Jeans

I asked Carson and Owen to get dressed while I was giving Isaac and Stella a bath. I started getting Isaac dressed after his bath, but I couldn't find his jeans. I searched all over the floor. I retraced my tracks from the bedrooms to the family room (where I was dressing Ike.) No jeans. I saw that one of the big boy's jeans were on the floor. I could see that Carson was dressed so of course I started telling Owen to get dressed. He throws the blanket off his lap and stands up to show me he was dressed.

I found Isaac's jeans. A little short for Owen, but they fit perfectly around his waist.

It was an honest mistake.

Time for Change

It's time for a change in the Wright house. It's bittersweet, but much needed and a little overdue.

It seems like just yesterday my babies were sleeping like this.

Or this.

So how can they be sleeping like this now?

My babies are no longer babies, but are truly just little kids. (sniffle. sniffle.)

Good-bye cribs. Hello big kid beds.

PS Carson and Owen have also graduated to a bunk bed.

Halloween 2010

Yoda, Princess Leia, Anakin Skywalker, and Darth Vader.

The Wright kids had a great Halloween. The weather was perfect, the kids were excited and lots of candy was received.

Carson and Owen decided they were going to be Star Wars characters for Halloween early in the summer. This of course meant Isaac and Stella would follow suit. Carson was Anakin Skywalker. Owen: Darth Vader, Stella: Princess Leia, and Isaac was Yoda. The FORCE was strong Halloween night.

We went to the Samway's house before trick-or-treating. Their neighbors all get together and have chili, hot dogs and sweets before hitting the streets. This year the festivities were held in Samway's garage. We crashed the party. It was fun for our kids to see their cousins dressed up for Halloween. They loved playing with all the neighborhood kids as well.

We trick-or-treated in our neighborhood. The kids did great! Carson was so excited that he would run up to every house. He would then patiently wait for his brothers and sister to catch up before ringing the doorbell. Isaac and Stella walked to every house and never once complained about being tired. I don't think Stella and Isaac remember much about trick-or-treat from previous years. I'm not sure they realized that trick-or-treating meant they would be getting lots and lots of candy (something they don't get at home), but I'm pretty sure they will not forget what it means when Halloween rolls around next year. They had a blast this year! (As did their older brothers.)

Wichita cousins

Yoda bamboozles Uncle Scott into helping him make a shot. This went on all afternoon. Poor Uncle Scott. Yoda can be so irresistible!

Hot dogs and cookies. Mmmm!

Samway's neighbor kids.

Trick-or-treat!

Headed home.

Stella and Isaac share a sucker. It was so cute listening to them tell each other how good the candy was.
