The Great Pumpkin

We've been religiously watching Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin every night before bed.  That's thanks to the luxury of a DVD.   Theo really enjoys watching it for about 10 minutes and then he's off to destroy the house.  Here he is stacking some blocks on the toy that my friend Michelle gave him for his birthday.  

Theo's new kick is "all done".  Everything is "all done".  He takes two sips of his milk and he's "all done".  He hands me the cup, whines to get it back and we repeat the process.  I must say that he is so cute saying "all done" that I don't mind, the first hundred times at least.  I counted that he says about 10 words these days.  He won't sign at all so he is the complete opposite of his big brother.  And still no walking.  Crawling Robin it is.

Painting with friends

Today we went to my friend Jennifer's house to paint pumpkins.  I brought two miniature pumpkins for Theo.  Too bad all he wanted to do was crawl around the garage.  Then his woman showed up and he was happy.  Still crabby, but happy.

Crabby

Theo must be teething or something because his disposition matches the design on his sweater these days.  The weather dipped down to the 40's last night and this morning so I busted out the glubs that Aunt Liz sent the boys.  I got Jack a special Spiderman set for school since they play outside several times a day.  Theo didn't know what to make of the glubs and got frustrated that he couldn't suck his thumb.  He managed to hold his sippy cup though!  Sorry the pictures are blurry........... our house is really dark and the flash makes things washed out.

Take 2

Theo was playing with some of the leftover pumpkins from our party a few weeks ago this weekend.  I thought "Great!  Let's try for a cute pumpkin patch picture since he's over his pumpkin fear!!".  Well, hold that thought.  He freaked out at the sight of the pumpkins again.  Go figure.  I guess he only likes them on his terms.  Skunk.

Superheroes

Jack has an enormous amount of superheroes.    We dread when he takes them out to play because there are seriously about a hundred of them.  Today was a rare day.  Jack let his brother play with the superheroes and Theo helped out by putting them back in the box!!

Carving a pumpkin

Jack and his daddy carved a pumpkin this afternoon.  We normally don't carve until the day before Halloween since they rot so fast in the fine October heat here......... but Dave is going to Canada tomorrow and will miss Halloween :(   We took off Jack's shirt so he didn't completely mess it up.  

Cedarwood party

It's been a very busy day.  We celebrated Halloween with Jack's class this afternoon.  One of the moms dressed up as a witch and the kids loved it.  Theo gorged on some cheeto puffs and was perfectly content to watch all of the kids run around.  One of the moms made a cute craft for all of the kids from tin cans.  We had a great time and immediately headed over to my Mom's groups' trunk or treat.......
