Trick or treat 2011

Ok... I know so many pictures of our little Fireman... but finally monday night was trick or treat here in DC! Frank walked around door to door with daddy for about an hour, while Charlie and mommy passed out candy. It was such a nice night here (weird after the snow)... Happy Halloween 2011

Class Halloween Party

Today was Frank's pre-school Halloween Party! It was so cute to see all he costumes on all his friends (especially the little princesses). Frank and friends seemed to have a great time at their party... I think they will be ready for trick or treat tonight! Frank has NOT been into getting his picture taken lately... so i could only get "action shots" hopefully he will be more cooperative tonight...

The party could have also been called a "fireman party" Charlie and Frank as firemen

EVEN More Firemen! We had a rescue squad

Snack Time!

Air and Scare

Today we went to the Air and Space Museum for "Air and Scare". We arrived at the PERFECT time... we didn't have to wait... walked right in and had a great time! A we arrived however it was SNOWING! who would have ever thought SNOW on Halloween! Good thing it was a perfect "indoor" trick or treat activity!

Charlie went casual in a Buzz onsie

Fireman Frank

My friend Katie accompanied us! I think it is safe to say... if you come anywhere with us... and you don't have children... you are carrying Charlie! HaHa

Michael Burns visit

My good friend Michael Burns was in town for a wedding... so Friday we were able to visit with him! It was great catching up with Michael he is always so much fun!

Charlie thought he was pretty fun as well... (Frank/Michael Flashback)

Michael then offered to carry Charlie around... it was too cute not to snap a picture

he is really getting used to this DC lifestyle...

Charlie

Charlie is mobile... which means trouble... but he is extra cute

He also has an -odd- habit when riding in shopping carts....

what a silly little guy!

Gymnastics Open Gym

Tuesday we went to "Open Gym" at a local gymnastics club... it was fabulous! Frank had a great time... he didn't want to leave!

Frank and the trampoline into the cheese pit!

We've been Boo-ed

This week we were "boo-ed"by our neighbors!

Frank was really excited for the present at our door! (you can't tell by the picture... he has been anti-camera smiles lately)

Look at all those goodies!

so as the sign said... we had to repeat to two of our neighbors... Frank was so excited to help me! we made little packages and then left them on two lucky neighbors doorsteps! what a cute idea! we will definitely repeat this next year!

National Zoo

Sunday we decided to meet up with my friend Megs and her kiddos for a National Zoo Trip. The boys had a great time, the weather was perfect, the animals were out. It was a very fun morning while daddy had to work. We should probably get a membership and go a lot more often!

Butler's Orchard

Friday Frank did not have school, so we went to Butler's Orchard {the pumpkin patch of DC} with his classmate Charlie (how many Frank's and Charlie's can we have here!?). It was a great time, so much to do I didn't even take pictures of everything! The boys had a blast and were throughly exhausted the rest of the afternoon! In our house we are -REALLY- into Charlie Brown... of Frank5 is EXTREMELY into Charlie Brown, Great Pumpkin, Thanksgiving, Christmas... you name it.... I have always said he is such a Linus... and when he saw this sign he ran up to it... so excited and shouted, "WELCOME GREAT PUMPKIN!!"

"The Great Pumpkin! Is it coming here mom!?"
