We're still here

So, it's been almost a month since I last posted on here. I get online all the time to put pictures up, then I spend so much time looking at everyone else's blogs that I never do anything with my own. Well, here I am.

I haven't even put up our Halloween pictures. Here's a couple. It was fun because my mom was visiting. She was our official 'candy hander-outer'. I don't know whether or not we'll go through the neighborhood again next year, it was pretty traumatic this year. There were some very frightening costumes and the boys got really spooked. There was one person who's mask altered his voice when he talked into it, we saw him a couple times and he growled at the boys, which I thought was rude! Then, Grant was trailing behind us when I heard him screaming. I looked back to see this rude guy again, but this time CHASING Grant. Come on! I picked up Grant and then yelled at him and told him how mean that was (it was probably my neighbor, oh well). Grant was freaked out. Halloween is supposed to be fun, but if my kids are going to get scared to death, I would rather do something else.

Here's my mom with the kiddos.
We took a trip to OMSI (the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) - such a cool place! Grant, in some sort of space shuttle thing, I had to bribe him to get him out. My little chickies.We decided to take the light rail into Portland this time. The child/adult ratio was 3/3, so it went well. But I swear I will NEVER go into Portland on the train by myself with the kids. I may have to though, because we told Grant that if he goes potty on the toilet, he can ride the train. On this day, he actually did go on the toilet, which was AMAZING and very exciting, but it hasn't happened again, boo!

And to top it off, here's my cute girl with a cheerio on her nose
