The boys sledding for the first time this year. We only got a couple on inches of snow but it was enough to close all the schools and for my boys to go sledding.

For the boy's birthday we got them this Power Wheel. Anthony and I put it together ourselves. We are true mechanics!

Carmine and Braxton "Opening" their presant.

They were so excited!

Riding their power wheel in the back yard.

They loved it. Now if only the weather would warm up so they can ride it again.

Carmine lost his first tooth

Carmine lost his first tooth. I was down stairs and all of a sudden Braxton calls out, "Mommy, Carmine's tooth fell out". I came running up stairs and he was in a little shock, he held his hand out with his tooth in it. He said he was drinking out of his cup and it fell out. He must have hit it on the cup or something.

No that's not blood on his shirt. It's food, he's a messy eater.

He thought it was so cool to be missing a tooth. That day I took him to the library to get some books on the tooth fairy. Later that night after we had read some books and it was time for bed he was very hesitant to go to bed. He kept coming out of his room so I went to his room and he had tears in his eyes and said, " but I'm really going to miss my tooth", why do I have to put it under my pillow?" I think he was scared of the Tooth Fairy coming. I told him he could put his tooth somewhere else, I'm sure she will find it. So he wanted to put it under his bed. He finally feel asleep and the tooth fairy gave him 2 dollar coins. He was very excited about it until Braxton decided to put Carmine's money in his piggy bank for him.

Trick-or-Treat

Well here they are, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and Spider Man! This year I let them pick out their costume all by themselves.

Halloween is here and it is FINALLY time to Trick-or-Treat! After about 3 weeks of "Mom when is it going to be Halloween", I am glad it is over!

Here they are at one of the many houses they went to. Braxton was so excited when they put the candy in his bag he would immediately look inside to see what candy they gave him and then say, "Wow Mommy I got a snickers or sucker etc. He was so funny.

Running to the next house. They got a ton of candy, and it's a good thing because we ended up using a lot of it to hand out to our trick or treaters because we ran out of our candy fast thanks to Braxton.....

Passing out Candy

Daddy and Braxton waiting for Trick-or-Treaters to come. Braxton kept giving huge hand fulls to people. The bigger the kid the more candy Braxton gave them. That's why we ran out so fast!

While they were out their Carmine was inside putting candy in a cup and a slipper to take outside to Daddy to put in the bowl. That was nice of him :)

All my boys. Happy Halloween!

The Ghost Train

I took the boys on a Ghost train ride. They were so excited to go!

Here they are waiting for the train to go.

On a different note, if you look closely at Carmine's bottom middle tooth. That it his first loose tooth! He thinks it's cool, but Mom and Dad are especially excited because once he looses it he won't have "snaggle tooth" anymore.

Before & After
