Halloween

It starts! George and Henry's first trick or treat outing, with their older cousins. George excited about his Batman costume. Henry refusing to dress up. Both apprehensive about going up to the houses but by the end they were running to the next one. Personally, I feel uneasy about the 2year old getting choccies without dressing up, but at least he said 'Tick eh eeet'.
Now how to ration out the goodies...

Happy 2nd Bday

Happy Birthday, Henry! What a boy you've become.... Here's your 'bobbie' cake - the cake being merely the vehicle for delivering out-of-season berries. He dove into the festivities without really understanding why - good for him!

Pictureless

My camera is broken! So during the weeks it takes to have it mended, I will have to suffice with written updates.
The boys are definitely brothers now - both holding their own during the 'MINE!' tug-o-wars they have over, well, anything. But they also comfort each other with their favorite stuffed toy, and enjoy singing songs together. And DH adds that neither one stops talking! They're lucky to have each other.

Another day, another park

Childhood

It's inevitable that at the end of the day, their precious items have a 'bath' in the frontloading washing machine. George's Sharkie and blue blankey (aka 'manny'), Henry's chicken and wabbit. Minutes before bedtime I can hear George in the utility room watching manny go round and round. "Oh! Manny, manny, manny... awwwwwww. There's chicken... Ooooh! Manny! manny!....Awwwww. There's rabbit. Ooooh! Manny! Manny! Mann... awwwww...."

Here are a few shots from a day at Plantasia, Warwickshire.

Henry is talking a lot and making his wishes quite well known. George oscillates between being the caring and jealous older brother. Both of them love berries and running around outside.

Ahhh - to be young - at not so young - again!
