Foolish Little Boys

You never know what these two little monkeys may be doing from 1 minute to the next. Boy 1 and Boy 2 each got a dress-up costume at daycare for one of the kids birthdays a few weeks ago. Boy 2 got a tiger costume with mask, tail and bow tie. Though he doesn't really wear it, Boy 1 loves it prancing, climbing and meowing all around the house.

On Thanksgiving, Boy 2 wanted to help with anything he could, so he was handing me potato's from the bag so I could peel them and then sometimes taking the peeled ones and placing them back in the bag. As you can see he was particularly impressed with my use of a peeler. The next day we got some sleet that the boys were convinced was snow..........but that didn't keep them from using a lawn mower.

Halloween 2010 (Catch-Up)

We went and got our pumpkins from Rocky Ridge Orchards in Bowdoin. They have a big swing in the barn (this sounds like last year) and some decorations around the pumpkin yard that the boys liked. Though the real reason we get our pumpkins here rather than the hundreds of other roadside place is because the fresh donuts and pastries.

Prior to carving the pumpkins Boy 1 was very brash talking how he was going to clean the guts out of the pumpkin. Oh, the courage quickly disappeared. Boy 2 showed him up from the beginning just digging in that still didn't change the mind of Boy 1, he wasn't touching the guts.

Since probably mid-September Boy 1 said he wanted to be a race car driver. Funny thing we don't watch any racing. Well, other than Handy Manny's Big Race. His was an easy find, Carey found the costume in the Nascar store for $10.00 with free shipping and handling..............SCORE!! Boy 2 on the other hand was supposed to be Elmo, we thought no problem he loves Elmo. He would not put on that costume for anything. We had a fall back costume of Thomas the Train. Still, he would not put it on. Well that quickly changed when Aunt Darcy stopped by with treats and he saw Boy 1 got candy when he put his costume on and said "Trick or Treat"! He was in a skid to get the costume on from that point and we had not trouble the rest of the night.
