A Change of mind and A Great Find

For Halloween, Cameron was set on being a football player. We had found a costume and even tried it on numerous times just for fun. He was all about tackling, falling for the ball and wearing the helmet. When I was looking for Haiden's costume I stumbled across a cape and hat for a wizard costume. We got it out for fun and enjoyed playing wizard around the house. We tried the costume on Haiden and he hated it for the whole 2 minutes I was able to keep it on him. SO.....Halloween night rolled around and we were getting ready to head out the door and Cameron decided he wanted to be a wizard instead. Ugh! So his costume this year was a quick grab whatever I can out of the closet. And for Haiden, I found a great costume for this year and next for $5! And he loved it which made it even better.

Getting ready to head out with cousins Will and Ellie.

Haiden being the typical cheeser while Cameron looks at everything BUT the camera! His costume was seriously not fun....but he liked it and he still got candy so in his world he was great!

Cameron helping brother pick out just the right candy...ha!
Haiden did great all night and did manage to walk most of the time. He caught on so quickly to just keep going from house to house he didn't even stop to try to eat his loot! He was not shy at all to go up to the house and wait for the treats and even got a his own version of "trick or treat"! His brother and cousin Will sprinted to the houses as if the faster they went the more houses would magically appear(hey, Cameron was a Wizard ;))

Ha! Big stuff all in his monkey suit. The banana did the trick for him to enjoy having the costume on ;)

Can you tell which one has the genuine smile?! Funny boys!

Rough

There are some moments where Haiden just has it rough. At least that's the way he sees it in his little world. Sometimes his brother can look at him wrong and he breaks down crying mad at him and especially when Cameron tells him no can he turn on the tears! One morning at breakfast(and I honestly can't say I remember what morning it was with my memory at the moment) Haiden had it rough! So to make matter worse Cameron got the camera out to relish in his brother's tears and give him all the more reason to cry. Poor thing.

It all started out fine with a nice donut treat. Then it things started to fall apart.


A little upset, but not too bad. Yet.
(notice the tray--he loves to break things apart in little pieces and create a total mess)
(and also notice mommy and daddy in the background leaving these 2 alone for the moment!)


Bedhead, drool, tears and brother taking a picture. Right over the edge.

Getting it together. Maybe he looked down and still saw his donut ;)

Cameron was the photographer for these beauties. Precious brown eyes!

Happy Hikers

As most people this weekend, we spent much of it outdoors just enjoying being together, playing and not rushing around. Sunday night we headed to a park with Tor's mom and dad for a picnic and a hike. Haiden did SO great and walked almost all the way. He had on these little hiking boots and strutted his stuff taking these big steps and swinging his arms back and forth very big boy like. It was so funny. Of course Cameron was in his glory just being outside and being free to go as he pleased. Here are some pictures from our adventure!

He's got the swing going on!

I can walk myself, Mommy.

Actually wanted me to take his picture and he has a genuine smile!

Found a fun tree to climb and hide in.

Funny boys...but they sure are cute!

It just wouldn't be a complete hike if we didn't take time to play in the leaves. Haiden was all about putting them in a pile but then as soon as we tried to stick him in to take a picture he was not so excited. He also doesn't like to walk in the grass bare foot. Silly boy. Cameron wanted to bring the leaves home and tried to take them in the van with us!

Brothers

These two boys capture my heart each and every day...
