Milagro Bean Field: Nov-more

Happy fall! these pics are out of order (don't have time or patience to organize in chronological order).

This is a recent picture of our boys- they are always together - so much fun and love (some times too much love that leads to some roughhousing- let's just say our neighbors know when we are home :) )

This year for halloween, we were the ninja family with paul being sensei-wu (for those ninjago fans). we had a nice halloween dinner at our friends' home up the street (Paul and Sharmi with their similar age 2 boys) and then go trick or treating- the boys lose steam after about 5 houses (ill take that as long as i can!) and are surprised by us encouraging them to go to strangers' homes and ask for treats/candy. odd tradition -

Dominic was so excited to get this birthday gift (thank you stubenrauchs!) and couldn't wait to put the trucks in the water. they are not water toys, but Dominic had so much fun.

yup, a typical bath scene. those goggles are construction/home depot/worker goggles.

took the boys to see a halloween play. they loved it, particularly during intermission, they ran on stage and thought it was the funnest thing on earth. during the last scene when the protagonist exited the stage, Dez yelled out to the audience "SHE HAD TO GO TO THE POTTY" that resulted in the most amount of laughs during the entire play (that was supposed to be a comedy halloween show).

pre-theatre facepainting. i know, dominic looks a bit like bozo the clown with his long curls.

El Chavo hats- the boys love them for some reason, maybe the earflaps?

dez silly face after fun cookie decorations.

went to get the boys hair cut- dez looks like such a big boy with his "spikey/pointy" hair!

Dez imitating an actor from the play . . .

happy birthday to dominic who is 2! i almost cried when they cut his curls (his first hair cut!)

not sure if i previously posted this pic- i held him while they painted his face and he literally fell asleep in my arms. hmmm, maybe i should face painting when he wakes up next time at 2 a.m.

oh so happy dominic! pure joy . . .

we went to a farm outside of L.A. to pick pumpkins and apples. but, this being outside of L.A. the lines were crazy long, so we enjoyed the countryside and the fun colonial activities (bow & arrow, hachet/ax throwing, etc.)
