Starting Rice Cereal

The boys are now getting to eat rice cereal from a SPOON!!! Of course I am pretty sure that most of it ended up on their bib this first time.

What a face...
What a mess we made!

Halloween

Aiden and Blake were Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Dr Seuss's Cat in the Hat for Halloween. The tolerated the outfits well, especially the wigs (I made them, so please no comments). Here the boys are getting ready for the evening- to make the rounds to visit some family and friends.

Our first stop was Crystal City to see Great-Grammy, Great Aunt Donna, Great Uncle Gary, Kat, Dan, Darren, Cindy, Brendan and Chase.

Here are the boys with their Great Grammy- Blake above and Aiden below

Blake is just hanging out...

After out trip to Crystal City, we headed to Grandpa and Grandma Byrne's. Blake was a little tired at this point and a bit crabby so he stayed inside and fell asleep. Meanwhile, Aiden was outside partying it up with everyone else!

After a long and busy night, the boys were ready for Bed...

Crystal City Football

Jason, Aiden, Blake and I made a trip down to Crystal City to watch Dan, our cousin, play in his last home football game. Of course it was quite chilly that night, so we had to bundle up the boys.

Dan is #28

Here the boys are getting ready at Great-Grammy's house.

"We are ready to head to the game!"

Well, Aiden and Blake did not last very long watching the game (only the first few minutes)

Aiden

Blake

This past Saturday, Grandma and Grandpa Byrne got dressed up for Halloween for one of the soccer leagues they are involved in. So that afternoon, they stopped by to show Aiden and Blake their costumes.

Grandma was dressed as a pumpkin.

Grandpa was dressed up as Shrek...the boys weren't sure what to think.

Pumpkin Carving

After getting home from Eckerts, we had a big pot of chili and Jeni made apple crisp for desert. Once Aiden and Blake went to bed, Jason, Brian and Phil were on a mission to find patterns to carve the pumpkins.

Chase helped clean out the pumpkins, but decided it was too gooey to pick out the seeds so he had to use a spoon.
The finished product.
