Here's Tyler in his way cute giraffe costume (same one our other two boys wore when they were one). I just have a problem deciding which picture to use since I think they're all cute. Back in the day when I had a camera with actual film, I would take one, maybe two, pictures of each thing and hope for the best when I got the film developed a few weeks later. I love that now with a digital camera I don't have to wait to know if a picture turned out, but in order to make sure I get a 'good one' I take a ton of pictures of each pose. I plan to go through them and delete all but the one or two best ones. The problem is, I have the hardest time deleting any of them. Each picture shows a little part of a child's personality or a little part of our stage of life right now. I officially took 10 pictures of Tyler alone in his giraffe costume. I deleted one easily because it was a blurry blob of brown and yellow, but I can't decide which ones to keep/delete from the rest of them. None show him sitting perfectly still, smiling at the camera, but each one shows something about him that I love. In most he's trying to get away and then he'll stop and look back at me. In the last one he's trying to pull off his costume because he wants to hold his ear (which he does all the time) and was getting frustrated that he couldn't find it. I should just take one or two pictures of each pose so I don't have to decide between so many.
Here are the five pictures I took of Spencer trying out the Heisman pose for the camera. He had such a hard time figuring out which leg goes up and which arm goes where. He finally got a 'good' pose and I love the look on concentration on his face.
Here's Pirate Gavin. He just looks so cute in all of his pictures!
Our boys were super excited for trick-or-treating! It was so hard to wait until it was almost dark before we could head out. They got a ton of candy with trunk-or-treat on Wednesday night and trick-or-treating the next night. I love that the boys are still at the age where they share all of their candy with their parents. Unfortunately, I can't eat any for a few weeks since I just had mouth surgery, but Brant is pretty happy to have first dibs. :) Happy Halloween!
