I'm trying so hard to get caught up...
I found these pictures on my little camera and had to post them. So, here are just a few random pictures from October:
Cole is quite the mover! He's crawling everywhere and is now cruising along the furniture. I don't think it will be too long before we have a walker on our hands.
One of his favorite places to be is the little park inside our mall here in Charlottesville. It's a tiny little place, but it's perfect for him. He spends the whole time crawling around and trying to climb up on everything.
I took his socks off and he took off right up the little "Declaration of Independence" slide.
I love that he thinks he's so big and can keep up with the big kids.
Although, with Jude and Lance to show him the way, it's so surprise Cole is a climber.
Jude is quite fearless when it comes to climbing and jumping. He climbs over just about everything, even the fence that surrounds the little playground.
Jump!
Okay, funny Cole story. Cole is intent on being wherever he thinks other people are and will not wait for someone to come get him. One day we were all coming in from the car and I set Cole down inside the living room and went back to the car to unload some groceries. I come back inside, close the door and start putting away the cold groceries when I realize I didn't see Cole when I came inside. I asked everyone and finally Jude volunteered, "He's outside." What? I open the front door and look around--no Cole. So I walk over to the steps that lead to the parking lot and there he is, making his way rather fast up the stairs. He was on the landing between the first and second flight when I finally got to him. I had to laugh and almost cry--what a funny boy, but how scary that he could have potentially crawled away without us knowing. Glad Jude was keeping tabs on him. We've been VERY careful since to make sure we watch Cole just a touch more closely. He is such a stinker already!
Every year for Lance's Birthday he gets to pick out a special place to have dinner. His Birthday was in September, but with George's schedule being so busy, we weren't able to do his Birthday dinner until October. He chose Hibachi Grill, an asian-style buffet that he LOVES.
Eww. Crazy face.
Hibachi Grill combined with our old favorite China King Buffet. I'm still not convinced the new place is as good, but it's a fun way to spend the evening and everyone does a good job eating a LOT. Especially Lance.
This year for Halloween, Lance wanted to be a Baneling. Yes, a Baneling. Do you have any clue as to what a baneling is? Because I sure didn't until about two weeks before Halloween. It's a character in a computer game called StarCraft II that Lance plays with his dad.
Wanna see a picture of a baneling? Here you go:
You want to be that? How on earth am I going to make a costume like that?
But trying to earn good mom points, I said okay and set to work. At least Jude wanted to be a crocodile.
Homemade costumes require several trips to the store.
Luckily, these boys were good sports.
It took me a while to figure out exactly what direction to go with the costumes, but here are some pictures of them coming together:
Jude wanted to be a crocodile and I couldn't for my life find a good costume, not even online, so I made his, too.
Here is his hat starting to take shape:
Whew! It was a long couple weeks and not enough sleep, but the costumes turned out better than I thought. Stay tuned for pictures!
