Halloween 2009

Kamryn and Christian were Raggedy Ann & Raggedy Andy for Halloween. I have had this planned since last year when I tried to find costumes but the kids were too little. I figured this was my last chance to decide their costumes for them. I am sure next year they will have their own ideas. They were so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We trick or treated at Grandma and Grandpa's where we met up with baby Tyler dragon. I can't believe that my camera disappeared for 10/31 and I found it the next day. Luckily my parents took lots of pictures.

I love how Tyler is checking out Raggedy Ann...

...and then Raggedy Andy.

so CUTE!!

After we trick or treated at Grandma and Grandpa's we went back to Buffalo to trick or treat at Grandma Carroll's house and met up with Uncle Fred & Aunt Lynn. We had such a great Halloween and the kids had fun. I will never be without a camera on Halloween again!! Wish I had more pics to post.

This is Christian's first time touching sand. It didn't go so well. The kids did not like touching dry sand but they loved walking in wet sand where they could see their footprints.

It didn't go very much better for Kamryn either.

Just when they were okay walking in the sand we tried to add walking in the sand and water. No takers with that either.

All of this fighting and resisting sand can tire a kid out.

We LOVE naptime!!

Kamryn loved baby Tyler's bouncy seat. She would sit and then throw herself backwards and squeal with delight. We had to start hiding it from her.

The kids finally got the concept of wearing sunglasses and loved them!!

Naptime for Jess & baby Tyler

Dan had more fun building sandcastles than the kids. The kids were not interested at all.

Both kids loved having free roam and walking all over the beach.

Trying to get a Christmas card picture always turns out like this.

We had the best best best time in the Outerbanks with my parents , Biss & Jess and baby Tyler. The kids made great progress with their speech being around Jessie and their grandparents. We would love to go back every summer, and just might have to find a way to make that happen. Its such a great place to relax and spend time with family unless you are my mom who did most of the cooking and cleaning. Thanks mom & dad for one of the best vacations ever!!
