Halloween and other things

I'm at the beginning of my winter break, the boys have one more week until theirs starts and the baby is napping. Let's see if I can catch up a little on everything that's been happening.

First, because it's what I titled the post, Halloween!

I thought that I got better pictures of the boys' costumes but I can't find them. This year Richard was in charge and decided to take them to our local thrift and dollar stores to create something (other than just buying it straight out). Nathan was a pirate and Josh a Musketeer (you have to picture Josh with a hat, sword, cape, and mask. He actually looked more like Zoro but he didn't know who that was). They were even more helpful with their pumpkins this year and both cleaned them out almost all by themselves. (I had a pumpkin for Rosie but ran out of time and didn't carve it. I ended up saving it and used it to make a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving)

This little girl is becoming a little handful. She crawls and cruises around the house and likes to get into everything. She is also developing a taste for cat food. Good source of protein, right?

It's hard to tell from this photo but the boys were pushing Rosie around in this toy and having a great time until she tried to stand up and fell out. I am glad that both Nathan and Joshua love being older brothers to their baby sister. They love her so much and she just adores them. We have a lot of fun around the house when they are all playing together.

And here is the classic baby eating spagetti picture. Hope it puts a smile on your face. It always works for me.
