trunk or treat and beyond

Backtracking to last week, we took the boys trunk or treating on Halloween. A church downtown advertised the event, and there were 10 whole cars there with candy which would have probably disappointed most kids. For us, it was the perfect amount. Lewis was a lion. Though it took a while to get used to wearing his costume, once we were outside he forgot about it and even roared for some of the people who gave us candy. He went from car to car signing "please candy" and ended up with a nice stash.


Owen, on the other hand, was dressed in Lewis' old tuxedo costume. We called him the 'lion tamer' but he mostly just rode around in the stroller. He seemed happy with everything like usual.


Since then, the boys have been under the weather. We finally took them to the doctor today and discovered that Lewis has an ear infection in one ear, and Owen is congested with a cough which thankfully means he can avoid antibiotics for now. He may be sleeping in the car seat for the next few nights though at the suggestion of the doctor!

They've both been in pretty good spirits despite their coughing and sneezing. Owen is loving spending some time in our jumper thing. He doesn't really jump, but he does wander around and just loves being in the upright position. Here's picture with Lewis and daddy.
