Thanksgiving Day

The carving of the Turkey's - yes there were three...One grilled, one fried and one baked.

The weather was beautiful so the kiddos got a lot of time playing outside.

Katie and Ellen took the train from New Orleans to spend Thanksgiving with us. We were so glad that they were able to come.  Eamon especially enjoyed all the cousin attention that he got.

Aunt Jen raked a big pile of leaves for the kiddos to jump in.

 By far, Emily had the best time in the leaves.

 The kids table

 Emily and Brady both wanted to sit by Eamon.

Then Emily and Brady discovered the cranberry sauce.

 

Yes, Brady is not wearing any pants - that's just how we roll.  And "how we roll" is not fighting over things that don't matter - like a 2 year old wearing pants on Thanksgiving.

  The 2-year olds wanted to ride the bike down the street - Ed came up with a solution so that they didn't get hurt going downhill.

 And then Batman returned.

Great Day

Great Food

Great Family

Last Soccer Game -

OK, so which way are we kicking the ball?

And MamaMarie was spotted...

 His Trophy!

Happy Halloween

The boys started off their Halloween with parties at school, a costume parade and a lot of sugar.

We got home from school/work and finished putting up our decorations and getting ready for the Trick-or-Treaters.   Eamon found a chair out front and was patiently waiting to give someone candy and for it to get dark so he could go out trick-or-treating.

 Brady never stopped eating candy!

I think the boys enjoy handing out candy just as much as they do trick-or-treating.  Eamon is always so concerned about other people.  He found a Spiderman hat in our yard so he insisted on asking everyone who came to our house if they had seen a Spiderman without a hat.  

After the first round of trick-or-treating the boys came back to the house and were sorting through their candy.  Eamon was taking the chocolate candy (which he doesn't like) and putting it in the bucket of candy we were handing out.  He was immediately stopped and told that the chocolate candy goes to the adults.

Last After School Park Trip

With the time change coming up, we took one last opportunity to head to the park after school/work.

Both boys had such a great time, until it was time to leave.  I guess the post-Halloween sugar withdrawal and lack of sleep caught up with them.
