October Fun

Warning: LOADS of pictures to look at in this post!

Our trip to the Pumpkin Patch started out fun...
with Drew examining a gourd...



The boys looking cute behind the pumpkin cutouts...

Jakob and Joshy racing on John Deere tractors...

self-portraits are the best!

Jakob was a good big brother as he made sure Drew didn't fall out...
...but after this ride, all 3 boys were screaming and crying...
TIME TO GO HOME!

Just a random snapshot of our cute little Drewbie!
Fun times making BATS at Sister Kerr's house...


She even gave us yummy spider-snacks...

...and bloody monster eye-ball punch!

She is the Hostess with the Mostess!

all the little kiddos

who wants a kool-aid smile when you can have a bloody smile? ha ha!

trunk-or-treating was fun...even though you'd
never guess it by the look on joshy's face!

It didn't take long for Drew to grasp the concept...

Here's a happier Luigi and Dragon Drew!

Pumpkin carving...messy, but SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Drew's 2nd Birthday Party... mmm, Monster Toes!!!

...and Ghoulish Grins!

I didn't have time to carve a big number "2" in this
pumpkin...thank goodness for sharpies!

I had been singing "happy birthday" to him all week long...
so he LOVED it when everyone started singing to him!
All the young Hanson cousins...

He put these in and said, "Mwahh, haa, haah, haa!" CLASSIC moment!

All of us who aren't afraid to have a little fun with costumes! (hint, hint...BRAD!)

The cutest little dragon butt I've ever seen!

October was also full of soccer games, a trip to Florida for my niece's wedding, lots of unpacking, fevers, trips to the ER for unexplained stomach problems (Joshy and Drew), homework, etc., etc.!

We hope all of you are having a fun fall!!!

a "don't cry; laugh" moment and why i want a shop vac

When we moved (end of September), I ended up staying up until 4 am cleaning our old place before we did the final walk-through. So, as you can imagine, I was exhausted the next day. (No, I did NOT get to sleep-in...I slept for 2 hrs and then was up getting Jakob ready for school...)

Anyway...so I was sitting at the computer checking emails/blogs/etc. and realized that Drew was being very quiet...and then realized he was in the kitchen. So I called to him..."Drewbie? What are you doing?" He came around the corner and I noticed he had some mysterious white stuff on his face... I admit, my first reaction was anger, I mean, seriously, that LAST thing I wanted to do was clean anything else...and then when he said HE was "cleaning" I got worried...what if that "white stuff" was some kind of detergent or something??? Then I peeked around the corner and saw a bag of flour on the floor and knew I had to grab my camera!

So...here is a quick documentary of that "funny" moment...how could I ever be mad at that adorable little face? I just love him so much and can't believe he'll be TWO next week!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy... (p.s. i'm hating blogger right now...so my pictures are small and the quality looks crappy but i don't care i am not re-doing this!!!!)














I think this is his version of a snow angel...only with flour...on my kitchen floor!!!!!!

LA Traffic: NOT COOL

Not only were the people behind me ticked off because of the traffic, but I went ahead and whipped out my camera to document the fun traffic while at a dead stop. But then didn't notice when the cars ahead of me started moving. SORRY people! :) It was a fun 2 hour drive home from a photo job. I am SO grateful that I don't have to commute to LA for work...and that Brad doesn't either!!! What a nightmare!
