Costumes and Halloween 2010

“cough, cough”… I’m blowing the dust off my blog!

Collin is starting to use his bigger towels at bathtime now.  Love this puppy dog one that Ms. Suzy gave him. He was looking at himself in the mirror!

Although a puppy would be a cute Halloween costume, Collin was a bat this year.  He was too cute!!

Hailey and Jack love posing with Grandma’s Witchy Witch.  Hailey was Ariel the Mermaid and Jack was the Black Spiderman (not to be confused with Venom….two different characters – he was very adamant about that!)

We were on our way to our church’s annual Trunk or Treat!!

Darren was working the evening of our Trunk or Treat, but he was able to come by for a little dinner before heading to work.

Hailey did some mattress surfing again! She loves it.  Darren got some video on his phone, I’ll try to get it posted. She was waving at us, talking and holding on all at the same time!!

My mom and Sarah went too!!! Thanks to Sarah for these pictures!

They were COVERED in dirt… in their teeth and everything!!

Papa and Collin

This year’s Jackolantern! We had three pumpkins but after this one took me two days of working on it because the kids abandoned me after a few cuts, I left the other two in tact!  Next year they are making their own…. none of this picking the picture they want and leaving mommy out to dry!!

Jack had a pumpkin painting project at school.  It was during his Parent and Child involvement time (sad that they have to have special time set aside for that) He had a blast and got more paint on him standing in line to wash his hands than he did during the activity!!

 

LOVE THESE PICTURES!

Jack was playing in the baby’s room while I was off doing some chores. I left Collin in his crib to hang out.  I stepped in to check on the boys and this is how I found him!  Jack ‘dressed’ him!!  It was too funny and so cute!

My sweet baby boy.  Could just eat him up!

On our actual night of trick or treating we headed over to a friend’s house for some food and fun.  Then we trick or treated in their neighborhood and walked over to another friend’s house for a Haunted Back Yard!!!

It was so much fun and ‘most’ of the kids loved it!!

Here is Surgeon Dawn preforming an organ retrieval from Mike!!

4 months old

Collin is 4 months old now

He is such a momma’s boy! Loves, LOVES to be held and I totally give in!

16lbs 1 oz  &  25 inches

I just love him to pieces and he has brought so much joy to our home.  I love how his brother and sister take care of him and can not go to sleep until they have covered him in kisses!

The Tooth Fairy came to our house!

So before I get to our exciting news here are a few ‘Sunday Morning’ pictures.  In honor of Fall we all wore brown to church last week! Perfect for getting a picture together.

Baby looks like a stiff board in this one! He loves to stand up.      Hailey FINALLY lost her first tooth!!  She’s three months shy of being 7, but one finally came out!! She was so excited. Pulled it out herself at school, during circle time so that she had the most attention as possible!! I was caught off guard and quickly whipped up this pillow for her to put her tooth in (heart pocket).  She helped me and loves it.  The tooth fairy came and left $2. 

Story Time

Having fun during our night time routine.  I love my kiddos!!

I found Jack reading Collin a story… however Collin was a little distracted by his sister who was hanging off her top bunk :)

Now he’s listening!  p.s.  Amber… he loves his blanket! 

Last week Hailey had her Investiture ceremony for Daisy Scouts.  This is where they welcome all the brand new members. It was held with another Brownie Troop.

Collin was a ham that night…. he even felt the need to steal the show by doing his ‘deed’ during the QUIET part!!We see this look all the time right now.  He seriously bites his hand to the point of leaving tiny scratches and suck marks.  Who knows maybe he’s working on an early tooth!

Hanging out with Papa. 

The new Daisies got to “light” a candle.  

Here she is with her troop leader and some of the girls.

Jack is 5 !!!

This past Sunday my Jack-Jack turned 5yrs. old!  Collin and I took cupcakes to his class the Friday before. 

The kids loved having Collin there and swarmed him.  I just kept reminding them to not touch his hands. He loved all the attention and just kept smiling at all of them :)~ Saturday evening Jack wanted to celebrate at Chuck E. Cheeze!  This place is about 100 yrs. old and looks exactly the same as when I was his age!! haha! But he had a lot of fun and that is all that matters!

Reid and Collin did not seem too impressed though.    

Here’s Hailey trying her best to look like the grumpy sister that HAD to tag along.

She did better in this one!  (I promise she had a great night)  Jack got lots of cool gifts.  Too much Toy Story stuff to even keep track of!
