Half o' October

Cousin Time!

Ready for a pony ride.

Jayden:  "I'm still winning!"
Carter:  "No fair!"

Ready for a tractor ride.

Long ago, these two bandits served their time.

Now they are back for more.

More hardened than ever.

After quite a bit of convincing, Carter finally braved the dark tunnel.
Carter: "That wasn't so bad."

Darlin' it's better down where it's wetter; Under the sea.

He can't see you if you don't move!!!

Apparently this is Jayden's sister, or so she says.
Poor Mommy.

Spencer Says.  The best game ever!

An hour after we put her to bed, Jayden comes out with a confession:
She wasn't in bed. 
(yes, that is Grammy's lipstick)

Grammy got three new statues in her front yard.

Grammy???

Jayden got very offended and sat on this box for about 20 minutes, pouting.
Thank you to all the concerned passersby who stopped thinking she was a lost child.

Pause for a quick lunch.

The new and improved Dr. Batty.

Dr. Batty, running a PET scan.

Jayden freeing Carter from the playground.

This is how you do it, brother!

Oh, I got the hang of it!

Sharing their feelings about brushing their teeth.

Norm channeling his inner government worker.

Tuesday hitching a ride home.

We couldn't leaf this one out.

Carter's turn.

Teaching Carter how to be a manly man.

Our princess and our superhero

On a quest.

Dad didn't feel like dressing up this year.

Enjoying a tortilla chip sandwich.
Recipe:  1 tortilla chip between 2 ritz crackers.
Delicious.

Carving pumpkins is boring....

....Fine I'll do it....

......Oh, that actually looks pretty interesting......

.....Ok I'll help you......

.......Me too!

Cuddling with Grammy

Halloween dinner:  Mummy dogs.

Trying to show proper etiquette even eating this finger food.

Trick or treating

First dentist appointment.
She did awesome!

Deep in the heart of Africa, wild animals seamlessly blend into their surroundings......

........Until they are ready to attack!

Daddy and his baby girl

Younger Daddy and his baby girl.
(the hair equilibrium is constant, though the balance has shifted.  Where there is a gain, there is also a loss).

Thank you Burlington Coat Factory, for supplying fun, safe playground equipment for children.

Including monkey bars...

....and a ropes course.
(although, you might have put more thought into which department you select to host the playplace.  Luckily we left before the kids found the slingshots).

Carter's first school report!
