Best Halloween Yet

Halloween was AWESOME this year.  Not only did both boys love trick-or-treating, but they loved passing out the candy at Nana’s house even more.  It was so cute to see them loading up other kid’s bags with treats.  Sweet.  Cute.  Fun.  Awesome.  Already looking forward to next year!  This mama is still smiling.

Now for the costumes…

Jak — in keeping with the Jak-themed costumes — was……JAK FROST.


Maguire had to have something that went with his big bro…well, in an opposite sorta way anyway.  Introducing MR. GOLDEN SUN. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

43 Months

Jakzen is 43 months old today — 5 months away from the big FOUR.  Right now, he’s upstairs, sound asleep.  Right now the house is quiet.  That will change in a few short hours.  Our days are never boring, that’s for sure.  Today Maguire was outside and I was calling him thru the window, trying to get him to come inside.  Jakzen came over, pushed me outta the way and said, “Mom, let me handle this.  I can do this because I’m a big bruzzer (brother).”  So he called Maguire, and Maguire came.  For him.  Not me.  And then he was so proud of himself.  Just one of the many ways he made me smile today.

He’s quickly leaving the toddler world behind and so super, crazy fast becoming a boy — a full-on likes-to-wrestle, loves-He-man, so-excited-to-try-new-things, busy, sweet, caring, goofy boy.  I love seeing things thru his eyes, and even more, I love how his pure enthusiasm for the littlest things forces me to slow down and enjoy ‘em right along with him.

Thumbs Up

This photo was taken when we were camping this summer.  There was a fire ban so we had to make our s’mores on the BBQ.

Jak didn’t mind.  In fact, he gave ‘em his full, whole-hearted approval.

Mom - Where there is a will there is a way! Good work Jakzen!October 2, 2011 - 1:29 pm

Bros

This is such a typical photo of our 2 dudes — they love each other, but they are also always *this close* to beating on each other.

T - Oh the beatings will continue and get worse and draw blood (that's always a fun one). But when they get along, it's so awesome isn't it?October 11, 2011 - 5:28 pm

Kara - Whether they are wrestling or stealing a quick snuggle, I'd still like to eat them up!!September 29, 2011 - 8:08 am

Mom - Yup, pretty innocent looking!September 28, 2011 - 9:16 pm

Lindsay - I'm noting how the grip Jakzen has on Maguire's neck could change at any moment ;) HeHeSeptember 28, 2011 - 9:00 pm
