They do run, run, run...

Lately the boys have decided that it is really fun to get places fast. Why walk when you can run in different directions away from Mommy and Daddy? Although they enjoy running around the house, they love running around the neighborhood. Aiden and Gavin like to explore every sidewalk and driveway. I'm sure our neighbors think nothing of two little boys wandering up their front steps.

While their number of tumbles is decreasing, their utter defiance is on the rise. A command to stay out of the street is greeted with a coy smile and then a quick dart towards the curb. I really think that "stay out of the street" must sound like "blah, blah, blah, blah, street" to them. In other words, they hear street and think, "Great idea Mommy!" Thankfully we live on a quiet street.

On you mark, get set, go Gavin!


The fact that the boys are very easily distracted makes them quite easy to catch. The water cover reeled them in again. Thanks water cover!

Yoda and Chewbacca They Were

This year for Halloween the boys decided to go with a Stars War theme (and when I say the boys I mean Ian and I). While Aiden was none too pleased with his costume when it first arrived, Gavin loved being Chewbacca. Gavin was perfectly content to run around the house and play like a good little wookie. Aiden would get his cloak on and just cry and cry. It was quite sad. Thankfully the night of Halloween Aiden was very tolerant and ended up not minding his costume one bit.
