The Week Before Halloween!!!

And all through our house..........

We were busily getting our costumes ready! 

We take Halloween seriously at this house!

Cash helps a LOT with Ivy Jane now and was holding her while I busily fixed up something on my costume!

I was working on something on Griffin's costume and turned around and Griff started laughing hysterically saying "look, look!"  I turned around to see he had put a hat on Ivy while she was playing in her exersaucer!  She didn't seem to mind, and I had to giggle at Griff laughing so hard!  Funny boy!

Since Cash isn't in pre-school I try to do things each week that would be activities like those of a school and this week we cut out pumpkin shapes with felt, and then stems, eyes, noses, and mouths of different shapes to play "put our pumpkin together!"  Griff loved it too and as you can see his is VERY creative!  It was a fun activity and helped Griffin learn his shapes better -- Cash already knows all his!

Griff's!  He really likes the stems you can see!  Also, he always wanted to put "cheeks" on his!

 Cash's when I said to use round for the eyes and moons for the nose and mouth!

 Griff's with a little help from mom - of course including cheek!

 Cash's!

 Cash's scary mouth one!

 Griff wants to do everything Cash does and so put on his underwear (over his diaper) and Cash's old boots and refused to wear anything else!  He makes us laugh constantly!  Skinny legged boy!

 Twin shirts! Tall boys!

 Copying Cash making a funny face! Love these two crazy boys!

Ivy has learned how to play with her toes, and even get them in her mouth these days.  I have a picture of me as a baby where I look just like this!  Makes me laugh!  Chubby thighs are so fun and squishy ;)

 I made a wedding hair piece for someone yesterday and was happy to check that off my list amongst all the costume stuff going on!!!

 Ivy got to wear her hat out and about as yesterday was actually cold!  Love dressing her up for the fall - my friend made her the CUTEST little booties to go with this but they got kicked off!

She makes us all smile with this cute little face!

A little preview and take one of the costume - Captain Jack Cash Sparrow!  Seriously business here I say!

What you going to be?
