Happy Halloween!

Hello from the Carter Zoo!
The boys say "Happy Halloween!" Danny (the lion), Dylan (the zebra) and Drew (the tiger).

The boys did their afternoon walk in costume today, to say hi to some of our neighbors that we knew we wouldn't get a chance to see later in the night....

After dinner Ryan & I took the boys out for their official trick or treating!

We're off! Trick or treat?!!

Carving pumpkins

It was such a nice day out today that the boys had fun playing around outside while Ryan & his dad carved pumpkins. The boys would wander over to the pumpkins to take a look (except for Andrew who could not tear himself away from his toys...)

The finished project!

Pre-Halloween party!

Gramma & Grampa are in town to visit the boys for Halloween! Today we visited my parent's office for a little pre-Halloween trick or treating!

Happy Birthday Great-Granddad!

Today we celebrated my granddad's 84th birthday by having my parents and grandparents over to hang out with the boys.

Love the smile Dylan!

Beep-beep!

Uncle Kevin bought this little motorized car for the boys on their 1st birthday. At the time, they were not walking and were a little scared of it! Well, now it's the *hottest* toy around ~ and always in demand! We taught the boys how to "push the red button" to go, and look out, they all learned so quickly! Now they zip around the yard in it. I am foreseeing it going down the basement when the weather gets colder. Here are some videos of the boys as they learn to ride it themselves!

Fun at the pumpkin patch!

We took the boys to Solly Brothers Farm to go get some pumpkins! Apparently, 3:30pm is not a busy time as we had the entire pumpkin patch to ourselves! It was so much fun! The boys had a great time roaming around and looking at all the pumpkins!
