Halloween

Wesley has been ready for this day for a few weeks now.  He and Mark went about a month ago and picked out his costume. He knew exactly what he wanted to be; Leonardo the Ninja Turtle.  Wesley's Grammy and Papaw came in town for the weekend.

 We had mummies, ghost and a jack o lantern for dinner.

 Once dinner was finished everyone got dressed up and ready to trick or treat.

Once Wesley finished trick or treating they headed back to the house to hand out candy. Wesley loved choosing what he was going to give everyone.

Next year the babies will have a costume, it's going to be fun.

Carving pumpkins

Wesley loves the Ninja Turtles so we knew that would be the perfect thing to carve in the pumpkin.

 Wesley didn't want to help clean out the pumpkin seeds again this year.  They were too slimy.

 Wesley being silly

 Wesley got bored waiting on the pumpkin to be finished so we grabbed one from the front porch and let his paint it.

 Then of course we had to have cookies.

 Finished project. So glad Wesley has a great Daddy that is artistic.

Luke woke up from his nap and decided to help Wesley finish up his pumpkin. Can't wait to see what our pumpkins will look like next year.

Pre K Fall Party

Wesley pre k class had a Fall party the day before Halloween.  They sang a few songs for the parents then had yummy pumpkin shaped cookies, cupcakes, pretzels and juice.

Singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider

Mark showed up to the party to watch Wesley sing. Wesley had a great time!

Fall Party

We decided to host a Fall party at our house this year.  My parent's came down to help with the babies. Wesley invited a few of his friends to come over and roast hot dogs and smores. We had a few games set up for the kids to play; pin the hat on the scarecrow, toss the ring around the pumpkin and a bean bag toss.

The babies stayed outside for just a little while before it got to cold and windy.

Roasting marshmallows

The boys loved running all over the yard and chasing each other.

Eating solids

When the babies turned 4 months old we started them on solids.  Wesley and I make their food; which he loves to do.  The first solid we had them try was oatmeal.  They really didn't care for it at all.  So the next day we added apple sauce to it. They look forward to their evening solid meal. When we are feeding them we have to hold their hands down or they immediately shove them in their mouths.  Some of their favorites so far are; butternut squash, carrots, sweet potatoes and zucchini.
