Tea Party with Daddy

Corbin used the nice china and had a tea party with little Miss Avery. He taught her how to be a proper lady and stick out her pinkie while holding her cup. She adored her time with her daddy!

Look, Mommy, I am a Spotted Cheetah!

Cael is so creative when I am busy changing Gabriel's diaper.

Trick or Treating, Part 2

We had a great time trick-or-treating with kids last night. Cael decided that he wanted to be Batman as I don't think he was too fond of the Spooky Ghost face paint removal process. Avery was a fairy/princess, and Gabriel was a puppy dog for a good 2 1/2 minutes. The weather was crummy - it was cold and rainy and windy so the actual trick or treating didn't last too long. Avery was ready go home after about 5 minutes, but she did love handing out the candy when kids came to our door. Cael made it all the way around the block. Grandma Karen and Grandpa Craig came over for the evening which made the festivities even sweeter!

Trick or Treat

The tradition in our neighborhood is for children to tell a joke to get a piece of candy. It is very amusing! Cael's joke was borrowed from his cousin Carter. It goes like this:

What kind of tree can fit in my hand?
A Palm Tree!

Ha, ha, ha...

He also enjoyed singing the "trick or treak, smell my feet..." song.

The Forgotten Son

Tonight Cael said,

"Mom, did you know that God so loved the world that he gave his only forgotten son."

Silly, silly boy :)

Spooky Ghost

Last night we went to a Pumpkin Festival at a local church. Cael really wanted to be a "spooky ghost". Take one pillow case, a little face paint, and Corbin's creativity - Viola! A Spooky Ghost was born! Cael loved looking at himself in the mirror, and was quick to point out that he was wearing face paint - not make up!


Poor Gabe was terrified while Cael was in costume, and started screaming. I was a little concerned that we might get kicked out of the event as the kids were supposed to wear "non-scary" costumes! Avery was Tinkerbell. They had lots of fun jumping on the inflatables, making crafts, and scoring tons of candy! I will get more pictures of Avery on Friday night which is Beggar's Night.

It's Official!

Gabriel is crawling! Let the re-baby proofing of the house begin!
