Costumes

Below are the pictures we got last weekend at Picture People.

Ryan is the dinosaur and Connor is Elmo.

In the below picture Ryan is a fireman and Connor is an aviator.

Trick-or-Treating

Happy Halloween Everyone! Connor and Ryan absolutely loved trick-or-treating.

Below is a picture of trick-or-treating at our next door neighbor's house.

And then there is the loot, lots and lots of loot. The boys enjoyed looking (and eating!) through all their goodies when the got home.

Below is Ryan with a sucker in his mouth and melted chocolate all over his face.

And Connor.... there is nothing like eating three suckers AT THE SAME TIME! He would lick one then switch to another. I am surprised they got to sleep with all the sugar they ate tonight.

Halloween at the Office

My group at work didn't win any prizes for our costumes, but I think we look pretty good. My group was dressed up as Star Wars. We all got a $5 Starbucks gift card for dressing up.

Halloween Party

On Sunday, we went to the Gemini Crickets Halloween Party at Theme Fest. In the below picture, Connor is Elmo and Ryan is a dinosaur.

Lemos Farm

On Saturday we went to yet another pumpkin patch. Grandma and Grandpa joined us at Lemos Farm in Half Moon Bay.

We went on a spooky train ride through a ghost town. Before we even got to the pumpkin patch, Ryan told me that we had to ride the train. His favorite part of any pumpkin patch is the train! Good thing this one had a train! Below is Ryan looking at the ghost town from the train.

Below are is Connor at the pumpkin patch.

Uesugi Farm

Today we went to Uesugi Farm Pumpkin Patch in Morgan Hill.

We got one big pumpkin and Connor and Ryan picked out their own mini pumpkins.

The boys enjoyed climbing on the hay, running through the flowers and picking out pumpkins.

Above is Connor running through the flowers and below is Ryan sitting on a pumpkin.

Clowns

I love this picture because it shows off Connor's big blue eyes. Connor absolutely hated this costume and couldn't wait to get it off. He didn't like it because the hat was too big and kept falling in his face.

Ryan wasn't thrilled with his clown costume either. He is set on being a dinosaur for Halloween and didn't want anything to do with this one. Needless to say, they will not be wearing these costumes for Halloween. I thought they were cute, though.

Soccer

Soccer is back.
Today was the second week of soccer for this season. Soccer is available through the twins club in both Fall and Spring.
The boys get so excited talking about soccer before and after they play, but during soccer, they are more distracted by wanting to play on the playground or wanting a snack.
Hint: Ryan is in orange and Connor is in blue.

Chuck E Cheese's

Tonight we took Connor and Ryan to Chuck E Cheese's for dinner and playtime. The boys thought it was the best restaurant and told us we need to come back again.

In the picture below, the boys are riding a simulated roller coaster. They are putting their hands up on the ride down on the roller coaster.

Shell Beach

The kids had a blast at Shell Beach. The kids (and Mary and Chris) played in the waves and got soaked. In the picture below, you can see how wet everyone is getting. Luckily, it was a warm day.
Below, Uncle Chris is waiting for a wave with Connor.
In the picture below, Chris, Connor, Ryan and Dani are searching for hermit crabs. They caught a lot, but let them all go before we left.

In the video below, the kids (big and little) are enjoying the waves. And, yes, Aunt Mary is wearing her shoes in the water.

Cousins

Here are some cute pictures of the cousins ... Cody, Danielle, Ryan and Connor.

Seals at the Pier! - Avila Beach

We (Len, Mary, Cody, Dani, Chris, Connor, Ryan and Daneya) went to Avila Pier to see the seals. Below is a picture of Connor and Ryan looking down at the seals.

Below is a picture of Connor, Ryan, Cody and Danielle looking down at the seals. Aunt Mary was freaking out with the kids getting so close to the edge. She was hovering over the kids ready to grab them.
And this is the seal the kids were hanging over the edge of the pier to see.

Camping at Granny and Grandpa's House

Grandpa set up a tent in the living room, and Connor and Ryan slept in the tent ... just like camping!

Chumash Park - Pismo Beach

I took a week off of work and spent Saturday through Thursday down in Arroyo Grande/Pismo Beach. Mary, Len, Dani and Cody were also there to spend time with Grandma after Cody's surgery. My brother, Chris also came up for a visit to see everyone. In the picture below, Connor and Chris are playing in the sand at Chumash Park.
Ryan was playing with his sand toys and ended up throwing his shovel away in the garbage. Ryan threw a fit because he lost his shovel, so Aunt Mary came to the rescue and went through the garbage can to retrieve the shovel.

The Pumpkins!

Here are the pumpkins after they were decorated... Mr. Pumpkin Heads!

Spina Farms Pumpkin Patch

Today we to Spina Farms Pumpkin Patch in San Jose.

There were lots of pumpkins, haystacks and a train to ride.

Below are pictures from the pick-your-own pumpkin field. In addition to all the pre-cut pumpkins, we were able to walk out to see all the pumpkins still on the vines.
Connor and Ryan wanted to hold my hand on the way back from the pumpkin field because they kept tripping over the pumpkins, vines and dirt.

The little pumpkins next to Connor and Ryan are the ones that they picked to bring home to decorate.

We plan to go to some of the Half Moon Bay pumpkin patches later in October, so stay tuned for more pumpkin pictures...
