Halloween!

This year my darling little dudes were members of the law!  Will is just totally into policemen these days and just is in awe of them!  He is constantly keeping an eye on our neighbors (who are police officers) and making sure they are arresting all the bad people and taking them to jail!  They are definately his heroes right now!  Anyway, we knew of course that Will wanted to be a police officer for Halloween since about May, so I found him a little costume and had his name put on it and he just thought that was way cool! 

He was all about the hand cuffs and wanted to arrest everyone he saw!

Including himself??

He had his own little whistle, cuffs, baton, cell phone, and badge!

I was just glad we got him out of it at the end of the night!  He has had this on like 12 times since it came in!   It was, "Mommy, can I please put on my police officer costume? Just for a little bit?"

Will decided that he wanted Ajay to be a state trooper.  And boy was that fitting!! With his little bald head and the belly hanging over he was just he CUTEST thing ever!!!  It fit him to a T!

Although I told them both that they were not allowed to be real police officer because it would make their Mommy not be able to sleep at night!

I think Ajay was a little afraid of getting arrested himself here!

In case you haven't noticed, all of Ajay's shots are action shots!! He is ALWAYS on the go these days!  He NEVER slows down or stops!!  He definately keeps me on my toes!

This was the only picture I actually got of them standing in the same frame together!  If you can tell, I bribed them to stay still with candy!  I know, I know, not the smartest thing to do, but at least I got my one picture of my two little police dudes together!! 

And of course, it would not be Halloween if I didn't humiliate Daisy, so here she is in her "Bad Dog" Criminal outfit!  She looks kind of happy here, but believe me, she was not impressed with her costume!! 

It was a GREAT Halloween!! We had tons of fun!  We drove the kids around to the grandparents houses and then were going to do a little neighborhood trick or treating, but both boys passed smooth out in the car on the way home, so we just headed to bed!  It was still a great night!

Pumpkins!

We finally got around to actually carving some of our Halloween pumpkins Halloween afternoon!  Will helped me draw on the faces and Nelson did the dirty work! I think he turned out pretty cute!

Then at night, we lit him up!  Pretty spooky!

This is Will's pumpkin that he got to draw a face on all by himself!  I think he did just an awesome job!

And of course, Ajay had to investigate and see what all the commotion was about!

And our family pic!

I am not sure why it is hard to get everyone to look the same direction these days, but. . .still a great time and good memories carving this years pumpkin!

March of Dimes

We had a team again this year for Durant's March of Dimes March for Babies Walk!  This is a cause that is very near and dear to us and we love to get our friends and family together with us and walk for this cause!

This year our little team raised over $600 to turn in for the March of Dimes!  We had a GREAT bake sale, sold t-shirts, and got a few donations too!  I think we did super!  I think though, our goal will be a solid $1000 next year!  Thank you to everyone who helped with the bake sale (Devin and her wonderful cakes!, Megan, and all the people who bought them!)  The total for Durant was $45,000!!!  We did a SUPER job this year and just totally blessed by having such a great family and friend support system in this community!

And thank you to our WONDERFUL Walkers!!  We can't thank you enough for coming out and walking with us!

This is just a few of our team, I don't know where the others had escaped too!

And here is Will standing by his March of Dime sign!  It was just way too cool to see him standing right there by that sign!  Such a little miracle he is!  The March of Dimes does do great things!!
