The Knights of the Backyard

Thankfully our castle doesn't come under attack very often!



This last one was taken outside Connor's classroom this morning before the school Halloween parade.

Here were today's Halloween costumes. Connor will be a knight tomorrow for sure, but Sean always keeps us guessing.

New Robes

Every morning the boys get up and drink a cold chocolate milk. Lately they have been freezing and wanting to cuddle at the breakfast table. They don't care much for hot chocolate, so the other solution they accepted was ROBES!
Here is Sean this morning (notice the box of chocolate milk on the table) smiling and telling me how "cozy" he feels!

Here is Connor dawning his new blue robe and matching slippers. You can see the black and orange striped pjs underneath for Halloween. Sean has matching red slippers, but I didn't manage to get a picture of him with the slippers showing.

The brothers snuggling in the big chair...

Sean's World: Halloween Edition

This morning Sean said, "Mom, next time I want to be a domino for Halloween."
I asked, "What would your wear?"
Sean replied (as if this were obvious), "I would just put on a rubberband!"

More From Sean's World

Sean wants to decorate our house for Halloween with 'A adocado man"
It took us a while to figure out what an "avocado" man is, but we now know it is a green faced monster man.

The World According to Sean

Yesterday Sean declared, "Bed, Bath, and Beyond is for mommies, not for daddies."
I think Daddy would agree with that.

Tinkertoys with Grammy

Grammy helped the boys build a "working elevator" during her recent visit.

Golf Driving Range

We took the boys to hit a bucket of golf balls the other morning. Connor was reluctant at first, but said, "It was great!" by the end. Sean loved every minute of it!

Fall Swimming Lessons

The boys have been in some evening swimming lessons this fall... burrrrr!


Beach Day

We had a heat wave recently, so we went a little ways north to a nice overcast beach to cool off!
