It's Almost Turkey Time

Halloween has come and gone, much to the disappointment of the boys. Both Benjamin and Ethan really enjoyed getting dressed up (once they were in their costumes!). We has yucky weather for part of Halloween so the boys only went to a few houses but they loved looking at their loot. (There was no counting to see who had more -- Evan and I always had to do this after we came home.) One we brought them home, they helped Brian pass out candy. Here they are as we were getting ready to go out trick or treating.

Benjamin loved his whiskers!

They boys had a Halloween party at school and the had a BIG audience - Brian and I went. And, Papaw and Gebee would not miss it -- they had fun watching the boys get candy and filling up on sugar!

Yes, that is chocolate on Ethan's face.

Benjamin and Ethan helped me to make their Halloween buckets.

I realize that it has been a while since the last post. Here is a run down of what we have been up to -- Benjamin is very aware that Thanksgiving is coming up and tells us everyday: "It's almost turkey time." Benjamin is also now pee peeing standing up -- "just like daddy, " he says. Ethan is cutting teeth like a mad man and is very verbal about it (he is doing a lot more crying and pointing to his mouth saying "boo boo"). Ethan is also saying more words (apple, pear, money, ball) and can point out most of his shapes and a few colors. Brian continues to travel with work and we all miss him when he is gone. And, I have been busy with a new addiction -- extreme couponing -- it is crazy how much money you can save by matching up coupons to sales. This week was my best week so far -- I spent $19 and got $156 worth of groceries. It does take a lot of time but I love the end result.
