"Vegetable of the the Trees"

Yesterday we went to the Festivle of the Trees at the south town expo center. Brandon kept calling it the "vegetable of the trees" so now that is what we all call it. Anyways, they had some amazing trees and we took pictures of some of our favorites. After we walked across the street and had lunch at the Mayan. Overall a very fun day!

Christmas Trains

One of Kevin's family traditions is every year at Christmas time we get together and make Christmas trains. We use candy bars for the train and decorate with every kind of candy you could imagine. We are together will our cousins and lots and lots of sugar...what fun! This year Brandon was very much into decorating his train. He did the whole thing by himself and it took him about an hour. Isaac, on the other hand, took 5 minutes and then all he wanted to do was eat the candy.

Goodbye Pumpkin

So yesterday, Halloween is over and I decided that the pumpkins are ready to be thrown away (plus it's garbage day). I told Brandon to get his pumpkin and throw it away and for some reason he was really attatched to this pumpkin. He started to cry! He said that he loved his pumpkin so much and didn't want to throw it away. He proceeded to sit on the front step and cry. I tried to explain that pumpkins don't last forever and we can get a new one next year...eventually he hesitantly threw his pumpkin away. Isaac on the other hand want to destroy his and cut it up into tiny little pieces ( a little bit dark for a three year old) Anyway, after we got the pumpkins thrown away I came back inside to find Brandon in his room writing a note to his pumpkin. He asked me if he spelled it right. GBie (good bye) Pcin (pumpkin). I said close enough...it was so cute he had written a note for his long lost pumpkin all by himself, sounding out the letters and everything.

Halloween 2007

This was a fun halloween for us...in our new house, our new neighborhood and the kids old enough to really get what trick-or-treating was all about. We had a church trunk or treat that the kids really enjoyed and got lots of candy ( I alrealy picked out all my favorites...they will never know)! Isaac was Yoda, whom he thinks he is even without the cute costume (thanks Jenn). Brandon was a Dragon Ninja...I think thats what it is called....all he said was that he wanted to be something scary, not cute like mom suggested, so I think he looks pretty scary for a five year old.
