Sweet M&Ms

I know they don't look overly happy but trust me the boys loved Halloween. We call the boys M&M sometimes and so when I mentioned to Mitch making M&M costumes he got so excited. He wanted to be a green M&M because that is his favorite color but I finally convinced him green was not the best color if you want to be an M&M and blue was his next choice. Monte didn't really express an opinion so I gave him red. I think it looked good on him. I think I could have done a little better making the costumes but, I am still learning.

We also had fun with Cousin Charlie at the pumpkin patch riding on the little (very little) train and picking out pumpkins. Monte was very deliberate about which pumpkin he wanted. He went straight for a small, cream colored, left leaning pumpkin. He wanted to hold it back to the car but, he kept dropping it so we had to hold him and the pumpkin. Mitch picked a green pumpkin so we did not have a traditional orange pumpkin this year.

Another first for Monte was his first lollipop shown here with Charlie. It is an adorable picture I must say but, the sticky slobber all over Monte's cheeks, hands, and cloths were not as adorable.

What a Big Boy! Mitch turns three.

On October 16th Mitch turned 3 yrs old. He requested a Train party, so we had did or best. We had family and a few friends over to celebrate. I tried to make cakes in bread pans so they would look like train cars. Mitch was convinced. I hope he will always be so easy to please.
I can't believe what a big boy he is becoming. He keeps impressing us with his loving nature, intelligence and sense of humor.
by the way, how do you all like the large knife we left in reach of kids, oops, well, no one got hurt.
