Here are our pumpkins for this year. Ben carved an angry bird (on the left). This is from the video game, Angry Birds. Dave carved an owl on his. Joey and Chloe had Darth Vader on theirs (no photo)

Ben's Birthday 2

The day after his birthday, Ben had a few friends come over to go to the movies. We went to see Real Steel, a movie about a father and son and robot boxing. We had the theater to ourselves which was great for 6 noisy boys. Ben requested a dino cake which turned out vey cute. It is a stegosaurus with candy corns for spikes and teeth.
The boys had fun with the sphere!
Happy 14th Birthday, Ben!

Ben's Birthday 1

We celebrated Ben's birthday by going out to dinner to Carraba's. We had cheesecake back at the house. Ben received a Hoberman Sphere for his birthday. This is a collapsible sphere that is very fun to play with. You can see Joey enjoyed it.

Happy Halloween 2011

Benjamin and I made a dino costume for him to wear for Halloween. He wore his costume to school but did not go trick or treating. Halloween was cold and rainy not a nice evening for walking around the neighborhood. Here is the Halloween dog sporting his candy corn bandana.
