Trick or Treat!

We got dressed up in our costumes the other night.  Mommy took us to her work for some trick or treating.

 It was really easy to get some candy.  You just said "Trick or treat!" and then these nice people give you some candy and then you say "Thank you!"

 Leah says something like "Tic a tic!" and then she says "Ank too".  If you are paying attention, you can get what she is trying to say.

 I posed with some of Mommy's friends.

 Leah was too busy counting up her lollipops, which she calls "poppops" by the way.

 Here are all the kids that went trick or treating.  It was fun and we didn't get rained on since we were inside!

Now, if I could just figure out where Mommy hid the candy...

Pumpkins Painting Pumpkins!

Last week we went to Jumbo's Pumpkin Patch.  After we sailed through the corn maze, we picked out pumpkins.  Leah and I decided to paint ours.

 Leah starts out all smiles and giggles.

 Then she starts sneaking some paint to see if it is tasty.

 She would only paint one side of her pumpkin too!

 I painted the whole thing.

 I loved mixing all the colors!

 Leah kept working between eating paint and one side of her pumpkin.

 I decided the paint would make a yummy lipstick.

 Do you like Leah's beard?

 At least she is happy...maybe its from the paint.

Happy Halloween!

Country Livin'

One of the best part of living in the country is that I get to see animals everywhere, everyday.  I can even see cows from my bedroom window!  Mommy and Daddy take us to a place called South Mountain Creamery.  There's tons to see and do...and they have ice cream!

 We climb on tractors!

Leah would make a great farmer, don't ya think?!?

This tractor seat with the holes is cool!

We saw calves!

Hogs.

Chickens.

Goats.

My favorite part is when we get to feed the calves.

Leah was not feeling so hot that day.

Those calves suck that milk down fast!

When they are done they are looking for more!

I love the country!

It's 'Cross Season!

It's time once again for cyclocross season.  Usually, we go and watch Daddy race, but this year, I'm racing too!  Here is my first number!

 Don't I look good?

This is me at the start line.

It's hard to concentrate with all those other kids around.  The boy next to me has pedals on his bike.  That's the only reason he beat me.

 

 
This is Daddy's race face...











And this is mine.











This is how smooth I am when I race...

And this is Daddy.

 This is how I roll over the barriers.











My bike is light as a feather.

 Daddy's is still probably lighter.

I got second place, behind the pedaler.

But even second place is sweet!
Ok, it's really not about winning or losing, but having fun!

Racing is tiring!

The Beach,, Part 2

This is gonna be quick since our beach vacation seems like eons ago! I mean, I already started preschool! I'm ready for football and fall, but I do love the beach!We played in the sand.
We tried to make sandcastles.
But Leah and I kept knocking them down.
Water run!
Nanny swam with me ALOT!
Leah was happy snacking.
We buried Daddy.
Then we dug a hole and
buried Leah.
But she
didn't seem
to mind!

I ran.
Daddy looking like he wants to pull his hair out:)
Leah thinking about exacting revenge on Daddy for burying her in the sand
Here is what we found after nap one day.
I guess destroying your crib makes you tired.
But she fixed it all by herself!
One night, we had dinner out on the beach.
I will say that Leah and I didn't eat much because we were too busy playing.
Daddy and I went out on the alligator!

Here's Leah pretending she wants to go in the water.
All of us went waaaay our there.
Then I went by myself.
I may have freaked out a little bit.
Will
she
ever
learn
????
Smores on the grill afterward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye,bye beach. Until next year!
