Once Upon A Cozy Halloween

I was going through our photos and videos for the purpose of ordering prints (this will tell you how far behind I was in that area) and I remembered this darling video of The Blond Guy, me, and Nogster reading TBG's favorite Halloween book on Halloween night. You can see he's still in his cozy Eeyore costume. So, even though it's horrifically out of season, I wanted to share anyway.

We Made a Snowman Today

That was the easy part. The hard part was getting The Blond Guy to smile and look at me at the same time for the picture. And in case you're wondering if those are olives, the answer is "yes."

Nogster's Crawling Debut

Genesis

Well, to start off, I figured I'd begin with my most recent favorite picture (left). And for those of you who have seen it before, I thought I'd include a couple others to give you a feel for what I went through to get them both to smile at the same time. It's a next-to-impossible task these days. I'm lucky I got this one after going to the effort of getting them in shirts and ties for church.

And right now you may be thinking one of two things....well, maybe three things:

1)"Boy, those guys sure have cute kids." Our response to that would be that we are inclined to agree.

2)"Gee, Nogster sure looks like he has a big head." It's true. In fact, Stone even measured the distance between both of their eyes on this photo to see who would win. It was The Nog. But I think it just looks big because his cheeks fill out his face so much.

3)"Gosh, The Nog sure looks like he has a good tan." Actually, you're not the first to notice. But rest assured I'm not taking him to the beach and leaving The Blond Guy home in the closet. We're pretty sure it's a result of the mass quantity of orange veggies he's been eating lately. Poor kid, his mom is determined to have at least one member of the family grow up willing to eat vegetables. We're going to tone down the orange intake for the next couple of weeks and see if it does anything for his complexion.
