backtracking a few weeks...FSU game

So, Brian is a HUGE Florida State Seminoles football fan (somedays HUGE is an understatement)!  Since I have known him I have thought that he was just living in his college days of National Champions because he would always have such high hopes and I never would see the team live up to the hype....until this year....  So, after a weekend in Tallahassee with his boys he decided to become a Booster, get season tickets, and we would rent a RV to take our family and the Robinsons to a game.

 Cole and Bryn checking out the RV.  Bryn was so excited about it all day and was ready to go when Cole got here.  But after only a few minutes on the road it was easy to see this was a great way to travel 4 hours with the kids!

 The next morning was cold when we walked to Brooklyn Water Bagel for breakfast (Brian's new favorite spot)  We found this cool Seminole tribute.

 Brian found these shorts when we shopped in the morning and LOVED them!  I was just glad he didn't want the pant version....he did get constant compliments on them and saw one other guy at a nearby RV with them also.  So now this is his new game day attire.

 We sent the boys on a mission to get tickets from Will Call and hoped they returned with napping children....well, I got my wish!  Cole was so funny trying to get that helmet on!

Go Noles!

Pumpkins and Halloween

We headed to pick out our pumpkins the day before Halloween.  With the heat of Florida, we learned last year to wait to get our pumpkin and carve it just before Halloween so that it doesn't rot!  Bryn was already in part of her costume from costume day at gymnastics.

 She searched the whole lot

 This bumpy one was her favorite - she liked these last year too!

 Bresnan just liked to try to eat the straw

 Digging in right away

 New meaning of double-fisting

 No guts, no glory

 Bresnan got in the mix.  These pictures were literally seconds apart!

 And he's off to something new.  Loved the seed on his butt!

 We used a paper pattern this year to carve our pumpkin.

On Halloween we decided  to paint the other little pumpkins we bought.

 Bresnan couldn't keep his hands out of the blue.  

Had to keep the pacifier in his mouth so he wouldn't eat it!

 I am not sure if more paint was on their bodies or the pumpkins!

We got ready for Halloween.  Bryn was Tinkerbell and Bresnan was a football.

 Trick or Treat

 They really do think each other is funny

 scary faces!

I gave Bryn a handful of glitter to use as pixie dust.  Here is her jumping!

 You can see it falling on her head :)

Our happy family - and Marley came and sat with us without being called!
