So Wyatt runs to me in dismay.

"Mommy, Mommy," he says, "The box of Halloween cookies fell off the counter and they are all broken."

"It's okay," I say, "They will still taste the same."

"Yeah," he says. "But they won't have any faces or body parts."

Bummer.

So the boys LOVE their bath time toys.

Two of the regulars are "Daddy Duck" and "Mommy Penguin."

Tonight they added a new friend, "Pa Pig."

He is "dirty and naughty."

(Not sure if this is a reflection on the person he is named after)

So I made the boys grilled cheese sandwiches for supper.

Wyatt asks for seconds. He says it with a mouthful of food so it comes out kind of garbled, like "I want another girled cheese."

Colt turns to me in disgust and says, "I want a BOY cheese."

So Daddy is back for the weekend.

Colt brings one of his favorite bears over to Joe.

He says, "This bear is not crying. His daddy is home."

So....bits and pieces of the pirate costumes have begun to arrive in the mail via ebay.

We have been wearing the pirate hats in the yard a good bit this week.

I think Wyatt misheard what the pirates on TV have been saying, because he has been running around with stick in hand yelling, "Ahoy, ladies."

Accident, may not. Today my pirate boots arrived and Colt insisted on wearing them. Perhaps it is, "Ahoy, ladies" after all.

So Wyatt has chosen the family Halloween costumes for 2011...insert drum roll...Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

He will be Jake, of course. Colt will be Cubby. Mommy will be Izzy, because she is the only girl. Baby will be the bird.

"Who will Daddy be?" I ask. "Captain Hook!" he says.

So apparently Spiderman gets frustrated.

Wyatt has worn his new costume since the moment it arrived in the mail from Uncle Jeff.

He even insisted we go buy Spidey gloves today.

The only drawback, the mask. He gets tired of it after a while.

Tonight he said, "This face is driving me crazy. It is really getting on my nerves."

We hear ya oh webbed one.
