Iron Man and Spiderman...



Nixon has decided to be Iron Man this year and I have decided for Noah that he will be Spiderman:

Because of my severe dislike for the holiday... we did not carve pumpkins. Someone with the same feelings as I have must have invented this wonderful alternative to pumpkin carving... little eyes, mouth, nose and ears just like you would use for Mr. Potato Head! No nasty pumpkin seeds or rotting pumpkin smell! Sweet!
The boys had a great time rolling the pumpkins off the porch and into the parking lot [Noah]. They also loved making holes in the pumpkins with the little pieces. Every time we go outside, Nixon sits with "his" pumpkins. He rearranges them to his liking and plays with them like they are toys. They [the pumpkins] have conversations and "play time." Overall, the boys are enjoying getting ready for the holiday... Nixon keeps trying to get some candy that for some reason... I bought rediculously early! We don't eat candy... so that was a bad idea on my part!

Kaylen has been gone almost 3 months now... it went by fairly quick the first 2 months, now it is just dragging on and on and on! We are surviving... especially now that Kaylen has his computer with webcam... I bought a webcam too and the boys LOVE to talk to daddy. Noah still gets a little confused when he sees daddy in front of him and can hear him... but he's not actually here! He just says "hi" over and over.
That is all I have for now.... so stay tuned for more pix and more updates!

Hi Jenny. I don't know if you will remember me, but I am one of Kaylen's Idaho cousins. I met you at the wedding and when you brought Nixon down. Your boys are so cute! My grandparents mentioned that you had a blog page too and I wanted to look it up. I hope its ok :-). I completely agree about Halloween. Definitely not my favorite holiday. We didn't carve pumpkins either. We decorated them with craft foam (I like your Mr. Potato Head stuff better!). I enjoyed the pics of Kaylen too. He was always one of my fave cousins growing up. It is crazy to think of him traveling to so many places.
