Pumpkins and Tractors!

Cade is driving to place his painted pumpkin on the porch!
Carson is too!

Cade is showing me where he put them!

Carson considers moving his!

These silly boys love to pretend! They are "getting the mail" as they pick up all the pine straw from our driveway!

Apparently, we have a lot of mail in our driveway!

We also wound up with a sting of mushrooms in our yard this week!

Carson and Cade are playing on the top bunk!

Carson is about to throw Cade's Elmo!

Not too happy that it's time to get down to eat!

This is actually a different day with different Khaki pants and the same little jacket! The boys wanted to go check their pumpkins! They have parked here at the steps and are able to back up and turn around and follow the curvy sidewalk back to the driveway - such good little 2 year old drivers. They are also excellent backseat drivers. They love to sit on "Mommy's side", and I try to explain to them that both sides are Mommy's sides b/c it is Mommy's van! They still cry sometimes though. I just tell Carson his side is the driver's side and Cade his side is the passenger's side and Mommy sits on the driver's side some and the passenger side some!

Speaking of driving . . . They love to learn and teach! They are constantly "teaching" (or retelling) each other what they've recently heard from me or Kevin! They love to tell me at traffic lights when I have to stop, slow down, or go based on the color! So the other night they noticed on their pillow shams (the big pillows that I leave lined up on the floor right by the edge of the bed for when Cade falls out - he doesn't do that much anymore =) that there's a stop sign (colored red) and a yield sign (colored yellow). Carson said that means stop and that means slow down pointing to each one, respectively! And it just happened that the next day they were learning about yield signs (really just triangles, but come on these boys have known their shapes for a long time now) in DayCare and were able to tell Mrs. Debbie what they knew (even when they colored the yield sign red like it's supposed to be)!

They decided to move those pumpkins! (Notice our "Welcome" wreath on the front door has slid all the way down the glass in all the pictures - I decided to leave it there since that is better than on the mat where it used to always end up!)

Cade decided to put his back and direct Carson to move his over there (as he points)!

Then he moves over to show Carson exactly where it should go!

Then we went for a "walk"!

Carson and Cade driving by our house!

Playing in the Cul-de-sac!

Running up and down the little hill where they parked their tractors (before we tried to finish our walk and Carson's battery died and I had to push him back down the road)!
