Being Silly

These boys have had a lot of fun lately. I guess that is nothing unusual, but they have been much more creative at home finding things to do or rather things to get into! Everyday there are new messes and new memories being made. However, they still would rather get out of the house and go play somewhere else. Luckily we have quite a few friends that love to have us come play!

The science spectrum had a health fair with different activities and booths. The boys had fun in the firetruck, playing in the bounces house and other fun things they had. There were also prizes to be won!!! Kyler's name was the first one drawn! He picked out the scooter. He was so excited he was a winner again!

I found them both reading books like this one day.  I'm not sure what possessed them to do this, but they weren't watching TV or fighting so I didn't mess with it!!

They also decided they wanted to dress up like Daddy.  It started with just the shoes and progressed into shorts and hats too!

Radley wanted his picture taken too.  I guess he is missing pants so he fits in with funny dressed boys!

Damon ran around with these cleats for 3 days.  He would run into the kitchen and slip and fall.  He thought he was hilarious!

This doesn't look as good as it did in real life, but they were so cute from behind!

One day we went to a friend's house to play and stayed way too long!  At 4:30 I left with Radley (the other boys stayed to play longer and were brought home later) and he was asleep in less than a minute!  He was worn out!

The boys got to explore a firetruck one day and thought it was really cool!

Kyler driving!

Damon turning the lights on.

Damon's in the driver's seat after he turned the lights on.  His little head is poking up just barely over the steering wheel.

The blowup slide came back, and they loved it!

There was an obstacle course set up.  All they had to do was tell them to go as fast as they could, and the boys were all for it!

Crawling through the box.

Kyler looks quite a bit bigger than Damon.  He only weighs about 3 or 4 more pounds than Damon, but he's to close to 6 inches in height taller!

Super Fast!

They all really enjoyed throwing the balls.  I need one of these in my house so I don't get hit and the stuff inside my house will be safe!!  I was amazed how well Kyler can aim!  He hit the target almost every time he threw it.

The bean bag toss was fun too!

This happens to me almost daily. Most of the time it is just Damon and Radley because neither of them can stand it if someone else is sitting on my lap. Kyler usually doesn't get involved, but sometimes he wants me to hold him too. Thus a brawl ensues!!

Halloween 2014

These boys had an AMAZING Halloween. Highlights include: winning the costume contest (again), candy, playing games, jumping in the bouncy castles, candy, their costumes (except Radley), Krispy Kreme donuts, candy, trick-or-treating, & did I mention CANDY!! Kyler reminded me that Halloween is his favorite. He loves everything about Halloween, and Damon agrees with anything Kyler says so they loved it!!

The Tin Man 

We wanted the boys to be something coordinating, and surprisingly they agreed.  They decided to be the characters from the Wizard of Oz.  Kyler choose the Tin Man, and Kenney made a really cool ax to go with it, but we lost it the first Halloween activity we attended.  I had way too many things to keep track of.

The Scarecrow 

Damon decided to be the scarecrow and thought that I should be the gurl (it sounds so cute when he says girl) and Daddy should be the dog.  We didn't quite get the whole Dorothy and Toto thing, but he sure made a cute scarecrow!

The Lion 

This little lion did not like his costume.  He really didn't like his mane.  He screamed every time I tried to put it on.  We finally got him distracted enough with a sucker to get the mane on him and take a couple pictures!

This is the first time we tried it on...

and he continued to hate it!!

We started off celebrating the day before Halloween with a carnival at the Science Spectrum.  They had crafts, games and candy of course!

Radley had fun with the games, but mostly he just wanted candy.  He was obsessed.  If someone gave him a piece of candy he had to eat it right then.  There was nothing in his little pumpkin; it was all in his tummy!

The boys' friend Emily dressed up like Dorothy on the day of the carnival.  We tried so hard to get a picture of them all together, but this is the best we got!  It was really cute!

Halloween morning started off by going to the bank (the ladies at the bank love the boys, and the boys love getting candy).  Then we went to Krispy Kreme and got donuts!

Radley was pretty happy about his donut!

The boys had to go to the dentist after Krispy Kreme and picked up these cool shades!  And yes, they insisted on going to the dentist in their costumes.  Luckily the entire staff, including the dentist, were all wearing superhero costumes!  I am happy to report there were no cavities (thankfully we went before most of the Halloween candy)!

Our attempt of getting a picture before heading to the Museum and going trick-or-treating.

This was after our attempt to put the mane on Radley.  He was still mad at us!

We headed to the costume contest right when we got there.  We had some tough competition (see the cheeseburger on the left), but they did it again!

Radley found the shades while the boys were doing some crafts.  He thought he was cool!

I know the picture is horrible, but they were so funny coming down the slide together.  They were rolling all over each other and laughing so hard!

The boys taking a picture with Spongebob.  That is as close as Damon would get!!

Here is Kyler having a blast jumping off the slide. I don't think my kids have any fears when it comes to this kind of stuff!

At'l Do Farm and Corn Maze

Some friends of ours told us about a farm and corn maze that we should go to because it was so much fun. We went last weekend and the boys had an absolute BLAST!!! They loved everything about it. We were there for over 4 hours, and they were begging us not to go home! I love being about to watch them have so much fun!!

While we were waiting for some other friends to join us, the boys were looking for fish in the pond.  They can't wait for Daddy to take them fishing and neither can I!!

I'm not sure why, but Kyler wanted his picture taken by this big rooster!

Radley and I on the Cow Train.  It was definitely not meant for anyone that is 6ft tall!!  However, I didn't know how well Radley would stay put with his brothers, so one of us had to go.  He seemed to really enjoy the ride through the corn!

Kyler, Emily, & Damon.  She's a great sport to keep up with these boys.  They don't give her any slack!

Pullin' Out

Everyone loved the ride.  We added another friend to ride with Radley and I.

They were all so excited!

Next, we went to the corn cannon where the boys each got three shots to shoot a target with a corncob.

Kyler said, "Daddy will you cover my ears please?"  Haha he really doesn't like loud noises!

If you look at the top of the picture you can see the corncob.  He actually hit the target!!  Way to go Kyler!

When Damon stepped up to shoot, one of the teenagers running the cannon said, "Wow he's really excited!"  Yep, Damon can't control his emotions too well!  He was beyond happy to shoot the cannon.  I couldn't get a great angle to see his face, but pure joy was written all over his face!

The corn maze was the favorite!  They had so much fun running through it.  Luckily there was a part just for kids their age where you couldn't get lost or make many wrong turns!

Radley loved it too and didn't want to be held.

I tried to get a picture of all three in the corn maze, and this is what I get!  Radley is behind Damon.  They wouldn't stop moving for anything!

Family Photo.  Not the worst, but room for improvement!

He was laughing so hard!  He loves to play!

Hay bale maze.  There were no right or wrong turns.  They just ran wild!

Eventually they made their way out.

It was such a nice and pretty night.  The bugs and the wind weren't bad (unusual for here).  It was great!

I couldn't get a great picture on the hay ride, but they had fun on here too!

There were a lot of very intricate pumpkin carvings on the hay ride.

Some silly pumpkins

Just a few of the characters and people carved.  There were all kinds of celebrities and cartoon characters.  The boys loved pointing out all the ones they recognized.

I love living in a place where a pumpkin like this is NOT offensive!

Yes, the best picture we could get!

The three of them trying to squeeze into one spot because none of them wanted to share!

Reading one of the storybook pages through the corn maze (Sorry the pictures are out of order.  I'm too lazy to mess with it).

We had so much fun, and can't wait to do it again sometime!

This is one of the pages of the storybook that we read as we went through the maze.  They couldn't run fast enough to find the next page!

Radley was so funny running around.  He would swing his legs out and just run at his own little pace.  It was really cute and fun to watch!
