A Bull and a Buckaroo

I shouldn't go into the Gymboree store, because it's almost impossible to walk in there without buying something. But that is just about the only store that carries cute items for boys. I like animals, trains, etc for them. Naturally they don't look as cute in the sports, superhero and car crap that is marketed for little boys. I want my guys to be gentle, loving creatures, and dress them accordingly. Friday my mom and I spent the day shopping, and I got their Halloween costumes and these shirts. (They are going to be chickens for Halloween...pics on that later!)

The shirts are 3T even though they are 2 now, so they are a little roomy (trying to get 2 seasons out of them!)

Last night was our parish soup supper and I brought the boys. It went better than the August picnic, because I kept them in the stroller most of the time.

I let Lm out for a short spell and he was running all over the place. The woman I was chatting with said, "At least here you don't have to worry about him running like that as much. It's safe in here and you know everybody, so no worries that someone will run off with him."

"Oh, I'm not worried about anyone harming him," I said. "I'm just worried what he's going to do to others!" LOL. He'll go up to anyone and start grabbing stuff off their plates, etc. He got away from me at one point, but unbeknownst to him, his grandmother was working the bake sale and he ran smack into her! She picked him up and he started crying b/c he was "caught."

Afterward we came home and it was still light out and seasonably warm, so my guys played outside for awhile...

Lk is in that stage where he wants to do everything himself, including working the camera...

"Oh, no!" cried Lk. "It's stuck!" He loves to operate the wagon and gets upset when it topples or he catches it on a fence, tree, etc.

Lm just likes to climb in and say "Go!"

And here is Lk pulling him.

Naturally someone has to push the wagon from the other side, but Lk is so proud of himself that he can haul his brother around.

This year for Halloween I'm thinking we will just go to houses of people we know that are in the two towns near us. So beware! If you live within a 5 mile radius of us and we know you, two chickens may be showing up on your doorstep on Oct. 31...
