my sweet innocent caleb

if you have ever been around caleb you know that he is a pretty deep thinker. sometimes, he can really come out of left field with some of his questions or comments. just to give you an example...this was his comment to me friday night.

we went to walmart to get colored lights for our christmas tree (yes i caved. i love white lights!). as we got to our car he said "mom, santa is the nicest guy on the earth." i said "uh huh". (typical mom answer when you don't know what else to say) i thought the "conversation" was over until he said "jesus must be so proud of him". it took all my strength to not laugh. i just said "uh huh"....again.

Halloween 2009

The boys really enjoyed Halloween this year. We decorated a little more than usual (notice "ghosts" in the trees). Caleb really enjoyed that. I had really wanted the boys to match or coordinate but I had to give up on that wish, probably for good. We just decided to go with what ever worked this year.

Caleb was Bumblebee from Transformers.


Troy was a dinosaur (notice the roaring). He was SO cute! Everybody loved him.

Drew was a little monster. He has been drooling so much here lately that we decided he would be the "drewl" monster (haha, get it?).

Here's all 3 of them together (quite the challenge).

I decided to dress up as well. Here's one of 4 out of 5 Halloween-ers.

Caleb and Troy had a lot of fun. We went to the Trunk or Treat at church and lucky for us the boys only went around 1 time for candy, so our candy stash was considerably less than it could have been. Nevertheless, I am SICK of candy.
