What do you get when you try to take a really nice fall pictures of 2 small boys?

Need I say more?

Stink-or-Treat?

Who wouldn't answer the door for the cutest skunk (Luca) and dinosaur (Luca's friend Brady) on the block?
Nico was the true "stinker" on Halloween! Aside from riding in his stroller or the wagon, he had enough Halloween after about 5 minutes in his costume. This face matched his attitude. Despite a case of the crabbies, he rocked his costume almost all day.

Mike and I were the "skunk keepers" for Halloween, and thanks to the clothespins on our noses, I didn't smell a thing all day!

Luca kept saying what a fun day it was, and I would have to agree...What a sweet skunk!

Happy Halloween!

You Spin Me Right Round Baby

MY little monkey

Mmmmm...Mr. Independent

I'm not a HUGE fan of dirty children...Ha! But with Nico's current stage of independence, I have no other choice but to deal. Here he chooses to forego the use of his spoon for that of his fist while eating oatmeal. The camera doesn't do justice to what a mess his face was!

A rare day...

...that my boys are feeling photogenic and content enough to sit together for longer than a sneeze. Could it be the frozen treat Luca is snacking on and keeps feeding to Nico?
Feeling very silly!

I love how Luca is opening his mouth as he's feeding Nico.

Happy boys...oh how I love these faces (especially their smiles).

Busted

mmmm...beer
What? I wasn't doing anything!

I have a feeling he'll have the same look on his face in 20 years when I catch him opening the door to the wine fridge!
