Happy Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun this year.  It was just us Walker's this year.  We went to a festival at our favorite babysitter's church, then went door to door in the neighborhood and spent the remainder of the evening passing out candy. 

Some highlights were Zach playing games at the festival and passing out candy later on.  "Hey Kids, we have candy", "Come over here guys", "Hey, guys, come over here, we have candy"

This was how Zachary called the trick or treaters to our door as he ran up and down the sidewalk.

Here is a video of Zach "Boom-Tackling" on the jolly jump.

Silly Hat Parade

Zachary's pre-school held a "Silly Hat Parade" instead of Halloween Costume parade.  We went to the school, helped him design a hat, then cheered during the parade.  It is always fun to see Zach in his school environment.  I secretly wish it was a Halloween Costume parade but this was still fun to do with him.

Zachary's Big Debut

Here is Zachary's big debut!
Despite his practicing for weeks, he didn't sing a single word of the song.
But he looked cute and we are still very proud!

Bueller? Bueller?

Umm...hello...anyone out there?  I have lots of great things to share about Zach and Brady but I have not had the energy at the end of the day to share it all on the blog.  I keep thinking I only want to do the blog if I can do it perfectly, but that is not realistic for this time in my life.  So my perfect is now going to be measured on the perfectly acceptable scale.

So the answer to the eternal question are two kids more to handle than just one......YES, YES and YES.  I crash hard after they go to bed, (ahhh bedtime!).....for two or three minutes that I get back up and start doing housework.  I don't think I was fully prepared for the amount of work is involved when you have three other people in your life who you are taking care of.  And the Laundry: WHAT!  and then you have to put it all away!  That, my friend, is the worst part of laundry.  Sometimes it all just feels like Groundhogs day.  Do all the work, then wake up the next day and start it all over again the next day.  BUT I wouldn't have it any other way.  Just maybe add a few more closets....and a maid.  And Wha-Lah! 

But two is even more rewarding than I could have ever imagined.  These two boys make me laugh and smile everyday.  Even when I am not with them, I think about them, then laugh and smile.  They are wonderful.  I love so many things in my life, but I think one of the things that tops the list is being the mother of two little boys.
