Scarecrows

Brennan passed out before trick or treating began.

Mason loved carving the pumpkin. He didn't like touching the insides though!

Mason and Brennan were scarecrows for Halloween. We had a full day of trick or treating. During the day I took the boys to a shopping center were they had activities for children. That was a good practice run for Mason! After naps, we headed to the other Chiovaro’s house for dinner. We had a Halloween themed dinner: Witches fingers (mozzarella sticks), mummy dogs, night crawlers and eyeballs (spaghetti and meatballs), purple people eater punch and eyeball jelly (jello jigglers). It was a lot of fun! We then went trick or treating around Rick and Cathy’s neighborhood. Mason got the idea very quickly and was eager to open the candy. He has become very independent and wanted to walk by himself down the dark roads and steep stairs. He tells me “no, I got it” or “by myself”.

Other news, Brennan loves food! He eats a variety of fruits and veggies now. He has also tried a pretzel rod and graham cracker. He gets very frustrated if other people are eating and he doesn’t have anything. Brennan is close to crawling. He scoots backwards very well and in fact can go backwards across a room. He can get up on all fours and move his knees forward. He has not quite figured out his arms yet, thank goodness! Brennan loves Mason! He thinks his big brother is very funny. Mason also enjoys Brennan and often says “Bren watch this” and then performs some stunt. Brennan is a joy and a very happy boy!
