AUGUST: My "baby's" first day of school. This is the face when I told him he got to go to school EVERYDAY! Is that excitment or fear? Brecon and I take Cael to school around 11:50 and he rides the bus home around 3:25. While Cael is off learning, Brecon takes his nap or we go shopping, depending on the day.
SEPTEMBER While Hurricane IKE struck the Houston area, the boys and I enjoy some good times with the Brown Family and one of our last times (with our season pass) to the ZOO. We also attended a special fireside with guest speaker Michael Ballum. Our sitters managed to put 2 one-year-olds asleep using the "tickle" method. Needless to say, we were impressed.
OCTOBER:What a FUN MONTH! To start it all off, we joined with our friends in celebrating CANADIAN THANKSGIVING! Seriously, it was awesome. We threw up Red and White streamers and balloons and sang 'O CANADA'. We just wanted our Canadian friend to feel the love, and a delicious dinner was enjoyed by all!
Then, throughout the month we really had fun making our front yard into a "graveyard" bits and pieces at a time. We think that next year skeletons and their parts need to be sticking out of the ground... it will totally add to the"spooky"effect. Ben was quite busy with the skill saw and the boys helped me with the paint. We added some plywood ghosts after these photos were taken. One of them reminds us of Slimer from Ghostbusters.... he's such a cutie.
THE FRONT
UP CLOSE and PERSONAL. Our buddies got a kick out of these ones, so did we!
Can't go wrong with a yeast joke and Brecon's Halloween Gator suit. Despite his attempts and frustrations to remove the head part, that baby stayed on!
*Cael's costume is not shown due to computer malfunction... alright, it's not uploaded yet* I'm a dork! He was the cutest PETER PAN (with a homemade costume) I've ever seen.
As I like to say, thanks for the memories! Here's to many more!

Such a fun update! Your yard looked awesome! Way to be as creative as ever! And Brecon's costume was completely adorable.
What fun!! I LOVED the head stones! Those were awesome! Umm, (nervous laugh) Josh threw the halloween stuff away. I THOUGHT he heard me tell him that you wanted it, but apparently not. Sorry about that. But I PROMISE that most of it was garbage anyway...just some bones and a freaky head that you might have wanted. SOrry sorry from the bottom of my heart. Please still love us!!!
Thanks for the good laugh first thing this morning. Those headstones were fabulous.
What a fun post! That is a great picture of you and Brecon.
Don't you think you should celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving every year? You can never go wrong with two turkey days.. Go Canada
Why is my underwear always showing? I had so much fun that night at your house. Thanks for being such great friends to us. My family loves yours a ton.
It's now a family tradition... or "dress rehearsal" for November :)
What a fun graveyard. I see you've got even better at making headstones since our haunted house last year! How are you and Cael liking the public preschool. I hope it is working out. Free is always good, right!
