If You Don't Have Pockets

Two flashlights, two toy guns, a walkie talkie, and one Owen

Toy Story

Woody and Owen

Halloween

The boys trick-or-treated for over an hour and a half this year. They had so much candy in their buckets they gave up carrying them because they were too heavy. I got stuck carrying them. I kept asking the boys if they were ready to go home yet but Owen informed me that you are supposed to trick-or-treat until it is dark, "That's how it's done, mommy."

In our town, trick-or-treating is done the night before Halloween because on Halloween night they host a parade downtown. Halloween morning, I found Owen outside taking down the lights and decorations. I asked him what he was doing. He said, "I'm helping you mommy. Halloween is over." I explained to him that it was Halloween and I wanted to turn on the lights one last time that night. Later that night Owen asked to go trick-or-treating. I told him that he went the night before and he said, "But Mommy, you said it was Halloween."

Another Use for Toothpicks

Tonight for fun the boys decided cut toothpicks with butter knives.

Name Change

The boys have decided to change their names. Owen now wants to be called Spencer. Jay wants to be known as Coolis.

Good Cop Bad Cop

What happens when a grandma buys two four year olds a policeman's play set complete with guns, whistles, badges and handcuffs? Their mother finds them in the middle of the street trying to direct traffic.

Wake Up and Smell the Sunscreen

I woke up Sunday to the smell of sunscreen. I asked the boys what they were doing. Owen told me they were playing tag and the bottle of sunscreen was empty.
