Happy Halloween!!

The boys had a very nice Halloween, although you wouldn't know it by the looks on their faces in most of the pictures, lol. My little Tigger and Pooh Bear were given a lot of attention by all the neighbors, and even though he made Grammy carry him, Eli enjoyed going to a couple of houses. Grammy, Papa Steve, Uncle Matt, Devon, Peej, and our friends Kerri, Dean and Shannon all came over to spend the evening with us. Enjoy these attempts at capturing smiles...even though it didn't work so well!

Trying to get Tigger and Pooh to strike a pose...

They both look quite pitiful, especially Tigger

I got one smile...Grammy must have been over there

My little squishy Pooh bear

Onto the next failed attempt. Trying to get the 3 boys:

(Peej REALLY wanted Miles' binky, and to stick his fingers in his mouth, lol)

Eli wouldn't give up that empty cup...Miles was losing patience

Clearly Miles got their attention

Eli sharing his sucker with his best bud Augi

Next failed attempt, Matt and the boys

Peej and Eli had a blast rolling around in the front yard.

Eli was also sooo good at handing out candy!

And the final failed attempt, Grammy with the bigger boys:

This picture will make me laugh forever and ever...you just had to be there, lol.

Hey, at least Grammy is looking at the camera in this one!

Happy Halloween everyone! Maybe next year we'll get a little more cooperation. I won't hold my breath though! ;)

Boo at the Zoo

Boo at the Zoo would be what I'd call a well planned disaster. We met up with our favorite family, The Puchmeyers, at McDonalds for a fast dinner first. The kids were having a great time running around in the play land...but we packed them up anyway and headed to the zoo! I am pretty sure it took us a good 20 minutes after parking before we even started walking towards the zoo, lol. By the time we got all the kids in costume, the strollers ready to go, and looked for Lucy's missing binky, it had been a bit. Of course, I had to get a shot of my little Tigger and Pooh before the fun began!

Miles, AKA Pooh Bear

Notice in all the chaos the stickers are still on the ears, lol
Mommy and Tigger...finally moving!!

And then we got into to zoo...getting ready to take pictures of the kids with some of the animals and characters...and my camera lens broke!! To top it off, Callista's camera was almost out of batteries! And pretty much the whole time, one of our four children was crying/unhappy. It's easy to laugh about it now, as we were all just one giant hot mess! Callista did get a picture of our little "Poohs" together, and Tigger and Minnie before her camera died. I stole these from her. (Thanks Callista, love ya!!) Oh, and Miles and Lucy having the same costume was a complete coincidence!

This was as good as it got with Bella and Eli, lol!
