Since we're voting, let's take another poll.
What's more embarrassing?

This little (not yet 2 year old) walks around the house half the day whining;
"Geo Bot, mom. Geo Bot"
characters from his favorite tv show Team Umizoomi

OR

That Sawyer calls Honey Nut Cheerios
"Yellow Fruit Loops"

Welcome To Suburbia

Halloween was stupendous.
Our street was amazing.
There was a home that had at least 75 things on their lawn that screamed, moved, jumped out.
We actually had trick-or-treaters.
Oliver and Sawyer

Again, that baseball costume was my uniform as a kid. Sniffle.

We hit a pumpkin patch.
Not only for a pumpkin, but a hay ride, saw animals, bounce house, the works. 
S had his hand on E's leg the whole ride.
I kinda thought it was the sweetest thing.

We carved pumpkins.
Sawyer loved taking out their guts.
It was a little too gross for Ollie. 
They sure did love lighting them up.

Ward Carnival...amazing 
 Um they kinda didn't mention there were 3 photos.

Gym carnival complete with a very spooky haunted house.

I was there with girnormous lips baby!
Speaking of BABY this guy is 2 in a couple of months!!!

And of course, E was on-call for the weekend.
How sad is that?
Poor guy.

We did all go trick-or-treating together in the end.
And ate candy together.
That counts.
