Before it was a holiday today, it was recycle day. Guess who had to be in the back of Bill’s truck to see the truck come down the street!

He thought he was so big, and such a helper!

Right after nap time today, two little monkeys flopping on the bed

Peekaboo barn house

Naughty climbing time

The afternoon/early evening was a bit chaotic, and I did not get a picture of Brendan in his adorable Halloween tshirt from Gramma. The shirts were so cute. It was actually cold outside this evening, so the boys had to wear their monster hoodies to stay warm. We didn’t do costumes this year, it just wasn’t worth the struggle.

Trevor made himself in charge of the candy distribution. He loved all the kids coming up to say trick-or-treat

We also handed out glow sticks. There was a very slow trickle of kids this year, it was not much of a turn out.

Brendan liked playing outside with Trevor, and they were nice to each other. They each got to go down the street to the neighbor’s haunted house too.

Trevor thought the bushes needed some glow

I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween!

Gramma had to say goodbye this morning. We are glad that she made it safely home, and we already miss her!

This afternoon, the boys and I carved their little pumpkins. They both were really interested! It was fun!

Brendan is showing off his new birthday bongo drums

Silly boys

I can’t believe that Gramma’s two-week visit is coming to an end. It went by in a flash, and yet if we think about everything that we have done, it was a long couple of weeks! Of course the list we had in our heads about “things we would like to do when Gramma is here to help” didn’t really get anything crossed off of it. There were big events like the HopeWalk, portraits, and the birthday madness!!

The boys had a Target gift card to spend, so we took Gramma on the last shopping outing this morning.

He got to get down from the shopping cart in order to pick out what he wanted to get.

“How does this machine work?”

It was a gorgeous day, so we had “picnic” lunch out on the patio to wait for the garbage truck

Trevor finished eating and the truck was still not on our street. He had to run around in the bed of Bill’s truck to wait. He LOVED playing in the truck. (now we started something)

His hands got “deedirt” (Trevorese for dirty)

Trevor picked out a farm house from Target this morning. He loves “mooo cowww” and roosters.

Brendan had to help Gramma get checked in for her flight

Brendan was feeling super cuddly and wanted lots of hugs. He had a rough morning with his g-tube button getting pulled out, but he had a good day once he recovered.

The whole family got haircuts today. Gramma cut my hair out on the patio in the sun, then I trimmed her hair too. Then she cut Trevor’s hair, trimmed Brendan’s duck tail of weird mullet hair, and then trimmed up Bill’s hair too! Everyone looks spiffy!

We have to go to the airport first thing in the morning! At 10:30pm, Brendan is getting extra cuddles and rocking and his favorite video. Brendan is stalling because he doesn’t want to go to sleep, Gramma is stalling because she doesn’t want to pack!
