Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! 

Does this remind you of anyone?  (Here is Zev, five years ago...)

We went trick or treating for the first time ever in our own neighborhood. We tried to get a better picture of all three boys, but it just ended up worse.  Poor Isaac was not so happy about having his picture made. 

Zev was really excited about having his nose painted.   

He also insisted that he needed a mustache.

The big bad wolf was too excited to stand still. 

 Zev told everyone we met that he was a big bad wolf, and Tahl kept telling them that he was one of the three little piggies! Then he would tell them about kitty cat.  

This was my favorite one.

Zev had a hard time waiting for the rest of us. 

Tahl insisted that "kitty cat was nervous about Halloween and need him to hug her."  He has been telling me that she was coming trick or treating for a week or two. 

Just a wolf at rest. 

It was really nice to already be home and eating candy at 7:15. 

Each boy got to pick out a few pieces.  They were so excited.

(Ari and I might have had a few pieces too...)

I'm already imagining next year with three boys to chase after.  I can't wait!

Here are some pictures from the week.  

This is sweet Tahli eating broccoli dipped in nutella. 

He ate his whole apple, but still had nutella left, so he just went for it with the broccoli.  It was too funny. 

Mr. Isaac gets to spend lots of time in waiting rooms. 

Here he is playing on floor while waiting for Zevi. 

He gets lots of tummy time in because he just rolls right over every time I put him on his back. 

Just a little fat leg close up.

I taught Zev about balloon hair static this week. He loved it so much that he took his balloon to "show and share." 

For the first time ever, Isaac fell asleep somewhere that wasn't in my arms/his bed/swing.  He just randomly fell asleep on the couch. 

Zev and I walked the the pharmacy this week while Ari was with the other boys.  He insisted on wearing his "driving goggles."  He is the silliest. He is also wearing his new red tennis shoes that he picked out. (Thanks Buby!)

We have one fun Halloween house. Thanks GG! 

Here is Tahl at his play group Halloween party.  I wouldn't let him be a piggy, so I wouldn't have to wash it, but he was very happy to be Simba. 

The last big news of the week is that Isaac has learned to go to sleep from being put in bed awake! It was a long week, but he has mastered it, and I couldn't be happier.  Hooray for Izzy! 

Weekend of Halloween fun!

 This weekend the boys went to a trunk or treat at the church where I go to MOPS.  They were very excited to give their costumes a test run and get some candy.

The first one dressed was this little piggie. 

 How cute is this pair?  It's the "Big Bad Wolf" and one of the "Little Piggies." 

 

 On a side note, I warned these two that it was going to be 90 degrees, but they refused to change their costumes. 

The big bad wolf started to eat the little piggie!

Tahl kept telling me that instead of saying "trick or treat" he was planning to tell people to give him candy before the big bad wolf ate him... 

We had to wake the other little piggie up from his nap to go. 

 He was not his usual smiley self. 

He does look like a little piggie though. 

Sweet big brother checking on his baby pig. 

Tahl was really excited to match Isaac. 

 Look at the wolf with his little paws.  He cracks me up. 

It's hard to get a picture of all three! 

 These were the best ones I got. 

 Zev asked for one of just him and Isaac. He sure does love that baby.

(On a side note, someone asked Zev this week his favorite thing about his baby brother, and he said, "When he is naked.  Naked babies are the cutest."  Ha. 

Practicing his big growl. 

Here they are trunk or treating.  You can tell that it's really hot! Right after this Zev took off his costume and just wore the hat and feet. 

The big bad wolf beat the little piggie in a sack race. 

They both got a prize though. 

On Sunday we got to carve pumpkins. 

Zev was so excited to finally be big enough that I let him use the little knife. 

Even Izzy got to watch. 

 Ari was working on Tahl's pumpkin.  He wanted it scary with rectangle eyes and a scary mouth. 

 Zev loved digging out the seeds. 

Tahl wasn't quite as into it.  It's less fun when you can't use the knife. 

 Here are the boys' finished pumpkins!  Tahl's scary guy. 

This is Zev's pumpkin.  He drew the design on himself and helped to cut it.  He is supposed to be a very scary guy.
