Fun and Pumpkin Carving

Just picked Jake up from school and he is all excited to go trick or treating tonight.  He can hardly wait.  Actually both boys are currently holding their buckets and AJ keeps saying trick  or treat over and over and over.  :)  Jake was all bubbly on the way home from school talking about the spiders, bats and pumpkins they learned about this week, making Halloween cupcakes today, and "when are we going trick or treating again?"  :)  Its a fun day.  So I was hoping to get this blog up so I can hopefully get some dressed up pictures up later.  Here is hoping AJ is excited to get dressed up...the jury is still out on that one.  :)  But here is some fun until then.

Just like big brother.  :)  My littlest superhero



I know I have had a lot of sleeping AJ pictures lately but he is just so darned cute with his baby in his big boy bed.  :)

 Look out crazy driver.  :)  This was taken last Saturday.  Jake was out on a special Jake and Daddy Day (Jake had wanted some special time with his Daddy) and so I got some special time with AJ...therefore the pictures.  :)



 

"Aren't I cute?"

The Day also included an ice cream cone from Braums.  Yummmm.

AJ loved his Birthday Cake flavored ice cream, in fact he ate every but of it.  :)

It was also a rainy day so when Jake and Daddy came home we hung out inside and played with Lincoln Logs...it was a good day.  :)

Then a couple nights ago we carved out pumpkins.  Jake was so excited as they have been learning about Pumpkins and Jack-O-Lanterns at school and he was so excited to "cut open the pumpkin, scoop it out, and carve the triangle eyes, nose and happy face mouth and then its a Jack-O-Lantern."  Yes we heard this many times.  :D

This was the first year that AJ really got to take part in it, he was excited too. :)

AJ and I worked on his together

 He was very curious about the pen

We held the pen together and drew on his face for mommy to cut out.

After I cut it out he did a very good job of cleaning the pumpkins face.  :D

Jake also helped with his pumpkin.  He drew its face on a piece of paper and then Ryan transferred it onto the pumpkin.  Jake loved watching every piece come out.

The Lighting.  AJ is very proud to show off his.

 The two pumpkins together.  AJ's is on the left and Jake's is on the right.

AJ had a lot of fun drawing on the face...so he had to draw another face on the back of his pumpkin...and this one he did all by himself.  :)

Jake's alter ego...Iron Man.  :)  No this is not what he is for Halloween this year, but last night he started going to AWANA again at another church and it happened to be a dress up night.  So we saved his costume for this year and let him wear this one that we had gotten at a consignment store as a dress up play item.  (the boys love dressing up as super heroes if you have not noticed already).   He also LOVED going to AWANA again.  :)

This was actually taken this morning.  Jake wanted to draw a scary face for Halloween and then of course wanted a picture of it.  In this picture he is actually saying "Grrrrrrr."  :)  Happy Halloween everyone!!
