oh, parker

We ventured out to McDonald's yesterday. I think it was the second time since Mataya joined our family so the boys were SO excited. Well, we were eating and it was busy with kids running about. Parker spilled his drink on the floor and an employee came over and moped it up and put a 'wet floor' sign down.
At some point other children were playing with the sign and one little girl was dragging it around. A boy, about 5, took it up the little stairs and into the play area. Parker promptly went up to the boy and said, "Where are your parents? You aren't supposed to have this up here!" And he took the sign from the boy and put it back in it's proper place.
I'm dying laughing at this point. I couldn't wait to tell Cory when he got home. That was our quote of the day, "Where are your parents?"......Love it!

sugar.

apples, carmel, white chocolate, butterfinger, peanuts, and milk chocolate='s heaven on a stick. We had a sweet f.h.e....(literally)!

trick or treat

Little bumblebee!

The Halloween fun with G.G! Parker is the white ninja from G.I. Joe....Spencer finally put his costume on once Tommy a.k.a. Spiderman got there. And Lexi the chicken.....too cute! Lexi had to come and see who her mom was holding. Just wanted to make sure the little bee didn't pose any sort of threat:) Taking a break from the running around to get a photo.This was how the boys went trick or treating door to door.....RUNNING! Cory carved this Halloween morning. It looked awesome! We had a fun Halloween....now we need to get to eating that candy!

halloween fun

Every year we go trick or treating at Cory's office and have lunch with him. The kids love it and they even had a spook alley this year which was way cool and Spencer, of course, was terrified. That's my boy!

Little bumblebee! We went to Parker's school and watched the Halloween parade and dressed up Spenc and Mataya yesterday.

Coming home from Cory's office today, the boys were digging into their candy. Spencer had me open a couple of things and then he hands me a little bag of atomic fire bombs. I told him it was too spicy and he insisted on trying it anyways. There is no point in arguing with a 3 year old....you really get no where. So Parker and I looked at each other and then at Spencer as he attempted to eat a fire ball and he tried for a good 10 seconds, his face was priceless. He tried chewing it really fast hoping the spiciness would fade, but it didn't and he had to spit the remains back into the little bag of heat. Don't say I didn't warn you Spencer boy!

rice cereal..take 1

The time is upon us...the beginning of new chapter.....baby food! Here's how it went:

"Dad, why are you documenting this? And for the love of all that is good and decent what is Mom trying to make me eat?" "Oh, no she's getting more!" "Okay, I'll be a good sport and pretend to like this. I know how Mom likes a good photo op.""I can't pretend, this is awful!"

Hopefully Mataya doesn't share Spencer's enthusiasm for food...maybe 'rice cereal take 2' will bring better results. Those "Lexi" arms aren't going to grow themselves!

friends at the park with doughnuts.

We went to one of our favorite parks with some friends last week. We went and got some awesome doughnuts before, it was a great afternoon.Parker made a friend while we were there. He and this girl were on the tire swing for a long time. Her mom called her over and told her it was time to go and she came back over and in the sweetest voice said to Parker, "bye Parker." It was so cute. He later said that she was his girlfriend.

Spencer and Logan. It was a little squishy in the swing. These boys are getting big!

Having a little chat.

Mataya hung out in the shade of her flower for the afternoon:-)
