I took Will out to the railroad tracks in town to take some two year old pictures. I took 120 pictures and he looked and smiled at the camera in one. He looked at the camera and frowned in two and........
......tried to throw a rock at me 3 or 4 times and.......
...... gave me a cute pouty face in about 5 of them and.......
.....acted like I wasn't even their in about 40 of them and........
.....walked away from me in the rest.
Samuel cooperated!
Will had his second birthday on the 7th of this month. He is growing up so fast. He is a very sweet and kind kid, gives great kisses and hugs, and has a very contagious laugh about 50 % of the time. The other 50% of the time he has his own mind and know exactly what he wants and no one and nothing is going to get in his way. I suppose this come from being the youngest of 4. He has learned he has to stand his ground or get run over. Will is a great joy and I am grateful for the two years he has been with us and all the things that he has taught me.
Second birthdays in our house mean a room full of balloons from dad. Will LOOOOOOOVED his balloons. It was the quietest Sunday I have had in a long time. The kids went in the room, shut the door so the balloons couldn't escape and played all day.
The first week in November was beautiful. The weather was so nice in the afternoon that we were able to go out and ride bikes and scooters.
I spent a lot of time sweep up pine needle that were in the driveway. Will had a great time jumping in them.
Rodney's parents were here a few day before Halloween so we had a party and carved pumpkins. Carving pumpkins is not my favorite activity but it wasn't as bad as I thought. My kids must be growing up. A great time was had by all.
Rodney wanted to be the scariest Frankenstein ever. Of course he waited until three hours before we were leaving to go trick or treating to start on his costume. In town where you can not just run down to Walmart and buy things that you need Rodney is a pain on Halloween. He turned out ok but his big block of wood head that was chinked to his head fell off once and almost hit an unsuspecting trick or treater. Can anyone say lawsuit? I also only had white face paint and so I added food coloring to it for his face. Once we applied the makeup I washed my finger and it was stained green. I was hoping that Rodney was going to be stained green too. Unfortunately it all came off.
Jack was a very cute Harry Potter. Thanks to a Groupon his costume only cost $15.
Will was suppose to be dressed as a devil which if you know him personal was a great pick. Instead he ended up dressed as a very stubborn two year old which is a even better match.
Gracie decided she wanted to be a black cat. We had a great time taking pictures of her acting like a cat.
Samuel was a very handsome looking cowboy. 
This picture was taken before we ever went trick or treating. He was having such a great time running around shooting every one it just wore him out.
Samuel was debating several weeks before Halloween about being Zoro apparently running around jabbing everyone with a sword is just as tiring as shooting them.
