Pumpkins

I get so caught up in the day to day life of being a mother of three and a wife that sometimes I forget to sit back and actually pay attention to what's going on around me. Somewhat self-involved huh? Anyway- it's the end of October! Pumpkins are grown. Leaves are falling. And costumes have been readied.

The boys both decided to be pirates this year and have been parading around their pirate hats for about two weeks now. They wear them to breakfast. They wear them to play. And Ty even tried to sleep in his the other night. I didn't care- but it wouldn't stay on his head- so he had to sleep next to it. The boys now walk around saying "Arg" to anyone that will sit still long enough to listen.

Kate is going to be a cat this year and could really care less. She does not try and wear her costume around. And she seems less than impressed with all of her Halloween bows. Of course- she is only 4 months old... I'll take it in stride.

I was happy to get a few pictures of the kids in their Halloween gear though- Ryan has been such a pill lately with what he wears. What two year old cares what he wears? He isn't old enough to have an opinion. But there you have it- he refuses to wear anything with ghost on it. I didn't tell him that the "Boo" shirt shown here is semi-ghost-like.
