Evan
Ah of course, the choo-choos. It took all day, but we finally got Evan in his costume. We re-used Evan's birthday choo-choos, stuck them on a diaper box, added some flash lights and duct tape, used our Thomas the Tank Engine Remote, and added a hat we got when we went to the Antique Engine show in Brooks to see Grandma's cousin.
I know this was at the Seaside Beach resort with Grandma and Grandpa, but I don't know where. But this picture does show his cutie-pie side.
This was at the leather store in Seaside where he was excited about finding an Indiana Jones hat! He loved showing anyone and everyone who was in the store.
This is my stinker Evan. He's two and enough said! I think in the last few weeks, I have started to see the light at the end of the tantrum tunnel. He has really been doing well learning his colors, shapes, and letters lately. He has also adjusted to not having Caden around while he is at pre-school. He pretty much wrestles the dogs most of time. Of course, all of the pre-school parents know Evan since he is the one running up and down the halls. They try to help me distract him while I pick-up or drop-off Caden. His energy his difficult to deal with now, but he is very sweet and I know his energy will pay-off in the long run.

Caden
Sorry it's been so long folks, here's a brief update from our neck of the woods...
Caden at the beach with Grandma and Grandpa. He loved flying his kite and the Disney channel. He was sad when we had to leave and kept wanting to go back to our room with Grandpa and Grandma (who had already left).
This was the year of home-made costumes (at least for Caden and Evan). Thank goodness for diaper boxes, duct tape, and toilet paper rolls!! Caden was supposed to take his costume to pre-school for a fashion show, but he wouldn't bring it in. He didn't care that he was the only one without a costume. I think he was concerned about it staying nice which was really wise since the box was starting to deteriorate by the time trick or treating started.
Yes, Caden has started pre-school. He loves it! Here he is on his first field trip to the pumpkin patch. We were lucky that Daddy was able to take him. The best story so far happened the 2nd week of school. Caden really wanted to go outside and play with the big kids during their recess. Well, the bathrooms have doors that lead to the outside and Caden took himself to recess without his teacher's knowledge. The head of the Salem-Keizer Pre-school department also plays in Salem Concert Band with me and was talking to the oboeist. She was telling her about how some little boy went out to recess so they had to go into all of the schools and put big huge stop signs on all doors that a pre-schooler could potentionally leave through. The oboeist knew it was Caden since I had already told her this story and said, "Hey, that was Caden!" I like to look at the situation like he's just doing his part to make the world a better and safer place:)
