The Train Table

Benji's nice cousins brought him a train table a few weeks ago (now that Jeffrey and Andrew have outgrown it). A big hit! He loves to zoom the trains on the track, and especially loves the gates on the draw bridge. The funniest part is that he whispers "ch-ch-ch-choo" under his breath as he moves the around:

Catching Leaves

All the leaves are coming down off of the trees. Running after them at great speed has provided hours of fun in our yard. The raking...well that is another story.

Baby Sophia

The Lamy's came to visit us last weekend. Benji was absolutely obsessed with Sophia, now 5 months old. Every time she was down on her mat, he immediately tried to climb in with her (usually right on top of her). We think he was just curious, but maybe he was trying to smother the competition:

Halloween Crafts and Treats

Last Halloween post - I promise! (Lots more pics, but I will send them out via email).

We spent a lot of time getting ready for the holiday and building up the anticipation. Lots of fun craft projects last week, including jack-o-lanterns:






Painting pumpkins:




Creepy spiders:



And kitty faces:





Also lots of special treats, including pancakes:



Spider snacks:




Bones for breadsticks:




And candy corn pizza (looked better in person):




Hope your Halloween was spook-tacular, too!

Meet Jack

This year's Jack-o-Lantern. We made several others, but these two were are favorites.

Halloween!

Definitely feel like we are the slowest people in the world getting our Halloween pictures up. Lots more to come, but here is a preview of the kids in their costumes. Benji wasn't much for the headpiece on his Cute L'il Devil outfit, but I managed to snap this one picture of him wearing it:

Happy Birthday Grandpa Steve!
