It wouldn't be Halloween without a showing of the boys in costume heading out to trick or treat! They had a lot of fun tonight, and even Owen seemed to understand the idea of going to houses to get candy. They made it about an hour and a half, which isn't too bad considering it was pretty chilly outside! We have enough candy to last an entire year!
Not to be outdone by his big brother, Owen celebrates his 2nd birthday today! It seems unreal to me that Colin is 5 and almost unbelievable to me that Owen is 2. Owen has turned into a little boy almost overnight, talking, running, jumping and trying to do everything that Colin does. Owen adores his big brother and is always trying to do be just like him. 
Olympia just remodeled a playground near our house. Here you can see the boys enjoying some sunshine and the fun new play areas!
Colin is five years old! It's hard to believe he's 5 already. Here you can see him enjoying the fun - presents were opened in seconds, candles were extinguished quickly and cake was eaten with amazing speed. Fitting with the theme of Colin growing up way too fast. 
They seem pretty well-adjusted after three weeks. Owen still says "No!" as soon as you turn onto the road the school is on. But since this is his first experience with a group daycare setting I am pleased he's done this well.
