Happy Fall Y'all!

Dominic was being very "photo" cooperative today. Doesn't he look so BIG in this picture. Hard to believe my baby boy is nearly 5 years old!

Luke thought he needed to have these mums in front of his eyes today. I was never quick enough to snap a picture without them there.

The boys named the girly scarecrow "Anna". They said that is because their "Nanna" gave it to them. Nanna is their babysitter.
As you can see in this picture, the boys are in front of one the giant pumpkins from our newphew's pumpkin patch.

I just had to get some shots of the boys with our gorgeous mums. Luckily the early frost didn't so too much damage.

We had a great time visiting our nephew, Nathan's, pumpkin patch. Nathan has a knack for growing very large and round pumpkins. Dominic wanted this HUGE one - we placed it close to the house in hopes it doesn't get stolen before Halloween.

The boys also decided on costumes. They were both going to be something we already had - but I "allowed" them down the Halloween aisle in Walmart the other day (FYI - BIG parenting mistake!). So now Dominic is going to be MegaTron (the boss of the mean transformers) and Luke is going to be Optimus Prime (the boss of the nice transformers). They are both super excited and have been wearing the costumes often.

Salvaged Cake

Luke and I decided to try to salvage the body of the dinosaur cake. We turned it into the Cat in the Hat - Hat. At least it somewhat resembles something now!

Shampoo Do's!

The boys love to see what kind of silly hair styles we can come up with in the bath tub. They were both impressed with all the spikes and mohawk on this particular night.

Very SAD Practice cake!

Ok - I quit trying before it was done because it was already looking beyond help! Mark said he wanted a RED dino which I warned him that it would look pink. So here is the very sad looking, half done, pink dino. I think it looks like a very pathetic hippo! I decided not to even waste my time and effort on the tail! A professional cake decorator I am NOT!

Attempting Practice Cake!

Dominic's 5th b-day is less than one month away. Not only can I not believe that my baby is turning 5, but he has requested a "scary, t-rex" birthday cake! Since Mark's birthday is Monday, I am working on the "practice" cake this weekend. I will post pictures when it is done - yes, even if it turns out bad!

It's DONE!

I've been "secretly" working on an anniversary DVD for Mark. It is finally finished and it turned out great. I hope he is just as excited to get it as I am to give it - probably not, but I'm excited anyway! Our 10 year anniversary is this Friday!

Luke at the Zoo

Luke in the petting zoo with the goats. He wasn't too sure about the stinky, wet goats - neither was Mom!

Riding the Carousel - Luke chose the snake!

Luke was getting frustrated trying to climb on the spiderweb ropes. By the way - he picked the boots to wear for the day!

"You can't take my picture Mom!" He was trying to run behind the tree.
