt with his ears kind of on. He pulled it off as soon as I snapped the picture. The boys and I went out trick-or-treating for about 2 1/2 hours while Dennis handed out candy at home. We got a LOT of candy! So much that we divided it up and gave Grama & Pa their favorites, Dennis got a bag of his favorites, I took some to work for my high school students and the boys still have too much left over at home.
