Spooky Halloween Party

Cousin Charlie "hosted" a very fun Halloween Party at Bubba and Grampy's house. He made creepy appetizers, spooky punch and somehow he found some brains and eyeballs we all had to feel! EEEEWWWWW! We had quite a night! The cousins had a blast (Ninja Charlie, school bus AJ and skunk Ben).

Meet Arlo-

I recently got to take a trip all by myself :) I went to Minnesota and left the boys at home. I went to visit my great friend and college roomie Kristina - her new baby Arlo and husband Darrell. I had the best, most relaxing time. You forget what it's like to be around a LITTLE baby after a while - you don't have to leave the bathroom door shut, you don't have to worry about leaving a cup on the coffee table, he doesn't play with the outlets or climb on the dining room table. (Hee he, just wait Kristina and Darrell!). He was such a sweet guy with a happy disposition. He was learning to roll while I was in town, so it was fun to see. Thanks again for a great trip!

Joe and Ben had a great time together. They bonded and did "guy stuff" - went to the park, Guitar Center, Borders, etc. When I got home the house was even clean - - - very impressive!

Drawing

Ben loves to draw. He also loves biting the tips off crayons (and that drives us nuts) so he mostly uses pencils and pens. He takes his drawings very seriously and we hang the finished pieces very low on the refrigerator door so he can see his work. He walks by his drawing and points and claps, so he must be fairly good.
