Trick or Treating

Couple random tidbits:

On Thursday morning, the boys were eating breakfast and the Connor had spilled something. Carter responded with a properly pronounced and spaced, "O"..."M"..."G". The kid just turned 3, yet he is able to speak in the language of the average 14 year old girl. For those that have no clue what that means, its short for "Oh My God!" or OMG in the texting universe. He told us that Ms. Tara at school says it all the time. Crazy what they pick up.

Also, after getting back from trick or treating - Connor wondered why where all the "customers" were. He was referring to the fact that it was past 7:30 and no trick or treaters were coming to the house. Apparently, in his mind, trick or treaters are customers.


Headed downtown for the trick or treating at all the shops/restaurants at noon. 3 years in a row with gorgeous Halloween weather.


Connor ran into a much older shark lady.







Getting ready for round two of trick or treating at 5pm in the neighborhood.


Lots of folks put quite the efforts into their Halloween displays.

And occasionally, the streets got pretty busy. Note all the "wagons" parked.


The wagon was used to haul candy versus anything else.

Another spooky house as it got dark. We actually made it a solid two hours with minimal bickering.


Nearing the end of the night, of course it is Carter the one doing all the work pulling his older brother back home.

Carters 3rd B-Day and Other Randomness

A stroll down to Lou Malnati's on birthday eve...

Thanks Uncle Brad and Aunt Carolyn for the Lego's.



Eating the yummy birthday cupcake cake.


Train ride to the Tivoli in Downers Grove for (as Carter wanted on his birthday), "wear funny shoes and drink soda." Or in other words, bowling. And somehow, he remembered from months ago when he was there he got his own 75 cent soda. (yes, we are model parents).


I think the soda was the highlight.



Apparently walking to, and then waiting for the train was not thrilling.


Walking to the school park for some soccer.

Fun at the Arboretum.

Apparently, it takes two to carry the kettle korn.

Random



Just some random pics/videos.


The crazy quality of the HD video camera embedded inside the iPhone4 (not sure it will upload in same HD quality). Excuse the orientation as this was just a test and i was rotating phone...but this thing will likely replace our full time video camera much of the time;, as its always on me, is HD, and captures a ton of video. When most of the time, all you want is 5-10 minutes of something that is going on. Supposedly this thing will shoot up to 30-60 minutes.




Fun with cousins in Cleveland.


All but one cousin, plus a second cousin.

Last Fling

Shots from Naperville's Last Fling over Labor Day...



Labor Day Parade

Fun at the new park with grandma...


The latest favorite activity - riding big wheels (not bikes) through the neighborhood to one of the parks...Connor wants to take it to the "band" park...but that would entail going through the core of downtown, and thats not going to happen on big wheels.
