October Fun

It's been quite a while since we've updated the blog with pictures of the boys...this is an attempt to rectify that.

Wow!  A photo with both boys actually smiling at the camera at the same time...do you know how hard that is to do with 2 toddlers?

Doesn't Lars look like a big kid?  What's next, first day of kindergarten...first day of college?  Sheesh!

October became the month of playgrounds...we've been scoping them out all over the city.

Lars played so hard this day that he started falling down when walking around to the stairs from the bottom of the slide.  Yep, they slept well that night!

The tube slide was a big hit...though I had a hard time convincing Lars to go down feet first.

Odin at the bottom of the slide...we're working on the boys walking around to the ladder and not trying to crawl back up the slide.  

Another playground to try out

This playground didn't have a toddler size big toy, so Mama and Papa did a lot of climbing up too.  It's good exercise for all of us.

This is our local park...Odin's boots kept falling off so I just let him go barefoot

I LOVE the park Mama!

Digging in the sand is SO much fun!

Odin ended up doing a face plant into the wood chips at another playground by our house and scraped up his upper lip.

Happy Lars in the morning

The pygmy goats at the pumpkin patch we visited with our PEPS friends

Getting a ride to the pumpkin patch

Lars says...I'll take this one!

Handsome Lars

Mama, I'll take this one!  Says Odin

The cup filled with chicken feed turned out to be the best part of the pumpkin patch

Carving pumpkins!

Hey, this little pumpkin fits into the big pumpkin!

Odin was a big help cleaning out the pumpkin!

So was Lars!

Happy pumpkin carvers

The final product.  Do you see the similarity between Odin's monster shirt and the jack-o-lantern?

The final product with Papa

This is what it is really like getting family pictures!

Vikings pillaged the pediatrician's office on Halloween.  (yes the costumes are recycled from last year...the hats actually fit this year and didn't need to be stuffed with tissue paper)

Lars is working on the right fierce look worthy of a Viking

What did we do to get this stiff photo of both boys?

Papa and his Vikings before heading out to trick-or-treat

There's the proper Viking scowl Lars!

Odin...you look far too happy for a fierce Viking!

First ever trick-or-treating at our next door neighbor's house.  The boys got Halloween stickers!
