Halloween 2014

Halloween is awesome with children.

And family themes.

This year we had a couple of jungle animals.

We had a Halloween Party with a whole bunch of friends today which made for a perfect afternoon.

And I'm sure you were wondering how we got so many kiddos to sit for so long... 

This is how. 

She sang and danced and put on quite the show.

My boys must have been completely entranced because they were about the last ones to leave their spot. 

And then we had our Ward Halloween Party/Trunk-Or-Treat later tonight. 

And that was when the safari hunters entered the scene.

Ian spent most of the night without his hat but he was still adorable. 

Briggs on the other hand, kept his hat on all night. 

The cuteness runneth over.

Their friend Belton looked dang adorable too. 

The boys got their first experience with candy from Halloween. (I guess I should clarify. Yes they have had candy before now, but it has been only a couple of times and had no association with Halloween.) They were fans.

Trunk-Or-Treats are pretty awesome. 

And so are we. 

And so is Briggs when he wanted to snuggle when we got home.

It was a perfect Halloween if you ask me.

We Share

Due to the nature of twins, the boys do nearly everything together.

So I couldn't help but giggle when Ian was drinking out of this water bottle and Briggs thought he would come drink some too... at the exact same time!

Funny kids! 

The Three Musketeers

Two boys and their Elmo.

Does it get any better?

The Super Park

Jesse simply calls the Fort Wildflower Park the Super Park.
Because it is.

It is divided into two sections based on age and not only does it have the coolest stuff, it is incredibly age appropriate.

We have played on both sides, but the "Tots" side is absolutely perfect for us right now. It has lots of little places to explore, areas to crawl through, and bars everywhere so your child can't plummet 7 feet to the ground trying to grab the fireman pole that they don't understand. Plus it is close to the airport which means the boys can see an airplane every minute. It was love from day one.

Now let me show you how awesome this place is (care of crummy phone pictures/videos.)

 {Look at all those bars! Also how short the steps are for those little legs!}

{It was so fun that it took my swing-loving children a good 30 minutes before they found the swings the first time we went there! I was shocked.}

And did I mention how fabulous it is to see airplanes the whole time we are there? I am pretty sure I almost love them as much as the boys do at this point!

{Airplane Gazing} 

And that's just the Tot Spot!

The big kids' side is even more amazing! 

Our favorites being the great merry go round and the awesome swing!

{We have a couple of adrenaline junkies! Briggs in particular LOVED going as fast as possible. By the time I pulled my phone out, they had already gone around about 972 times so Ian was looking a little green by this point.}

I'm sure you're sold on how amazing this park is too! We will be going back as often as possible before we move. 

How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?

Or more like, how do you solve a problem like our Ian?
We put these shorts on Ian's head and he loved them! We couldn't help but giggle!

Also on an unrelated, yet adorable note, he pulled my socks right off my feet the other day and wanted them on his feet. I can't help but love how my ankle socks are knee socks on him!

Seriously, this child cracks me up!
