Halloween and Cow Farm.

Pumpkin Carving Fun! I know the kids are all making strange faces, but how cute are my boys and how handsome is my husband?

Irby drew the design...he wanted it to have a tounge like a lizard.

Thing 1 (Charlie), Yoda, Thing 2(Griffin). Due to Irby's recent obsession with Star Wars, light sabers, and jedi knights (although he hasn't seen the movie), he wanted to be Yoda for Halloween. Yoda is the good guy, I hear.

Thing 1 and Thing 2 got more comments, it was pretty fun. Most were really sweet, but the strangest comment I got was from another lady with twins; she asked which was older. I told her Thing 1, and she was SO appalled that I was disclosing to them which was older. She said she would not tell her kids until they were 18. Am I missing something or is that strange?

Charlie. And that is his real hair. I tried wigs, but have you even tried to get a 2 year old to wear a blue wig?

Charlie in front, Griffin in background. Just trying to show off their hair. I used blue hairspray and it was incredible (and thankfully it did wash out!)

Before bath.

Blue bathwater! Yes I let my kids eat suckers in bath. I felt so bad we had to take away about 95% of their candy so I let them eat suckers and Nerds all night.

Yesterday afternoon we went to a dairy farm to see some cows, chickens, pigs and just run around in the country. We have a milk/egg/meat delivery and they open their farm to visitors in the afternoons. It was so amazing bc it was just us and our 2 other families that we went out there with. It was especially fun because I was thinking it might be kind of lame, but the kids and adults absolutely LOVED it. Irby loves the country. He cried when we left and said he wanted to live with the cows in the country. We got to see cows being milked, grazing in the pasture, feed calves their bottles, see 1 day old piglets, and just run run run the the fields. Here is Irby bottle feeding a 2 day old calf!

Don't think I have 1 picture in 2 years of all of them smiling or even looking at the camera for that matter. (Fin-L, Charlie-R--if you can't tell it's Charlie just notice his tell-tale smile/grimace. It's starting to be a trend in pictures).
