BOWLING

We took the boys bowling for their first time. They were both SOOOO excited.

Here is Braxton putting on his bowling shoes. They were so little!

He looks so big in this picture!

Here they are waiting to bowl.

It's much further to the pins then it is in the Wii game.

Bowling 2

Here is Braxtons first time bowling.

wait for it, wait for it. SCORE!

Here is Carmine lining it up perfectly for that strike!

And he got it! I wish I could have gotten his full reaction on camera, it was hilarious!

Final Score

This was the final score, and yes Carmine beat us all. Anthony and I weren't trying to play nice either, we were really playing and he still beat us! I guess all those hours of bowling on the Wii is paying off in the real world.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Aren't they the cutest pirates you've ever seen!

Here they are waiting to start trick - or - treating. Don't they look excited.

Halloween Costumes

We went to our friends house to trick-or-treat in her neighborhood. The cute little lion in the middle is the little boy I babysit. They are so cute!

I went as a cow girl, Yee Haa!

Braxton was all about getting free candy. He loved it and would run to the next car for more candy.

Here they are doing a walk around for everyone to see their costumes. They had so many compliments on their costumes. My Mom made them and they look like they are straight out of Pirates of the Caribbean movie. (Thanks Grandma!)

More Halloween

There they are walking to the next house. I don't know if you can see it but the next house was very scary. The people went all out and were wearing scary masks. When the boys got closer they stopped and wouldn't go get candy and Braxton said, " Um maybe it's too scary." He is so funny.

Here they are Trick-or-Treating at their first house.

Halloween continued

Here we all are giving out candy.

Anthony dressed as a golfer.

COOKIES

I made Halloween cookies for the boys to frost. They loved it, and they did a good job.

Braxton is concentrating very hard, look at his tongue hanging out.

And now we get to EAT! Their favorite part.

The finished product.

National Harbor

We met with some friends to go to lunch at the National Harbor. We took a taxi boat ride over to it, we thought the boys would like it. Here is Carmine and Anthony waiting at the Pier.

They have this guy that is coming up from out of the sand. (I am not sure who it's supposed to be) They had fun playing on it.

Mmmmm, Crab legs

Anthony and I decided to have crab and lobster claws for dinner one night. I showed the boys the claw and they thought it was cool/gross, they were not quite sure which one.

In the pot you go!

They were SOOOO yummy! I am still craving more.

Dr. Braxton

I had bought a clip board for Carmine to write on one day. Braxton decided he wanted to play Doctor with it. I don't know where he got this idea from, we haven't been to the doctors lately. Maybe he saw it on Noggin or something, who knows. Anyways, he was so cute. He went and got one of my head bands and put it around his head and also got his Halloween flashlight. He told Daddy to "open wide"

Here he is writing down what he found. He would say "It looks good"

He is so fun to watch, he is very creative and likes to pretend.

Did Carmine cut your hair?

"Business in the front and party in the back" Humor is my way of getting through this horrible hair cut!

So I finally went to go and get my hair cut from a lady that did it last time and I loved it. So I'm in the chair and she starts to cut the back and I was like "wow, how short did you cut that? I think after I said that she basically stopped cutting , so to make a long story short I now have a hair cut that makes me look like I have dog ears. Very convenient for Halloween!

I don't know what she was thinking! I did get a refund the next day. I guess am just going to have a bad hair day for about a month while people that look at me think,"That poor girl. Do you think she knows what the back of her hair looks like?" Well, I do. I am just choosing not to look at the back of my head for a MONTH!!!!

First Time at the Beach

Braxton woke up at 6:00 am this morning and came and woke Anthony and I as well. It reminded me of waking up early in Hawaii and going to the beach and eating breakfast. So that is what we did today, minus Hawaii. We all jumped in the car around 6:30 am and drove 1 hour to a beach in Maryland.

This is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge

This is both Braxton and Carmines first time at the beach so we had to do the famous picture with your name written in the sand.

We had Carmine take our picture at the beach. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but he did a good job! Maybe we will have more pictures taken of us two.

Sea Shells

The boys started to look for sea shells in the sand.

Most kids would want to save them right?

.......Not mine, they threw all the ones they found back into the water.
