Almost turkey time....

Love....

Crayons

Lately, the boys have been really into drawing and it is so much fun
to see what their imaginations come up with.

 

For example Chase's bear with antlers.

 

A sweet love note for Mama : )

and of course Rainbow, our family's elephant.

About a year ago, I tried out this tutorial from The Pleated Poppy and made Chase this crayon role for the car.  He has never really played with it too much until lately and now he LOVES it.  He has added a bunch more crayons so he will have plenty of color options and he stays very busy on all of our road trips.  Now I need to make Max one too.

Chase's Fire Truck

This one came from the collaborative efforts of Daddy & Chase and was
to me while I was in Romania via Skype. 

Not be be left out, this guy is quite the artist as well.  He enjoys coloring on paper, but he also specializes in body art.  You should have seen the work he did on his legs the other night following his bath.  Priceless!

Happy Halloween!

This year we celebrated Halloween big time.  We put up some funky fun decorations, carved some sweet pumpkins and even made some sticky green slime just for fun.

Chase decided to keep with his birthday theme and rocked the Batman costume, while Max decided that costumes just aren't his thing, at least not yet.  After three or four attempts at different levels of costume coverage, it became clear, that Max was happy just being himself and who can blame him with that cute little mug. 

Seriously....

What are we feeding this guy?!?  Look how much he has grown in the
past year, specifcially in the past seven months....Crazy!
