Beach Boys

So we went to the beach to get family portraits done. I followed the photographer around and got some snapshots...... Pretty good, if I say so myself! :-)

And what trip to the beach would be complete without cartwheels?

Hi-ya! Karate boys!

And to think - they've never been to a karate lesson in their lives....
:-)

And poor Abby, in the background. Sniffing one of the boys' socks. Just happy as can be! This just makes me laugh. And makes me so happy I'm the mom of two boys!

New Camera! Halloween, birthday, etc.....

SPOOKY!

So yay, I got my new camera. So I was able to take some photos this past weekend for Halloween and Andrew's birthday. Of course, the card that came with the camera holds all of 11 photos. And the super gigabyte card that I ordered hasn't come yet. And the super gig card that I currently have isn't the same size, so I couldn't take out from one and substitute another.... Anyhow....

Andrew wore a giant red lego costume. He was completely fabulous! Of course, as he was walking down the street, he whined and said he wished he was a skeleton. Which is what Colin wore as a costume. It's hard to be scary when you have a blond mop on top of your head...... The only thing about Andrew being in a box was that he could not reach into a bowl of Halloween candy and then put it in his Halloween bag... I ended up being the bag lady.

And his party was at the Pirate Park. This is where Colin had his party back in May - it was Andrew's choice. It was so much fun. Even I had fun, and NO STRESS. His cake was the BOMB, according to a bunch of 7 and 8 year olds. Yes, those are worms coming out of the skeleton eyes. All I can say is, "Ewww, gross!" (Which of course meant that it was sure to be a hit!) And then we went to Carrabas for dinner. I so love that place. I could have picked up my plate and LICKED IT so that I didn't leave any sauce. Of course, that would be bad manners and as the former DOP (Director of Protocol) I couldn't do that......could I?
