Tricks & Treats

It's time once again for us to sit on the porch and hand out candy to all the little kids. Maddux and I are ready for the trick or treaters in our skeleton pjs! I also have my Halloween bow in my hair.

Maddux was keeping his eye on the driveway. He was ready to attack!

I was more in the mood for a nap.

Auntie Jamie sent us pictures of Linus in his costumes. He had multiple wardrobe changes during the evening.

The giraffe costume was one Maddux wore several years ago (circa 2006). He didn't want me to post this one. I waited until he went to sleep and posted it anyway.

October 2006 (this was his first Halloween in this house):

Nana sent us the picture of Sam, Olivia, and Elizabeth in their costumes last week. Sam is Dash from The Incredibles and Olivia and Elizabeth are pirates since Auntie Tina couldn't find any outfits from The Incredibles small enough for the girls.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Scary Pumpkin

For the past few years, we have used our pirate and princess Potato Heads to decorate our Halloween pumpkins, but Mommy wanted something new this year. So, she painted one. Now, don't be too impressed...this was a kit.

Bella thinks he looks good enough to eat.

I'm not so sure about this guy.

I guess he's not so scary. We named him Bones. Bella and I like bones! :)

Belated Birthdays

Nana and Auntie Jamie had birthdays earlier in the month, but because Mommy was in California, we celebrated in Knoxville a little late.

We celebrated with Auntie Jamie first, but before we got the party started, Linus got groomed...better him than me (or Maddux)!

Auntie Jamie was trying out a new groomer and this one gave him his first bandana.

He was exhausted after he was done, which was good for me since he was more interested in taking a nap than harassing me.

Although, he wasn't too tired to sniff Maddux's behind.

Linus and Mimi (that's what Linus calls her.) It's confusing with two names so we'll start calling her that, too.

Linus "helping":

In my opinion, this white paper collar he has would look even better if it were a "little" tighter around his furry neck. Just kidding...maybe.

One of the many outtakes of the two previous pictures. Mommy loved the look on Linus' face in this one.

All this excitement makes me tired.

When Shark's Attack

Auntie Jamie left Linus' Halloween outfit from last year out on the table, and Mommy thought it would be funny to take some pictures of Linus and Maddux. Fortunately, I was not included in this photo shoot. Make sure you play the Jaws music in your head while you look at these.

The next day it was off to Nana's to enjoy a belated birthday with Uncle Bryon and the kids. Auntie Tina didn't come over because she had to study for a big test. We missed her!

Playing at Nana's house:

Now, you may have noticed that Olivia had sunglasses on her head in previous pictures. She loves to wear her sunglasses on top of her head, but she decided to put them down while she colored at the restaurant.

After lunch it was time to head to the playground across from Nana's house.

Since Olivia always wore her shades, Mommy started calling her "Hollywood". Video of her saying "cheese" exactly as Mommy asked her.
