October 2011

October was a busy month! We enjoyed a nice visit from Mimi & Granddad and did lots of fun fall/Halloween things. Daniel continued in his swimming lessons and Daniel & Colin are both enjoying school (Mother's Day Out). Here are some more pictures from this month - enjoy!

Colin & Daniel with Mimi

Colin Eating Banana Pudding

Granddad Sharing His Ice Cream with the Boys

Granddad got himself some ice cream for dessert. As soon as he sat down, Colin came over begging for some. Of course, then Daniel wanted some too. I’m not sure Granddad got to eat very much of it!

Colin Scarecrow – On the Wall at School

Daniel and Colin with the Big Red Ball Outside Target

The boys love these balls. Every time we go to Target, Colin says “Ball! Ball! Ball!” Decided to get a couple of photos with them. :)

He wanted me to help him make the pipe cleaner into a neck strap to keep the “hat” on and then to take a picture.

Fall Harvest Cake

I decorated this cake for the October Officers’ Spouses Club social.

Daniel with stickers he got at the store

Colin Putting Trix Cereal in His Ear

While we were at Daniel’s swimming lessons, Colin was eating a snack of Trix cereal. He started trying to put it in his ear and thought it was the best game.

Beautiful Smile

Success!

Halloween Decorations

Mimi sent the boys some foam Halloween cut-outs and stickers. I let the boys put the stickers on the foam shapes. Daniel wanted to cover the entire surface of his spider with the stickers.

Colin was more interested in sticking them behind his ear – the ear thing again!

Daniel in the Bucket

While shopping at Walmart Daniel wanted to ride inside the bucket with the lid on it. It worked out pretty well except Colin kept trying to take off the lid!
