Toasting string cheese with Maeve:

Awaiting the Birthday Boy:

How old are you?

Romy watching the action:

Just like the night he was born, there was a huge snowstorm. Sadly the roads were too bad for our guests to travel which meant more homemade cupcakes for Collin!

More Dancing...

Note: Collin doesn't go pantless as much as these videos might make one think

Dancing With The Dude

Some recent dudisms:

• "Hit the road!"
• "I like Mommies."
• When asked what do you say after receiving Halloween candy: "more?"
• Entertains the kids at school while they eat with his funny voices.

• "Green means go-time!"
• "I want dancing!"

Holy Pumpkins!

Mommy was a little depressed by last year's trip to the pumpkin patch. It was on a farm, but super commercial with lots of scary skeleton stuff, sad petting zoos, and even sadder pony rides. That's why this year she decided to take everyone to the friendly monastary pumpkin patch! It was perfect. Hayrides, bouncy houses, corn mazes ("Monk's Maze") and good old-fashioned fun. No bloody pirate skeletons to explain either--the Catholics keep all their gore INSIDE the church. There weren't too many actual monks around because we guessed they were busy, it being Sunday and all...
