Trick or Treat Day

You know, I always grew up not celebrating Halloween. We would go to our church's "Harvest Festival," play games and get candy and dress up as Bible characters. Nothing wrong with that I suppose, but if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, well, it's still Halloween, isn't it? So, if the church can make up things and recreate a holiday the way they want to celebrate it, then so can I. The boys love, I mean, L-O-V-E dressing up as super heroes. So, for this reason, we went to the Cheapo Depot (I kid you not, that's the name of the store) and got last year's Halloween costume's for $5 each! Had a party/cookout with our neighbors and all went around the neighborhood together. To the boys, tonight was not Halloween, it was Trick or Treat day. A day of fun, candy, food, friends, fun costumes and our personal favorite tradition, ending the night with "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown." I know many Christians have very opposing views on this, and that's all good. But tonight, my boys got to bloss out in their favorite super hero costumes and mountains of candy with no knowledge whatsoever of the actual name of or meaning behind the holiday. Pictures now, for your viewing pleasure.

Logan's Birthday!

So, it was Logan's birthday today - 7 years old. We started the morning off with strawberry french toast - Logan's request. After church was a cook out with his friends next door, cake and presents. Mommy finally found him a killer little R/C car (see my review here and the review for the failed/returned present here). He's been outside all day making his new car do wheelies and flips and practicing his pogo skills. I think the 7 year old mind set has kicked in and he has really begun taking more risks, brushing off wipeouts and crying about things much less. I like this turn of events. Nest is Moise's birthday and a sincere attempt to make sure he doesn't get jipped just because his bday is 3 days before Xmas. Anyway - if you missed it, make sure to wish Logan a Happy Bday in the comments section!

Dancey Dance Time

.....courtesy of Wyclef Jean and Carnival!

A bit of a breakthrough

Cai and Moise have been pretty much at each other's throats since the day we got back to our house. Moise provokes and antagonizes and annoys the pee out of Cai and Cai, in return, gouges, bites and generally drops his 8 year old brother to his knees in a puddle of tears. One would think Moise would learn to stop doing things to make Cai angry, but no....

Anyway, Tom & Jerry break today and thisis what I found in the middle of the living room floor. Let's pray it lasts beyond the cartoon.

A few new pics

Just a few new pics for your viewing pleasure. The video below is of Logan messing around on the guitar. I only caught the tail end of it, but Phoenix thought it was HIGHlarious!

Is anyone cuter than Cai? I mean, really?
Mad because he couldn't play football. Check out the killer Spiderman kicks though!
This is my new favorite pic!
Logan doin what Logan does....

Phoenix has become very attached to Logan - I think he's his favorite. Everything Logan does is either hysterically funny or worthy of hugs and kisses!
