GASP!
Monday, November 29, 2010
I mistakenly left some safety scissors out in the living room. While cooking dinner, the boys were playing chase. Nothing strange about this. Then all of a sudden, I heard Brady yelling, "Cash, stop running, I'm trying to cut your hair!" I ran over and Brady had the scissors in his hand very close to Cash's hair. I almost died! I know I should be more concerned about Brady running with scissors but I was so nervous that he might had taken a chunk out of Cash's hair that this was my top priority and the only lecture I was giving at the time. Grandparents don't get too excited, Cash still has all of his long locks of hair.

And This is Why...

Brady and Cash slept in the same bed while spending the night at Granny and Papa's house. At about 9pm, Cash crawled out of bed, wandered into the kitchen, and told Granny, "I hungry." She proceeded to fix him a bowl of rice, he ate all of it, and then he happily went back to bed. This is why Cash is still in his crib and will be until he's four as long as it's up to me!

Happy Thanksgiving

Gobble Gobble! The boys had the best Thanksgiving. Brady couldn't wait to eat his "cooked turkey, not the real one" and Cash loved his feast of mac n cheese. Brady even had himself a big piece of pumpkin pie for dessert and gobbled that up too! He is getting so good at trying new things. I'm so proud of him. After the feast, the boys played and played and played in the leaves until they were plain "turkied" out.

Feast Day
Tuesday, November 23, 2010
Brady was looking forward to his Feast Day at school all week. He was going to eat ALL of the food even the ham and turkey. As you can see, he ate the ham but I don't think he really liked it by the look on his face. However, he was determined to eat it and he sure did. Both Brady and Cash's classes made cute place mats using their handprints as the turkeys. Brady's class even made thankful turkey centerpieces. According to these, Brady is thankful for mommy and daddy, turkey, and presents. I think that he may have his holidays confused!
I don't have any close-ups of Cash's class because I was just peeking in the doorway. If he saw me, he would never let me leave. I'm not sure if you can tell in the photo but poor Cash is the only student with his water cup and thermos of noodles that he takes for lunch everyday. I had to tell the teachers not to give him the special feast food and juice box or the sad little boy would go hungry. Do you think the Pilgrims brought noodles to their feast?

Hill Country
Saturday, November 13, 2010
We had the best time on a trip to the HIll Country with our friends Nathan, Nolan, Claire, and Baby Madeleine. We stayed for two nights in an historic home in Spring Creek, Texas. During the day, we had fun exploring, riding our bikes, and playing hide and go seek. We also stayed busy with a ton of crafts: macaroni necklaces, Indian head dresses, play-do, painting, and some foam crafts. The kids had the most fun coloring their new playhouse and using teamwork to put it together. At night, we put the kids to bed and the mommies sat by the fireplace talking. We tried to stay up as late as we could because we were all a little (me a lot) spooked out in the old creaking house. Next time, I vote we either bring the daddies along or bring a ghost kit.
Notice the bottom picture: Cash is sitting right next to Claire. All weekend, he did not leave her side. All it took was for her to hold his hand one time down the stairs and Cash was immediately smitten with her. Nathan watch out, you now have some competition for sweet Claire. He kept asking "Where Claire" and would fight to sit next to her. Look at how cute she is, who wouldn't want to be close to her? We are so sad are friends are moving again, this time out of state. As if San Antonio wasn't far enough away!

Lincoln Logs
Thursday, November 12, 2010
Brady and Mommy worked for almost an hour to build this elaborate Lincoln Log fort that was pictured on the box. There were 71 steps of sweat and tears. Needless to say, it was hard work! Immediately after completion, Brady wanted to stand in the middle of the fort and tripped on the way out, surprise. Then Cash nonchalantly disassembled the roof so he could put his army man in our two story building. Really! The fort unfortunately lost the battle against the Bartels Boys and lasted approximately only two seconds.

Donuts With Dad

Daddy was lucky enough to join Brady for breakfast at school today for Donuts with Daddy. Brady even made Daddy a new tie. I must admit, Mommy is very jealous!

Happy Halloween

Trick or Treat! I think Brady and Cash are in my favorite costumes yet. Not only do they love to wear them everyday, but also these outfits are so them! Brady wants to be an astronaut when he grows up and Cash loves firemen so much that he's now convinced that he wants to be one too when he grows up. My own two heros!
Unlike the last two years, Cash was totally in to trick or treating this time. He would walk right up to the door, hold up his bucket, then walk to the next house to get some more. I never had to hold him once which is a huge accomplishment for me especially since he's gotten so heavy. Brady is an old pro at this game. We had to keep reminding him though not to scream too loudly at the candy givers and not to ring the door bell more than once.
Brady was hoping for Skittles and all Cash cared about was M&M's. When he would get some, he would run to me and say, "Look Mommy, M&M's". He was super excited! We were having so much fun that we even went home to unload our buckets before going out for more candy!

I know the second photo is wrong. I loaded it by mistake and didn't have the heart to delete it. It was taken at the zoo a week before Cash was born. Awe!
Neighborhood Halloween Party
Saturday, October 30, 2010
We had a frightful good time at the Ruby Canyon Halloween Block Party. There were moonwalks, a spider bean bag toss, pumpkin bowling, a cake walk, bobbing for apples, a Needle in the Haystack with prizes, a costume contest, and my personal favorite, a donut eating contest. Donuts were hung from a tree on a string and the kids had to eat them as fast as they could with their hands behind their backs. It was so funny! As you can see, Brady eventually had enough of the game and grabbed it with his hands and started eating. He looked like a starving homeless kid. While we are on the subject, during the apple bobbing, Brady also only lasted about a minute before he picked up the apple with his hands. I think he might take after his Daddy when it comes to games, a cheater. Let's hope not, maybe he was just really hungry?
You may wonder why Cash is not in many pictures. He was in one of his moods and would not let me put him down. He did not warm up until Daddy gave him an eyeball lollipop. Go Daddy! He even wanted to go on the hayride all by himself. What! Who is this kid? Thank you Ms. Paula for chaperoning him!
