Precious Moments

One of those moments when your heart gets all warm and fuzzy just looking at your boys playing. Precious moments.



















Jacob had this brilliant idea of what to do with his Halloween Candy. Decorating left-over cupcakes from his end of season soccer party. Cool for three reasons: (1) Jacob thinks these extra treats are way cool and (2) it helped empty his Halloween pumpkin and (3) the cupcakes have been left untouched on the counter for 3 days!


Jacob is learning about stop lights at pre-school. Therefore, I am constantly being instructed by my four year old to "STOP" Red Light. "Go" Green Light. and "Caution" Yellow Light (not slow, I was informed). And I thought it was hard to get things done with two little boys before this fun game began. Smiles.






Ta!


Moving on to Karate.

Jacob and his little best buddies Kenny and Von are loving karate. The instructor is simply

amazing as he keeps a class of 30 students of all ages and skill levels engaged and moving for an entire hour. It is exhausting just watching. Since Jacob will never be a giant (sorry buddy, it is all in the genes) a little self defense and self confidence can not hurt :)

Jacob's Favorite Day of the Entire Year

HALLOWEEN of Course

(my little sweet tooth)!
















































We had such a fun Halloween day and evening with friends. Jacob was in all of his glory. James was a trooper. Only 363 more days until Halloween. Although Jacob was trying to speed-up that countdown yesterday by knocking the leaves off of the Oak Trees at the park (when all of the leaves are gone it means it is Halloween... my stalling tactic each year when he starts asking in July when Halloween will be here). Too cute.
