Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween from our family to yours!  We hope that you too had a spooky night of trick or treating!

Pumpkin Carving

Cooper and Daddy were in charge of carving the pumpkins this year.  Daddy went outside, brought one in and said here you go.  Cooper said "No way they stink!"  "You do it"  So they argued awhile on this and Cooper finally won...well sort of.  Daddy took the top of and did the scraping of the inside.

Then Cooper had to get the guts out in order for Daddy to carve the face onto it.  He did it but at an arms length away!

 












Little by little he got a little braver...

Until finally the sweatshirt came off and he got into getting the guts out!

The inside smell of a pumpkin has never been his favorite!

Who ME?

We just got home from work, and like usual, Brewer was not too happy with us because we were not going for a walk right then and there.  So he went into the living room, to what we thought anyways, to play.  We knew we were wrong when we heard an "oh, oh!" from Cooper followed by a "MOM...DAD...I didn't do it...BREWER DID!"
















Brewer found the bottle of fish food and decided to feed the fish the whole bottle of food.  It looked like a snow globe of fish food when we got into the living room!

And we were wondering what we were going to be doing this evening!!!!  Daddy had fish tank duty!

Brewer's Boo-Boo

Last Friday night, we were getting ready to go to Family Night at Pleasant Prairie School, and the boys were up on our bed.  Brewer decided to look over the edge and fell landing right on his head.  Here is a picture of his bump...this picture does not do it justice.  It is about a half dollar in diameter and about 1/2 inch high.  Then on top of his bump, he got another bump when he "attack"ed his brother landing on the same spot.  And then again on Saturday morning, Brewer and Cooper were running in circles when one switched directions and the two collided once again....in the same spot.  Really, we do watch these two!!!

Family Hayride

We went over to the tree farm on 85th Street, where they have been advertising Carmel Apples and hayrides.  For something different, we gave them a try.  We had a great hayride out into their tree farm, which went all the way out to Hwy 165.  Grandma and Grandpa Beck came along, and they took this family picture of us...thank you! 

PS.  The Carmel Apples are to die for...yummy!

Brewer went to see Dr. Gerlach on Friday for his two year check up.  He weighed in at 28 pounds and is 35 inches tall.  Dr. Gerlach was impressed with his speech and his overall growth.  She said that his height growth has tapered off, but his weight is continuing to grow.  After he had two shots, she said he doesn't need to come back until next year...like that will happen!

Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?

I see a two year old smiling at me! Today was Brewer's Birthday Party! Grandma Maria, Grandpa and Nana, Grandma and Grandpa, Great Grandma Rognstad, Papa and Gg, Auntie Sue and Nicole stopped by to help us celebrate Brewer's birthday! We had all of the colors of Brown Bears friends and animals of all sorts around for us to see.

Our Birthday cake was an amazing 3D Brown Bear and he was just as yummy to eat! Thank you Ms. Kim!

Brewer got some awesome gifts...a ride on four-wheeler, a bath toy, color book and crayon, a couple of outfits, books, and a bounce house! Life can not get any better for this two year old! Happy Birthday Brew!
