Happy Halloween!!

Well we didn't have any snowstorms to start off the Halloween week.... but still had to contend with Hurricane Sandy! Luckily the skies were clear by Halloween. Nicholas announced he did not want to put on his costume and go trick or treating this year.... but as soon as he saw the first kids come to grandpa's door to collect candy, he couldn't get dressed quick enough. The 3 houses he originally agreed to visit soon turned into almost 15!! Needless to say the boys had a great night but were quite crany the next morning after going to bed late and all the sugar withdrawl from the day before :)

The boys were both Hiccup from the How to Train Your Dragon movie (aka Vikings!). Life is so much easier when they are both the same character -- no fighting over costumes or props!!

Thanks to Grandpa and Nana for hosting us again this year. They have such a wonderful neighborhood with lots of sidewalks and lots of neighbors that give out lots of candy!!

Overdue updates from the Boys :)

We are way overdue to send out some updates to our friends and family :)

The boys watching movies in their Mickey Mouse pull out couch from Grammie Beals......

The boys having fun playing with a salamander Dad brought home from his day of golfing ......

Niholas hangin' on the couch with his 'little tv'

Pony rides on Dad.....

Jason is getting ready for vacation!!

Pony rides when Dad isn't home aren't quite as fun.....

but atleast they take turns :)

Fire Marshall Jay --- yes the vac can double as a fire hose!

Goodbye pool season :(

It was a great pool season this year! Nicholas learned how to swim under water and started jumping off the diving board. Jason started 'jumping' off the diving board too but more importantly started doing the doggie paddle to swim on his own!

Nicholas' 3 year old stats

Nicholas passed his 3 year checkup with flying colors! He didn't even cry when he had to have his finger pricked for a lead test! Here are his latest stats:

                                 weight = 36 lbs = 84th percentile
                                 height = 39 inches = 79th percentile

A day at the beach!

Although Mom completely enjoyed a whole day to herself, I think the boys had even more fun going to the beach with Dad and Auntie Aimee and Kylie. Uncle Jimmy and Auntie Karin even came down to get in on the fun!
