Enjoyed a Halloween eve at Night of the Living Zoo. This may be the first time I've actually gotten to walk the whole way round the Zoo with the fam!
We always knew these two guys were jokers and nothin' but clowns!
Papa and Isaac figuring out pumpkin bowling. He has quite the technique!
We had a great day just hanging out with the Howerton's, we can't wait to do it again! Though I think Isaac might argue that Eden isn't quite as much fun as Ava...yet! Whenever I was holding her he would tell me to "put baby down and come here!" He might have been a touch jealous, which surprised me a little!
We went to the park down the street from their house. They had a great time on the slides, on the swings and just playing with the rocks. Ava did have to ask him to exit the vehicle...but over all they got along great!
Even after getting kicked out of the car they still could be friends! They held hands almost the entire way around the little lake...too cute! 
Well, there it is. Not horrendous, but not good either.
I'm not even sure what type of scissors I used...they may be nail trimmers...but I saw an opportunity, I took it. There was minimal push back from the assult, so I trudged ahead in sort of a blind snipping! I guarantee it's not straight, I guarantee we're gonna get a good laugh when we see it dry in the morning...but at least the boy can see now!
Some of you may have even commented on how badly he needs a haircut (Uncle TyTy)...but I have been a little reluctant to do so. Mostly because it is a tortuous process, and partly because I just think its cute a little longer.
The last time he got a haircut (late spring, early summer...I've tried to block it out) GiGi ended up chasing a semi-naked Ike around the backyard with scissors. Let me clarify...he was running, not GiGi, we all know you shouldn't run with scissors! It was not fun. He screamed, squirmed and was all around uncooperative. GiGi was a angel and dealt with him and his crazy.
This time Mimi Mary was the brave soul who decided to give it a try. We had it all set-up...cartoons on the TV, ice cream bribe at the ready...but no go! Once again he squirmed, cried and whimpered "all done" whenever she touched a hair, yes a single hair! FAIL.
So if anyone has any great tips for cutting an almost-two-year-old's hair...I'm all ears! Oh, and by the way school pictures are on Nov. 3...so fast action maybe required, or maybe some barrettes!
