We painted pumpkins for FHE on Monday. Painted you ask.... Yeah, Tommy has a wierd fasination with knives so they are kept what out of his reach, and it's fun to watch them go wild with paint.
I didn't get any good pictures of the three boys together with costumes so this is what we got.
So after many tears and a handful of candy given for no good reason other than for my satisfaction of the boys wearing the costumes that I want them to wear, waiting for about a half hour for Steve to come home, forgetting what time the "trunk 'or' treat" was starting so the kids ended up with toast and a banana for dinner..... we finally left the house.
We came home and went to a couple houses around the neighborhood, and decided to make our way back to the house once Tim started getting really tired and when James and Tommy started walking into people's houses wanting to see what toys they had. Good thing I was staning right there.So here we are and all children are in bed and I think the boys made out pretty well.
Here's to another Halloween, and the start of the holiday season (because we know all the Christmas stuff is out already) and maybe, just maybe I'll start on a rocket costume for next year for James.
Not a whole lot has happen this past week. Just same old same old.... Tim happily screaming every chance he gets. (and lately crying because he is cutting two more teeth) Tommy running around wanting to "do it myself". And James, getting ready for the primary program. Which by the way he did really well on! The last two practices that they had he wouldn't even sing the songs let alone get up and say his part. But yesterday, he stood up and sang, said his part, and.... wanted to do it three of four more times. the only down part wast that the Stake presidency and the Bishopric were still sitting on the stand and they put the Sunbeams right behind the Stake Presidency, so we saw only James' head most of the time, but he did peek between two heads to wave hi to us.
The boys love it when Steve throws them around and they always come back for more. and right now Tommy is just the right size for throwing. He's light enough to be thrown high and far. And it's a pretty good work out for Steve. And don't worry... Captain is always there to make sure things don't get out of control, and to step in when necessary.
Well, here's to another week. And to hoping that I can get all of the kids into the costume that I want them to wear for one last year.
Tommy is really a sweet kid, but boy, oh, boy do we have our moments. He is also our comic relief.... he is so funny. He sings at during dinner, has to have his hat on a certain way and is aleays trying to tell jokes.
He actually out weighed Tommy when Tommy was a year old. He crawls around and pulls him self up on everything, and has started climbing what he can. He gets into everything, and is preety much as stuborn as Tommy. He loves to eat (as you can tell).
