Halloween 2015

Mommy, Josh, and Derek had fun decorating the glass windows in preparation for Halloween!

Mommy tried her hand at Josh's favorite -- Pluto!

His love for Mickey continues.

Admiring all of the work.

In the meantime, Benji is all fun, giggles, and smiles when he wakes from naptime:

peek-a-boo

They're so sweet together!

Uncle Sam came for a visit!

Reading with the boys.

Benji reads to Uncle Sam!

Aunt Shana and Uncle Brian got this gift for Derek -- all we can say is payback, baby, payback!

Josh tries his hand face at it.

He's cute, even when he's a mess.

Uncle Sam helps the boys with their new circuits kit.

Aunt Susie comes over for some snuggles.

This guy just climbed into bed and snuggled up between Mommy and Daddy.

Alex leads the kiddos over to the NB Homecoming Football game.

One of Mommy's students gives the boys his
beads, his cowbell, and more --- so sweet!

Benji cheers for the Eagles!

The next day, Mommy went back with all of her boys to see the alumni Soccer Match.  She got to see students from years ago!  It was SO fun!!  Benji also got to spend time with the newest Amelchenko.  Brady is too cute!

Another party, another piece of cake!

These days are just tooooo busy for one little guy!

Bubby, Uncle Sam, Grandma, and Cherry took the boys to Bedner's Farm for some pre-halloween fun!  Pumpkins, corn maze, and more!!

This gives three peas in a pod a whole new meaning!

 

 

 

                                       

Some pumpkins in the pumpkin patch.

So, Bubby took these boys into a corn maze -- and they found their way out by following a guy that worked at the farm, that was leading a group of school kids --- after an hour of being lost!

 

In fact, Derek has been journaling at school and wrote about his experience a few days after:

Derek's Self-Portrait (looking in a mirror)

Derek's Self-Portrait (off of memory)

"Racecar"

"Garden"

"Bedner's Market"

Grandma decided the boys didn't have enough fun, and needed to make their own slime!

 

End of the day --- nothing like bathing with a tomato.

Okay, Okay --- finally the day has arrived!  It's HALLOWEEN!!!  Trick or Treat?!



Going through some of Grandma's old costume creations --- isn't this one cute?!!

Bender's had some silly looking pumpkins (some even had little "noses" on them -- so we worked them into our carvings)!

Derek drew this one and Mommy carved it for him.

Shadow display of "meow" for the Kitty Cat!

Getting ready for some trick or treating!

Another duck!

The force is strong with this one.

Josh is catboy from PJ Masks -- his favorite!

Another year, another cute duck.

This kid means business.

Thinks he's Eeyore and will lose his tail?

So much sugary goodness -- Derek teaches Benji the inner
secrets of choosing wisely.

The entourage.

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake, In the caldron boil and bake.

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Halloween 2015.
