Logan finally gets to cook!

Logan was so excited the other day that he got to help in the kitchen. I have had Jacob in the kitchen with me for a long time. Since it was just him, he was very easy to have as my little helper. Often times now, we will save that activity for when Logan is asleep or I will hold him or Logan will just play at our feet or who am I kidding? He will cry the whole time I am trying to have that time with Jacob. Jacob loves helping in the kitchen.

The other day when it was time to make homemade muffins, Jacob got on his stool & Logan disappeared for a second. He soon rounded the corner with another stool, parked it at the counter & climbed up. This was his face when he grabbed the measuring spoon & turned to look at me. He was thrilled to be at the counter with brother, ready to help!

Jacob keeping his hands out of the bowl

Jacob was a little unsure about sharing his activity & who wouldn't be concerned about a toddler with his hands in the bowl, we have talked a lot about germs around here after all!?

All in all, Jacob enjoyed cooking with his brother & the muffins turned out pretty good too!

Dear DFACS,

Dear DFACS,

Please don't take this little man away.

I know that he has a fresh scab & bruise over his right eyelid. That is from his little stumble

down the 2 or 3 garage stairs.

I also know he has a bruise & some slight swelling over his left cheek.

That is from falling flat on his face, don't worry it was on nice soft carpet.

This new road rash on his forehead is from a little spill while we played this afternoon.

He is the least graceful,

clumsiest,

walking too fast,

gets in over his head,

doesn't think before he does anything,

afraid of very little,

curious,

does everything full throttle,

100 % boy,

stubborn,

busiest

little boy

I have

ever

seen

in my

whole life!

Yes, DFACS, we do appreciate your concern. We realize it looks a little suspicious.

But spend 2 hours with him & you will drop your case!

Brothers

This was in March when I first got these shirts.....

This was the other day (October 2009).....

Jacob is a lot taller & Logan has a lot more hair!

Happy Halloween!

Friday night we carved our pumpkin. Much different from last year since Logan was in a bouncey seat last year!

The boys digging in

Jacob actually enjoyed getting a little messy this time, last year: not so much!

Since Logan was ALL over the place like usual, he stepped into some pumpkin seeds & was border line hysterical about that!

Saturday we had a full, fun day!

We had our friends over for some soup before trick or treating. Jacob & Noah, I mean superman & the pilot getting ready to hit the streets

The ONLY picture of Jacob & Logan together (below)

Between the two of them, running out before it started raining again, meeting up with neighbors, leaving together but knowing one of us would be home with Logan within a few minutes, I only took 24 pictures. For anyone who has followed this blog for any time knows that 24 pictures of ANY event is NOTHING!

Lucas is the other child of our friends Jon & Carrie

Logan may have not understood the whole thing but he knew something fun was going on!

This is Jacob's face when we totally busted him. He didn't want to let Logan touch his candy but he wanted to empty out Logan's candy & inspect it (yes, it will go to him anyway but it was just the point!)

The babies watching other trick or treaters leave. They couldn't figure out why people kept coming to the door & we gave them something everytime!

A fun time! It is so fun to watch the kids from year to year. This was the first year that Jacob was pretty much the oldest in the crew. It was cute to watch him be the ringleader!

In the pictures where we are carving the pumpkin, that is the same shirt that Jacob wore when he was 19 months old. The fireman costume was the outfit Jacob wore for his 2nd b-day which was a firefighter party. They have both grown so much since last year! It was so special to watch things through their eyes. It certainly didn't hurt that GA Tech ended the night on such a positive note!

Happy fall! Hope everyone got to take advantage of their "extra" hour of sleep, what a great night for that!

Halloween Fun

We finally made it to the pumpkin patch. Jacob's class had been rained out once & other days of rain had kept us away. Besides a little leftover mud, it was a beautiful day.

This is Jacob with his buddies from school, L-R: Kerry, Hunter, Jacob & Ryan

Who knew that these goats had been fed already by other classes & fieldtrips, they acted like they were starving!

The kids enjoyed seeing the animals

This was Logan's face pretty much the whole time we were there. He wants to be 4 and run around with his brother. I won't go into the poop disaster on the blog but let's just say we had all kinds of fun!

Lunchtime

They got to pick out their own pumpkins

Logan wants to once again be a part of the class

Trying to get a picture of the boys together

Trying once again when we got home, thought maybe being allowed to bring the bat into the picture may work

We have had a fun week getting ready for fall & halloween. We had a fun fall festival at church last weekend. There are no pictures because someone forgot the camera, that person will remain nameless but he knows who he is.

Happy Halloween!

BED HEAD!

BED HEAD!!!

End of season

The look on Jacob's face sums it up. He loved playing soccer this season! We also got a kick out of watching 4 year olds run around.

He enjoyed playing goalie several times.

He always had a fan club on the side & he loved that too!

Until next season.....
