Halloween!

We had a busy Halloween, as usual, starting with some pictures with the neighborhood kids (Bennett was not thrilled, as you can tell in these pictures), and then moving on to Grandma Wales' house (Bennett has decided that's what he's going to call her. Not sure where he came up with that!) where all of Brian's side of the family was waiting to see the kids all dressed up. Bennett got to go with the big kids on a hayride around the neighborhood. The highlight was a "monster house" with blue lights and spooky sounds. We had to drive by it, per his request/demand, after I picked him up. We stopped by my parents' house after that, but the twins were already asleep, so Bennett did some solo trick-or-treating there. We also made a couple other stops by Aunt Marilyn's house and the Judys' house. Bennett got more than enough candy!!

The twins are quickly approaching their 7 month birthdays, so here are there 6 month pictures. I don't know why, but 7 months sound so much older than 6! Quinn is reminding me more and more of her Aunt Brooke because of the volume of her voice :) She wakes up the whole house every morning with her singing. I guess it's a lot better than waking up to her crying, but at 5:15...what's the difference?! Ha! And Everett wins the award for Most Improved. He has been miserable a lot of his first 6 months with tummy and ear issues. Now that he is mobile and has discovered toys, he is an animal. He wants to play and will practically jump out of my arms when he gets excited. He has the BIGGEST smile on his face most of the time. He is still miserable at night, which we can't figure out, but we are hoping that putting tubes in his ears (Wed.) will help.

And they both have discovered food now and can't get enough. They LOVE baby food and Baby Mum Mum crackers. Quinn is pretty vocal when I hesitate for 1 second while feeding her. She's hungry!!

And Bennett is still loving his time at the Puppy Pound. They recently went to a pumpkin patch and to Shatto Dairy Farm. Grandma Dee (again...he came up with that name) got to take Bennett and Laiken on the trip to the farm. He got to see how the farm works, pet some cows, and taste some of their unique flavors of milk (although after he tasted and didn't like the banana, he refused to try others). I can't believe he is going to be 3 years old in less than 2 months. I wish he could stay 2 forever! I still hang on his every word and crack up at everything he says. I'll have to post a video soon of some of our conversations.
