Halloween 2005

Cameron and I helped Daddy decorate for Halloween tonight. As you can see, our new spooky tree took center stage.



It's a bit harder to see the spookiness in this picture. We hung little ghosts in the tree and we had a blow up pumpkin with a cat on top by the garage.



Here was my pumpkin. It had a scary face and it was spooky.



Here is Cameron's pumpkin. It was a happy, smily guy.



Here is Mommy and Daddy's pumpkin. It is a barn and a silo with lots of little stars around it.



Here I am with my baby brother. As you already knew, he was a lion and I was Sheriff Woody from Toy Story. We had a fun time trick or treating with Daddy and our neighbor Tabi! We went to 28 houses and filled our candy sacks!

Love,
Ben

18 Months!

I turned 18 months old a few days ago. Here is a picture of me with Max the Bunny. As you can see, I am bigger than him now.

Cameron

MOM's Club Halloween Party

The Maple Grove MOM's Club had their Halloween party on Friday morning. It was my first halloween party ever, because I was sick last year and stayed home with Daddy. I went as a lion (from the 70s, with my beads on!).



My big brother went as Sheriff Woody, from Toy Story. I felt safe knowing that we had a sheriff there.

Peppermint Fence Pumpkin Parade

On Thursday, we had the Pumpkin Parade at school. We all paraded down into the auditorium and got up on stage to sing songs. This picture, while a bit dark, gives you some perspective on the chaos that reigned.



My Mommy, Daddy and baby brother came to the Pumpkin Parade. Here is Cameron in his Icky Cookbook t-shirt.

Ben

Leakers!

Both my baby brother and I overfilled our night time diaper / pull-up and leaked, so we each had new PJ bottoms on with our old PJ tops.



Cameron and I didn't think it was a big deal, so we read the newspaper.

Ben

Mowing the Lawn

Tonight I helped Daddy mow the lawn.



My brother scooped rocks with his shovel and pail.



Ben also took this picture of this late blooming lily. It's pretty, eh?

Cameron

Mommy's Birthday

Today is Mommy's birthday. We had her open her presents over breakfast today.



Here is Cameron, shown modeling Mommy's breast cancer awareness bracelet and reviewing a new J. Jill catalog.

Batman Returns

Many of you might remember me as Batman.



Well, I am proud to introduce my baby brother Cameron as "Batman Pt 2."

Ben

Mommy's Special Birthday Dinner

Tonight, we had a special birthday dinner for Mommy. We had lobsters flown in from Maine. Cameron and I both got to wear the bibs that came with the lobsters. Here is a picture of me eating one of the shrimps that came in the package also.



Here is one of the lobsters that we eventually ate.



Daddy tried to get Cameron to pet it, but he was too afraid (so was I).



Here is Mommy about to enjoy her special birthday dinner.

A Sneak Peek at My School Pictures for This Year

Here's a sneak peak of the outfit I wore for my school photos. I had my pictures yesterday, so we'll know how they turned out in a few weeks.

A Photo With Mommy

Mommy was saying that we never have any good photos of her with us two boys. Well, this one isn't very good, as you can see her bruised cheek from her wisdom teeth removal, but at least it's a picture of the three of us.

Love,
Ben and Cameron

A Nice Day

It was nice outside the other day, so we played outside. Here I am trying to fill up on of my squirt guns.



And here is my baby brother, standing around.



Here he is taking the wagon for a walk by himself. He got going very fast down the driveway.



I decided to take my little wagon for a walk with him.

Ben

Getting Ready for Halloween

We started to get ready for Halloween around here, so I put my batty sweatshirt on and had Daddy put a new battery in the spooky little flashlight.

Love,
Cameron

Apple Projects / Oct 6 School Projects

These are my school projects from Thursday, October 6th (the same day that Mommy got her wisdom teeth out). We had an apple theme and I did a lot of projects. Love, Ben

PJ Hijinks

Mommy went to Baby Gap the other day and got Ben and I matching PJs. This is the best picture that Daddy could get of both of us.



At first, I turned my head away in a giggle fit.



Then I turned my nose up at Daddy.



My brother Ben was a ball of laughter on the floor.



Especially when I laid down on him...

Cameron

Farm Scenes

Here are some other scenes from the farm that we thought you might enjoy.

New Farm Kittens

There was a new batch of kittens on the farm. I liked to pick the really little ones up, because they were just my size.



Here is their Mommy.



Here they are playing in the trees.

Chores on the Farm

I helped Uncle Jayson with chores today. We fed the cows. These cows got to eat sileage.



And then we honked the horn on the tractor a lot for my baby brother.



Here are some of the cows that we fed hay.



And here is a big angry cow that made a funny face at Cameron and Daddy.

Love,
Ben
