october in pictures

my toothless girl. 

this boy...

these are the "school pictures" that i took for madeleine this year. i was a little later getting to them than i wanted, but beginning of october isn't too bad. 

 

jonathan wanted some, too:

and some sibling shots: 

 randy turned 31:

madeleine dressed up like this and had me take a picture: 

then she took off her mask and said, "take another picture, so they know who it is underneath."

 

this is what walks to school look like. both kids out of the stroller and me feeling a little silly pushing an empty stroller. but they always ride in it on the way home because it is uphill and they get tired. 

halloween costumes from this year (familiar from previous years? i love getting to reuse costumes):

candy corn diane: 

madeleine was izzy from jake and the neverland pirates: 

and jonathan was the boy who refused to put on a costume and wanted to play peek-a-boo instead of getting his picture taken: 

lest you think i was so creative as to carve a pumpkin to hold candy for trick-or-treaters, this was my neighbor's house. 

i love little baby bums.

this was jonathan hiding from me. one of those "if i can't see you, you can't see me," things.
