Fall Phone Fun

Just a quick post to share some of the fun pictures I've been taking recentley with our swanky new iPhones!

Treat or Treat

On Monday we had the opportunity to experience a Halloween night of truly epic proportions.  One of the parents from Aiden's pre-school volunteered their home (with little thought for their own sanity, or potential property damage) for a chaotic but fun pre-trick-or-treat party.  Packing that many costumed 3 year olds under one roof may not be advisable, but it certainly did make for a memorable evening.

After fueling up with some pizza and juice the gang struck out into the night to collect some tasty Halloween loot.  The kids had a great time running up to a door, grabbing as much candy as they thought they could get away with, and then moving onto the next one.  The parents mostly just tried to half-heartedly wrangle the chaos into some semblance of an organized group, all the while making jokes about stealing their kid's candy.  Everyone was happy.

Brady (sock-monkey hat included) looked pretty much like this all night. He too, was happy.

A very happy superhero and cowgirl.

Bros

The brotherly relationship between son A and son B is still (very literally) in it's infant stages.  Given that though, it's been interesting to watch over these initial months how the first essential brotherly bonds have already begun to form.

Aiden is pretty into Brady.  He likes to look at him, talk to him, pat and/or poke him, and above all- keep a watchful older-brother eye on him at all times.  Brady typically spends his waking hours in one of the many baby specific devices that we have scattered about the house.  These include (but are not limited to) a bassinet, swing, highchair, and more often than not- the arms of Mom & Dad.

So, when recentley we started letting Brady spend some time daily laying loose and free on the living room floor (he loves this) Aiden has taken full advantage of this new opportunity for brother snuggle time.

Aiden clearly thinks that this is the best thing that has ever happened in the world.  Brady, while not easily convinced, certainly tolerates Aiden's antics.  As far as Jen and I are concerned, we think it's pretty darn cute.
