Happy Halloween

This year, RJ got to trick or treat three times. Once at preschool, once at Kids Club at the Sport & Health and once in the neighborhood. Here are a few pics from our very exciting week!

The whole class listening to Mrs. Wojcik read a spooky story.

Once I realized how ridiculous his head gear was, I took it off.

RJ could not contain his excitement over his first lollipop!

Our neighborhood has a parade and party before the trick or treating begins.

The whole neighborhood crew...One benefit of dressing your child in blaze orange is that you can't lose him!

It's impossible to get RJ to sit still, especially after Mass.

Cousin's Visit - Out and About

RJ is getting a little too big for the bucket swing.

This picture sums up everything from the whole week - the girls listening and behaving themselves and RJ doing the opposite of everything asked of him.

RJ's desire to lick things is going to push me over the edge as we enter flu season/winter.

So. Disgusting.

Cecelia, RJ and Lydia discover the puddles are much more fun than the playground.

I think this was the last evidence we have of dry children.

The Many Faces of Julia

Julia has become quite expressive both verbally and nonverbally in the past month. Here's a few moments Ana captured while she was here...

Puddle Jumping

Who doesn't love puddle jumping?
