Rasmussen Family: November 2009

Where'd my baby go?
We bought Wes this toddler bed a couple months ago because he started getting out of his crib, but when I tried to put him down in it he would just scream, shake, and immediately jump out! Well, today I was washing/drying the boys bedding and he wanted to go down for a nap early...he even started falling asleep on me. So, I tried putting him in his big boy bed. He must've been super tired because he just layed down, sprawled out, and gave me a big smile (eyes half closed!)! What a sweetie :)

Uncle Evan and Sara got this elephant, "Ellie," for Wes on his 1st birthday...we don't go anywhere without it!

Doesn't he look so big :( Can't believe he'll be two in less than a month!

This year was our boys first "official" Halloween with the costumes and trick or treating! Emmet was a scary dragon and Wes was a super cute lion. We had our friends Tommy and Chrissy over and their adorable kiddos Tag and Bella. Ryan's med school buddy Chase came over too, he's always lots of fun. Between all the boys Chrissy and I were in stitches the whole night! Haha! We had a yummy dinner (that I borrowed from Ryan's mom :)) of cheesy bread bowl soup, and baked ziti for the kids. I was pretty excited about having Halloween so of course I made way to many treats...!

Roar!

Emmet loved growling at people...he's been practicing all month :)

Let's just say Wes wasn't digging his costume! He's one that loves to be free...er naked!!

Here's some of the treats I made: Yummy punch, caramel snicker apples, mini-cupcakes, and a cheeseball (my fave)..not too mention Chrissy brought the most delicious oreo cookie balls....I stole a bunch and had them the next morning for breakfast! After that I chucked all the candy and treats (or whatever I couldn't pawn off on our guests...) because we were all so sick from all the junk!!!

All the cute trick or treaters raring to go!!! Thank goodness for the warm weather, it was such a perfect night!

Chrissy the leopard and me...Kat Von D!

The guys....no costumes...BOOOO! ;)

Ryan was feeling the Halloween vibe :)

Oh, Wes...what are we going to do with you!? He doesn't like to be apart of the pack...he wanted to run into the street and play with the Halloween decor in everyone's yards! Such a turkey!

A Ninja, Bride, Dragon, and Lion....what a group!

No one had the courage to knock on that first door! Ha! Emmet made a rookie mistake and just walked in to the people house...haha! After that though they all did great! I was so proud of Emmet he caught on so quickly and always thanked everyone after he took candy! What a pro!
