Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!

soaking wet!

Well, it was a fun and busy day with a birthday party for one of Rachel's friends and then trick or treating. Trent and I stayed home this year since the weather was so dreary and he had already been such a good sport at the party. Nick, Papa and Nana went trick or treating with Bradley and Rachel while me, Trent, Pop and Gege stayed home. Gege was kind enough to make awesome homemade vegetable soup with gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. They were SO YUMMY!!!! Rachel and Bradley had fun even though poor Rachel got drenched in her little "southren belle" costume (as she calls it). Bradley decided he no longer wanted to be a dinosaur so he resorted to a fireman. (A huge thanks to cousin Carter for all his hand-me-downs, since the fireman's raincoat was one of them!!!!) Trent carried on the tradition of the first "boy" costume being "Super Baby" just like his big brother Bradley. Everyone had a great day and now we're on to the next holidays!!

Pumpkin Carvin'

Last week, we realized that we hadn't bought or carved our pumpkins for Halloween! So, I took the kids to Sam's and bought 2 large pumpkins and we had a blast carving them. As usual, Nick and I both carved one...you can decide whose is better. :) It was quite chilly outside and since Bradley had a bad cold and Trent's so little, it was probably our quickest carving to date. But, it's a fun family tradition and maybe we'll be more prepared next year, buy 5 pumpkins, one for each member of the family, and make some different faces.

Brothers

The boys are so cute together and really seem to enjoy being together. I can't wait to get them in the same room! Bradley decided he wanted to hold Trent one evening right before bed and it seemed to cheer him up since he was extremely tired and cranky and not much fun to be around. Thank you, Trent, for being the one who helps Bradley get out of his grumpy mood! I love my boys!

(By the way, Bradley is wearing some of Carter's old pj's and Trent is wearing the tye-dyed onesie that Sophia made him.)
