Surrounded by boys.....and Ms.B

Welcome to my blog. I've called it 'A House of Hawes' as I am completely surrounded by Hawes' people, a scary (albeit fun) thought at times. Even the dogs have that last name registered. We've decided to go the blog route instead of our website so we can keep things updated easier as the 'Will and Nate' story continues....what a story it's turning out to be!

Hanging out in November

This month has gone by soooo fast. Hard to believe it's less than a month until Christmas. Here are some of Will and Nate's happenings around the house.....

They love their Daddy!

Halloween Fun

Well, Will and Nate's first Halloween is in the record books. It all started when I went out to buy them a couple of new sleepers and came home with Halloween costumes instead. Seeing they were too young to go trick or treating (much to Dave's disgust...he was hoping to score big with the candy haul), we decided to throw a party for their little friends. It was a lot of fun. Will was a spider and Nate was a monkey and Dave was the pirate. For the record, he is always a pirate on Halloween - he usually wanders up and down the street scaring the kids but he stayed home to entertain the crowd. We also had a ladybug, a mermaid, another monkey (Nate's real life girlfriend), a little pirate, batman and a fireman. Grandma and Nanny also showed up as themselves and helped by looking after their grandchildren who were playing shy most of the day. The first picture is of the day before (aka the dress rehearsal) - Will wasn't really enjoying the whole 'spider aura' on Halloween - party pooper!
