Happy Halloween

O.k. they didn't turn out like last year but they are still kinda cute! I made Red Velvet Cupcakes, but I didn't have enough red food coloring for them to be true red velvet but I needed to also save some red for the veins.. but they turned out a brownish, red kind of like blood so that was o.k. but the frosting didn't work like it should have, the only butter I had was spreadable and I'm sure that's why it didn't fluff. It's best to use fluffy frosting. Then I used upside down chocolate chips for the pupils. I worked with what I had so maybe they are better than last year, eh?!?

Another Sleepy Video

So I know I already have a video of Adam falling asleep... but apparently he doesn't need to be in his rocking chair for it to happen!


I was making cupcakes for today and then while they were in the oven I started to make Adam lunch since it was noon. I decided half way through I would check on the boys... Gabe had been sleeping in the swing. Adam was watching Sesame Street and he usually just sits and watches... but he does get bored every once in a while.. so I looked and here he was... I grabbed the camera to share. Then I put the camera down and looked back and this is what he had done.

Trunk or Treat

The ward held it at the local elementary school parking lot. Adam had so much fun!! He just wanted to run around so poor Kyle chased after him all night while I had Gabe. Every once in a while all of a sudden there's Adam with no Kyle. So I say "Where's Daddy?" as he runs by.. then a minute later here comes Kyle running after him... People from the ward kept stopping him and asking him questions. The ward served hot dogs and pasta salad and banana cream pie/cake which was pretty good... not that Adam would eat any of it... so he ended up having animal crackers for dinner.. (should've thought to bring a PB&J) but he fell asleep earlier than normal and didn't eat lunch until he woke up at 3:15. So I wasn't feeling tooo bad. Then they had the kids go through and get the candy from the trunks. Some people went all out on the decorating.. I should've gotten pictures!!

And here is Adam's First Halloween stash! Not to bad for a 2 year old! (last year we only went to a couple houses by our friends house and we didn't give him any candy, not that he is going to get much this time either.. but there are a few things we will let him have and we gave out gummy stuff so he can have a few of those..)

So Gabe won Best Halloween Costume!! (I'm not sure if they had age groups or what... the person just walked by during the "trick or treat" part and handed out buttons.. and it was sprinkling all night so my hair.. well lets just say.. it's bad enough with just the humidity here, then you add rain... not so pretty!

Gabe's costume is a little snug and he didn't last to long in it.. I thought this bib was cute!! ( I also received some Halloween onsies that are cute but they are 3-6 months and are just slightly too small... oh well!!


I thought Koa's costume was pretty cool!! I hope he got a button!!

Adam ran himself around so much he actually was asleep by 9:15 tonight!! Yea!! Except I stayed up to post this... but I'm hoping to be in bed by 10 which hasn't happened for a while!!

Bed Time!

I thought the boys looked cute in their blue pajamas!! And there are the sunglasses again!!

Funny

So after the beach yesterday Adam wanted to wear his sunglasses in the house... he took them off when he ate lunch... Later that night around 7:30 or so he saw them and wanted to wear them again so I let him... He wore them until it was time to go to bed at 9. He use to go to bed earlier.. but now that he has a big boy bed... It's lucky if he is asleep by 9:30... average is about 10, 10:15.. he has also not gone to sleep until 11:15 one night... which is soo crazy!! I am used to going to bed between 8 and 9 because that was when Kyle would go to bed to be able to get up at 2 or 3 to go to work.. so some days I definitely miss Adam being in a crib... oh well... back to the sunglasses.. so he wore them for a while last night then first thing this morning he wanted the sunglasses and wore them until breakfast... I don't know if that's a bad thing and I shouldn't let him wear them cuz it will affect his sight.. but he likes the fact he can bounce on the couch and they stay on... and my house is so dark now with the different lamp and new ceiling fans that don't give much light and then to put sunglasses on... hmmm... anyways.. I thought it was kinda funny of him...


So a couple funny things he is doing right now:
So he loves puzzles and the other day he brought me the fruit puzzle and he would say "hmmm..." while putting his finger on his throat... he does it before he picks up each fruit and then says ""Yea!!" when he picks a fruit... it is really funny... I think that one time with the fruit puzzle he had his hand covering a fruit when he asked me what it was and I put my finger to my face and said "ummm.. Oh a pear." or whatever it was and it caught on.. He also has started to say "oh a ___." when I ask him what things are. Example.. his letters "What is it?" "oh a B." or "a D." Which he didn't do before.
The other night I was rocking him to sleep, which sometimes helps him go to sleep sooner...and all of a sudden he said "Dad." (which he still calls me, every once in a while he will say mom or mama) and I said "Yes?" and he looked up to me and said "shhhhhhhhhhhh" with his finger to his mouth. (Even though I wasn't saying anything... maybe i was breathing loud... I don't know) So I said "o.k."
He has started to say Pau (said pow) when he is done eating which is finished in hawaiian. Cute.

And more but I need to go take care of a couple kids...

beach boys

We went to the army beach that's about a 5 minute drive from our house... It usually has really small waves there.. good for kids.. Adam had so much fun he didn't want to leave.. wait.. he never wants to leave when we go to the beach! So here is a bunch of pictures of us having fun in the sun.(I think I got a couple really good shots for having to hold Gabe while taking some of them)








So here is Adam and kyle walking on the beach so you can hear the waves but you can also hear the life guard talking in the background... he kept talking.. i think i might have some of his or whoever he was taking to, personal information on some of my videos... oops!!



And here is a little video of two of the little crabs I saw. If you look really close you can see a second crab dart out of the hole the first one is going to.
