Last Friday, the kids and I headed up to Livingston to see my parent's new house. It's finally finished (it actually went very quickly as far as house building goes) and it's beautiful. Here is their view from the back porch.
We played outside a lot and Hannah needed to be contained. So, she got to sit on the driveway in her high chair.
Jacob loved riding his scooter up and down their long driveway.
Ever since they bought this lot, Jacob has been obsessed with this fish mailbox. It's not my parents, just someone on their road. He was very excited to take a picture with it.
They play hard and crash hard.
Ice cream cones! Jacob was over the picture taking at this point.
Game day! We watched the Aggie game (which Randy was at) while we were there.
That night, at home, they got to open their Halloween box of goodies from Debra and Craig.
He was (and still is) very excited about his water gun.
Hannah just liked shaking the tube of mini M&Ms.
Decorating pumpkin cookies with Momma.
Building a cookie spookie house with Daddy.
She helped, too!
The finished product. Ignore all of the orange icing on his mouth...quality control.
In his Halloween box from Debra & Craig, were new Halloween plates, bowls and cups. He was so excited to eat off of them.
On Tuesday, they were supposed to dress as a nursery rhyme character with a (very) simple costume. He was little boy blue with his horn. He really thought he was going to dress up more and was unimpressed when I put this blue shirt on him, but he did love the parade at school.
Someone took some pictures of Hannah doing a "crawling challenge" at Little Gym.
She still does her own "crawling challenges" at home and gets stuck.
Thursday was Donuts with Dad at Jacob's school. He was very excited.
Hannah, on the other hand, woke up with a fever. She was pretty miserable and sickly all day. (By the way, I took this by flipping the camera around like I did on the Ferris wheel pictures before and have no idea why it then turns them sideways. It looks normal on my end, until the blog posts).
But, when it was time to dress up, she was a little better. She was Giggles, the clown.
But didn't like the glasses and clown nose.
Jacob was also supposed to be a clown, but his outfit was a little tight which lead to a BIG meltdown. Needless to say, I was glad we made it out of the house even if he was a vampire superhero in a Mickey Mouse shirt.
The best of many shots of both of them.
Running up to houses with Daddy.
Hannah and I just waited in the street.
He ended up having a blast.
And got a lot of candy.
Hannah was even willing to test it out for him.
