Snuggle Time

 

The first thing Lucas wants when he wakes up is to see his brother. Here they are sharing some adorable snuggle time.

 Lucas even made sure Boden got to try out his FAVORITE monkey blanket. Bitter sweet because it is NASTY. That blanket has seen more places than I have - I'm sure of it.

 ...and yes - often times Lucas sleeps in his whitey tighteys.

 ...and nothing's quite like a good sibling bath. with poop.

Lucas is always willing to help out and loves to take care of his baby "brudder".

Happy Halloween!

We looked forward to this holiday for 9 months! I would tell Lucas that after we have Halloween, the baby will come. We have talked pirate talk for months, we even found a parrot that Lucas named "olly" as opposed to the classic "polly". Unfortunately, once Halloween came, this pirate wanted no part of it. Here is my unhappy Pirate:

 Once he got to the party, he had fun. He went with Daddy and cousins and ended up having a blast.

On the day of Halloween, we had our first big outing. (All because we ran out of milk.) We ventured off to Fred Meyer - just the three of us. It was quite a production. Normally, we're out the door no later than 9am. This was more like 11 once I got Boden fed, dressed and happy. I'm getting better now. :) 

 Both boys trying to flee the scene...

 I hadn't planned on having Boden around yet, so we borrowed an adorable pumpkin costume from Tammy. (Ethan wore this one when he was a newbie) Thanks, Tammy! She always comes to the rescue with adorable costumes to share!

Lucas made the rounds with Daddy while Boden and I stayed cozy by the fire with the Grandparents. 

Happy Halloween!
