Mr. Personality

Whenever people are around Kekoa acts like he is calm and well-behaved. Behind closed doors he is a completely different person. I love his little personality and sass. He makes me laugh so hard sometimes and I can't help but be grateful that he is such a goof-ball.

Here are a couple of pictures of him being himself.

Alter Egos

For Halloween this year we decided at the last minute on costumes for the boys. We thought it would be funny if they were alter egos of each other. So I introduce to you Clark Kent and Superman.

I love the picture of the two of them because of the look on Makaio's face and the way that Kekoa is looking at him.

On Halloween night we only went to two houses because we attended a Trunk-or-Treat at our church the Saturday before Halloween. Makaio didn't really care about getting candy in his pumpkin because sitting in the driver's seat of the suburban and playing with the steering wheel was too good to pass up. Kekoa on the other hand loved it! At first he didn't realize that each vehicle would be handing out candy so he kept going back to the same vehicle (about 7 times) before Sterling could convince him to move on. Once he realized that each person was going to give him candy he was in heaven.

Our First Pumpkin Patch

In college I worked on a farm that had a pumpkin patch and other festivities all during the month of October. I loved seeing families enjoy their time on the farm. I don't know if I ever thought that someday I would take my own children to a pumpkin patch but we did just that a few weekends ago and it was so much fun. The boys loved it and even threw a little fit when it was time to leave so I think we will make this a family tradition.

The boys especially loved the tire swings, digging in the dirt, looking at the animals (I didn't let them touch the animals) and the freedom to walk around and explore the farm. I wasn't sure if it was going to be a hit with the boys but since it was free for them, we couldn't pass it up. Here they are enjoying our family outing.

Different Personalities

Today for lunch we had easy and yet not so healthy dinosaur chicken nuggets. However I like to think that I redeemed myself by having them eat cucumbers, applesauce and a slice of cheese as well.

Anyway, the point of this post is to illustrate just how different they are from each other. Kekoa played with his chicken nuggets as if they were fierce animals growling "ROAR" until he bit the head off. Makaio on the other hand took a few bites until it looked like a vacuum to him and then he pretended to clean his tray for the next 20 minutes.

So different and yet so very lovable!

It's What We Do

Since we have now entered the climbing on everything phase the boys no longer view their toy box as the thing that holds their toys but rather as a toy itself. It makes for a lot more cleaning up but as long as they are happy, I am happy.
