Owen's parenting lesson

Once in a while Owen will take on the role of parent. Here is his latest lesson on hitting.
(And for the record...mommy doesn't hit...don't know where that came from!?)

A Charlie Attack

Charlie's hair occasionally fits his personality. And I think this video captures it well. There's no stopping him!

A sippy cup dilemma...

While unloading the dishwasher, Owen said he wanted to put Charlie's sippy cup back together. "I can do it Mommy!"

I was just loving this running commentary. He might run out of words to say, but that doesn't mean he stops talking!

One afternoon

An afternoon of raking and playing in the leaves.

Checking out the leaves that were still left on the tree. Not too many!

The black dots on his nose were from getting into Mommy's pens earlier in the day.

I know there are a lot of these photos...but he was just being so cute.

Driving through the leaves...not so easy.

As you can see by Charlie's face, things were starting to get a little too rowdy for his liking.

Owen's "races." These videos seem like they were shot in slow motion because it was about the 14th time he had done this!

Halloween

Halloween 2010 started with pumpkin carving. With Daddy's design and Mommy's carving skills, we created some pretty good jack o' lanterns!

After naptime Owen and Charlie opened a special Halloween surprise from Nana and Pop pop. Some special treats to have for snack. Very creative Nana & Pop pop!

Then it was off to our friends' house to trick or treat with the gang. BB & Grandpa were here visiting, so they joined us. We let them come even though they didn't have a costume. ;-)

Our annual attempt at a group photo. I wasn't able to catch all of these little buggers at the same time!

Missing Levi, Caleb, & Hailey....but these are the kiddos.

And they're off...

Charlie opted to ride in style.

All lined up, waiting for candy. So cute.

Time to go home. What a fun night!
