Devils and Trains

Angela here!  I needed a week to recover from Halloween before I could write another blog.  Children are way too exhausting.  And when you dress them up in costumes, make them run around the neighborhood in cold-rainy weather and then extend their bedtime, a mama needs time to recover.  But we had a good Halloween.  A little dramatic, but that seems to be the norm these days.  Hudson and cousin Anderson were devils and baby Claire was an angel.  The boys did justice as they took their pitchforks and gladly poked everyone...

The best family photo I could get.  Notice how every baby is doing something odd with their mouth....very strange.

We tried ever so hard to make Hudson wear his devil-horns but he was just not having it.  He screamed, he kicked, he rolled around on the ground, and then he pulled them right off.  But as soon as the hat came off, he was happy Hudson again.  

 After pizza and pictures, we packed up the boys and headed out.  It started to rain so Hud got to wear his firefighter raincoat.  Two costumes for the price of one!

On Saturday, we went to EnterTRAINment Junction.  It's the world's largest indoor model-train display. And on top of that awesomeness, there is a jungle gym, a fun-house maze and trains to ride on.  Hudson and Anderson had some good quality cousin-bonding time.

They rode trains together....

They watched model trains with their daddies...

They trick-or-treated together...

 

They climbed through tunnels and up rock walls together.  It's bittersweet to watch these two.  I love how adventurous they are and how Hudson is always on a mission to keep up with his big cousin.  But I feel like he is growing up at an exponential speed.  What happened to my baby boy?  STOP growing up!! 

   

And my favorite picture of them all!

 Happy Friday!  Hope everyone has a great weekend!
