I'm so excited! One of my favorite blogs, 5 Minutes for Moms, is doing a huge Christmas Give-away with really cool prizes. Enter there to win a really cool diaper bag, a Joovy stroller, a pedal car, and lots of other prizes! Here's where to go: Christmas Giveaway 2007
Late breaking news: We've cancelled our home phone line and will be using just our cell phones from here on out. So if you don't have our cell, drop me an email and I'll hook you up! We cancelled it for a couple reasons, one being to save some money. We were paying for a cell phone line in addition to the home line and just found it excessive. The cell plan we have is great and we have over 4,000 rollover minutes that have accrued from non-use. So now I have lots of talk time to burn, so call me! :)
Hmm, what else? Oh, we went to a bonfire party at Isabell's that past weekend. Grace and Mom had been hard at work baking and Dad provided some yummy chili. Jackson was thrilled to have this special treat made just for him!

Also, enjoy some photos from Liam's little photo shoot I did the other day. He's going to be 10 months old on 11/11! Eek!
We were fortunate to go pumpkin picking twice this year! Our first outing was to Bobwhite Acres in Quakertown. We originally set out for apple picking there, but once Jackson saw there was a tractor drawn hayride to a pumpkin patch, apples were a thing of the past. It was a cute little local farm and had some great pumpkins. Must say it was strange pumpkin picking in warm weather!
Our next trip a couple weeks later was to Nonesuch Farms, where we typically go as a family. They go all out there with pony rides, music, food, games, etc.. We went on a horse drawn hayride for some variety this time. We picked out the best pumpkins we could find... again... Jackson is too funny when searching out pumpkins. He puts a lot of thought into it and also have a lot of concern over the squashed and battered pumpkins. It's like he wants to give them a good home. Sadly I didn't get many good pickures because the camera battery died out before we even got out to the patch. This is all I got...
A couple weeks ago I was out at the store and found a nifty pack of microwave caramel for making caramel apples. So we cheated! I thought it would be the easiest way to have Jackson involved. He had a blast making them. They were de-lish too!
OK, I stink at this! I don't know what it is about it, but I just am having commitment struggles to blogging. I'd love to blog ever day or so, but just get distracted with... life... I'll keep trying though!
So yesterday was Halloween! Jackson was more into it this year. Last year it was cool to have him knock on doors and collect candy (for me!) but this year he was in it for himself. He wanted to be Buzz Lighter (when given the selection at Target.) Liam was a monkey. We went around our development with our friends Julianne, Travis, Gabriela and their new baby Claire. It was fun! Some of the houses were a little spooky for the kids - Jackson went up to one in particular that had Halloween music coming from a garage that was only partially opened. The lights were out except for a few leading up the path, and there a scary jester clown dude was giving out candy. Jackson grabbed and ran exlaiming, "Let's get out of here guys!" I love the things he says anymore! Liam was along for the ride and did a great job being held the whole time. :)

Last week the boys and I met with Mimi and Aunt Grace for a trip to the New Jersey State Aquarium. The first most exciting thing to Jackson was that Aunt Grace was coming! The next most exciting thing for him was seeing the sharks. I love the aquarium, and love to take my time seeing everything, but Jackson had one thing on his mind: Sharks. And now. So at a dreaded snail pace for Jackson we managed to get somewhat of a glimpse of the exhibits before reaching the shark tunnel. Jackson went through it and decided it wasn't that exciting. Or maybe it was a little too exciting. Either way, he didn't want to look at the sharks too much. Liam was great through the entire adventure ~ his favorite was the jelly fish. The lighting was amazing on them. They were lit with just a black light - very cool. It was too difficult to capture a picture of. Well thanks for the outing Mimi! We had a blast!
I think they boys are going to have similar hair styles judging from the little swirl Liam is already working on. Check out the last picture!
I thought it was so cute that Jackson was *sharing* his old Wiggles car with Liam. It's more age appropriate to Liam now and I was explaining that it was going to be his from now on, but that they could certainly share it together. Well Jack wanted to take Liam for a ride while singing loudly. Not sure what Liam didn't like, the ride, or the song? I'm guessing the song. Have you heard Jack sing! (hehee)
