fall + leaves = some pretty cute photo ops

I often forget that all kids really need is to be outside, with their mom (and her camera)...add a leaf pile and a dog and you have some pretty great fall memories...




gotta rake it up for brother...


Joshua was a bit more unsure...



and I don't even know what's going on here...
Eventually Sabre will learn that Robert is an asset rather than an annoyance:)


Happy end of Fall:)

my two firemen

Halloween isn't a huge holiday in our house, but we do love a good chance to dress up..especially Robert, so trick-or-treating we went.  Robert chose to be a fireman, and Joshua chose to be a fireman at the last second when Daddy decided that he needed a costume also (Mommy was content for him to just stroller-it, but apparently that wasn't fun enough:)

In typical psycho fashion, I chose to start Joshua's costume at 9pm the night before, sewing him some orange pants to go with his orange raincoat to complete the matching fireman look...adding some yellow duct tape and a fireman logo on his "future wahoo" baseball cap...

If that weren't enough, obviously my boys needed fire extinguishers to carry around...spray painted pepsi bottle and black hosing=fire extinguisher:)

Enjoy the photos, I think that they are pretty darn cute.


Joshua was a bit unsure of what to do with his prop and his candy bucket:


He preferred to walk around with Robert's fireman hat on, unable to see,  because it's brothers and he wanted it:


Sadly, I only got one shot with them in the same frame...speaks volumes to our lives around here...i take what I can get:)


I'm busy making my way through Robert's Halloween candy, trying not to make the rapidly depleting stash too apparent.
