Lot's of loot.

The boys had so much fun. They were running in circles as I wrestled them in their PJs. A little too tired and too much sugar. We went to a neighbor's house for a pre-trick or treat party and then got candy on the walk home. It didn't take long for Mason to figure out what was going on. He was much bolder than Owen and occasionally tried to sneak in the houses. He enjoyed wearing his horse costume. Several people thought he was a girl, probably because of those pretty bangs :) Owen's costume came slowly off piece by piece.

One of our neighbors had extra special treats for Owen and Mason. Glo-sticks in the shape of swords, the kind you break and stay lite for a night. We don't get many trick or treaters on our circle so they all get excited to see the boys.

Owen wanted to make sure Mason understood his loot. So tired!!

Preschool Party

Owen's preschool class (Owen is the knight back row right)

The annual costume parade. I LOVE the difference between girls and boys costumes. I still feel guilty that he wants to be "bad" and that somewhere down the line we did something wrong. It made me feel good to see other boys with "fighting" themes. It justs so runs deep within them. Later, Owen asked why their were so many princesses. EJ helping Owen with his craft
My friend Kristin (her daughter is the bee) and I were the party moms today. This was her awesome spider snack.

This was the craft project I prepared. I did lots of cutting last night.

The kids enjoyed getting messy with glue. Here is Owen's version.

House of Rock

I bet you didn't know I am running a music school out of my house. These are my talented pupils. I have had a dreadful headache all day. I am sure this didn't help :)

2008 Champions

I have one very happy hubby!

No sleep... 'till Brooklyn

Yes, yours truly was at a Beastie Boys concert last night! Barn girls, I felt as if I was at a 625 party all over again. The fans were jumpin! I loved watching the huge grin on my husband's face. He enjoyed every minute of it. Apparently, while I was swooning for the New Kids on the Block (in Middles School) he was listening to the Beastie Boys. Fortunately my conservative ears couldn't understand a lot of the words. This was definitely not a family performance if you know what I mean ;) Thanks Dad for babysitting!
EJ and I (mostly EJ) have had a lot of late nights lately. I am feeling it this morning. I think I am moving at half speed. Fortunately Owen has school so I'll only be keeping up with Mason this morning. Between the PHILLIES and last nights concert we are going to need some serious naps soon. Hopefully the Phillies will end the World Series tonight with a big win at Citizen's Bank Park! Go Phillies!
