Catching Up- Benton

Caught red handed. Must have been thirsty.Benton, making his daddy proud.Benton pooped in his skinnies and his punishment was having to wear a diaper like a baby. He was extremely upset about it and was crying hysterically. Tab was reassuring him that he was a good boy and that he just needed to poop in the toilet. I love how Tab is down on one knee, mimicking what he sees dad do.
Just being silly. He set up all of his stuff on the couch and just sat there with his arms folded, for about 15 minutes. I'm not sure what was going on.
Being a good stinking brother. He was feeding Paisley some of his yogurt or applesauce, I can't remember.
Trying desperately to be tough.This is the part where I am the absolute worst mom in the entire world. So Benton's Birthday was oh, you know, in AUGUST and I am just throwing it in here now, mashed in with everything else. Sigh, sorry buddy.

He informed me that he wanted a pirate/transformers cake. So this is what he got. Except the cake was rice crispies because we were headed out camping the next morning and that way we could bring the leftovers with us. (The Autobot is made out of fruit roll up.)The presents: A pirate boot and loot.Thomas jacket and rain boots.A pirate hook that I crocheted for him.
Because Jason thought I needed to model it for him.
The sweet Birthday boy.

Catching Up- Paisley

Oye Vey! I am so far behind that I may never catch up. But here is my pathetic attempt. Here is a quick picture recap of some funny and cute things Paisley has been doing.

She is always lugging a baby around.
Has the cutest stinking smile.
Is just all around silly.
Is ALL girl
But doesn't have a problem playing with her big brother's fire trucks.
It was a stinking hot summer (crazy to think as it is snowing as we speak.). Paisley would regularly scoot around and sit her butt right on top of the air conditioning vents so she could cool off.
Trying to occupy her as we play ouside.
We got our baby swing out when we were watching a friends baby and Paisley rediscovered it.
She learned how to open the fridge, ugg.
She found an old binky and the thought it was fun to play with.
Just trying to be a pirate like my big brothers.
Being goofy with dad.
She LOVES the mulch at the park.
Daddy is the baby charmer, as always.
Trying to slurp up the lasts of daddy's soda.
Playing with her balloon flower.
Sporting some shades.

Halloween Fun!

For the first time ever our entire family dressed up for Halloween. We had a lot of fun with it. I spent way way way too much time making costumes and loved every last single second of it.

Tab and Benton were pirates.Paisley was a pirate's wench.You can see her black eye shadow and red lipstick a bit better in this picture. For the record, she loved having the make-up put on. I'm a little scared....Jason and I dressed up as a pirate and wench as well.The wench's out trick or treating.Trick or Treating fun. The boys were a bit lazy when it came to walking between houses.We started out our festivities,by carving our pumpkins.
Tab actually did a great job cutting.Benton hated pulling the seeds and stuff out.Paisley wanted to help.Benton loved helping to cut also.Outside with their pumpkins.
