Clearance Items
We hit the Halloween Clearance Aisle at Wal-Mart this and weekend and came home with 90% off costumes! They were less than $2 each, so AWESOME!!! Several friends I have talked to hit the sale as well and are considering making a costume chest for Christmas! This has given me a great idea for one or more of the boys for Christmas, so stay tuned!
Caden really got into character!
Here is the fearsome trio
Good to know our house is protected!

KidFest 2010
We had a great time last Saturday dressing up and attending our KidFest at church! We didn't get a lot of great shots because it was challenging enough to manhandle those 5 kids!
Cole was a cute little elephant! He wasn't feeling the costume this year, so I got a few pics but most of the night he wouldn't wear the hat.
Carter and his best bud Ben both as Buzz, we tried to get Carter to be Woody so they could be a pair, but no go...so we had two cute little Buzz's!
Another matching pair :) Caden and his buddy Sam as Mario and Luigi.
Since Crosby messed up his costume, and was kind of fussy, he spent the evening in the sling with Momma! He slept most of the night :)
We got there early enough to play a few games! Caden had a great time! This game was great...squirting out a flame on a candle with a water gun!
Then we had a fun time flying paper airplanes through a hula-hoop. Everyone tried, even Cole!
After the airplanes, Carter got his face painted. Batman is the new obsession!

Crosby was a ghost, until he pooped EVERYWHERE on the way to the church :(

Pumpkin Carving
On Friday night, we tried to get into the spirit of the season and carve a pumpkin. We got one of those kits from Walmart and I think Cory got a little more than he bargained for! He was expecting a jack-o-latern, but this kit came with patterns and of course the kids picked a good one!
Even Crosby participated, by watching in his rocker.
Caden got right in and got all gross, Carter on the other hand didn't want to touch it because it was "gross"!
We convinced Carter he could use a spoon.
Cole wanted to be on the island, in the middle of it all!
I think my face says it all, YUCK!
Even Crosby and Momma had to scoop one spoonful.
Caden enjoyed the goop inside the pumpkin!
Cole wasn't sure what was going on, at some moments he loved it, other moments he hated it!
The finished product! WAY TO GO DADDDY!
A look of it outside with the candle.
Cory started with the top, the kids scooped the goop, then Cory finished it off! Great job Cory!!!

Mr. Crosby - 2 months
Can you believe my little man is 2 months old already! Wow this time the time has really flown by. I am usually not sentimental, but I wish it would slow down just a little!
This is the pic I captured on my phone at the doctor's office on Wednesday, his actual 2 month birthday :) He weighed in at 13lbs 4oz, and 23 1/4 inches. He is a little smaller than the other boys, around 1lb lighter and 1/2 to 1 inch shorter, but he is catching up! He might be the smallest of the herd, but I am sure he will learn to hold his own around here!
He is doing great! Rarely fusses at all. He still has his fussy time of day, but it isn't that bad and usually one of the kids just has to talk to him. He is napping great in his room, the swing, the carseat, or where ever. He is eating GREAT, as you can see! He is sleeping at night longer and longer...up to 9 hours last night! We are adjusting great and so happy to be a family of 6(7 really!) God is so good to us!
Happy 2 months son! You have blessed our lives tremendously!

Fall Break
Finally getting around to blogging our fall break. If you follow me on Facebook, you know I bravely took the circus on the road :) I picked up the big kids from school on Wednesday and headed home with all 5. They did AMAZING on the way down there! I only stopped once, we all went in to use the bathrooms and then I fed Crosby and we got back on the road.
We had such a great time while we were there. Bedtimes were a little challenging, but otherwise everyone did well! Here is a quick recap in pictures of our time with my family. Our girl was with us, but I have recently learned I shouldn't be posting her picture on the web for ALL to see, bummer! So I had to be selective :(
The first afternoon, you remember Caden caught a frog, well Cole was just beside himself that brother had something and he didn't, so we found Cole a bug, a close 2nd to the frog!
Once Pops finally got home from work and showered, we had some wrestling going on!
Grammy Flo got to love on Baby Crosby! My wonderful grandmother isn't doing great healthwise and this MADE HER DAY! We kept asking her if she was tired or we needed to take him, and she would almost shout NO! She was in HEAVEN on earth!
Thursday AM we took the circus to Lawton to see my other grandparents. This is Caden and Crosby with Grandma, Carter went outside quickly, and Cole actually slept half the visit!
Then we headed to Laugh Out Loud, Lawton's version of Chuck E. Cheese. Gigi and Pops let the kids play all kinds of stuff and have fun! Gigi even went on the Frog Hopper ride with the kids!
My family loves to play dice games...I always remember playing Yahtzee with Grammy and Papa, but Gigi found a new dice game, Farkle. The boys LOVE it! 
Cole really just likes to throw the dice.
Carter can actually play most of the game. He came back at the end of this one and beat everyone! He was thrilled.
Caden does great! He can already add up his points. We just have a little trouble with his attitude when he loses.
On Saturday while we were all wearing orange for game day, we tried to get some pictures. Of course they all wouldn't cooperate at the same time, so I have no good ones of the 6 of us, but got some cute ones of the boys (minus Caden - groucho) and some of the girl :)
My wonderful hubby!
We had a great time, but it almost took a week to recover! Just kidding. I am so glad they all did well, and can't wait to go home again soon! Thanks Gigi and Pops for a FABULOUS time!

Bathtime with the Littles
Sometimes, not often, but sometimes I get to spend time with just the two little boys. Yes I have them each morning, but Crosby is usually sleeping and they don't interact much. Well on this night, Cole got a special treat. I put Crosby's bath tub in the tub with him and he was THRILLED. He got to bathe Crosby and "play" with him! He was so excited! Can't you tell?!?!
Crosby did smile some, just didn't catch it on film. He is so stoic most of the time, so we get excited about his smiles. He is pretty laid back, can't imagine where that comes from!
Then of course once the bathing was over, the kissing began. This went on for SEVERAL minutes! Cole loves to give kisses.
One of these days Crosby is going to slap Cole in the face, but until then, we will enjoy these precious photos :)
