SuperRu vs Glitch

Rudy has declared that he is going to be SuperRu for Halloween.  I hope I'm not ruining his big reveal, but his costume consists of his red cape, a red mask, a London Bobby hat, and a Nerf sword.  It's creative, at least.

Brady isn't committing for Halloween, but his preferred costume for household battles is a Superman blanket knotted as a cape, his Gladiator helmet, and a sword.  He waffles between two personas:  Killer Bee and Glitch.

Wake up duty

I sent Brady to wake up Rudy. When they both didn't come right back down, I went to check on them and this is what I found...Such good brothers!!

Brotherly love

Brady was visiting my parents all last week. I think Rudy was happy to have us all to himself, but he was thrilled when Brady came home. In fact, Rudy was going to be napping when Brady arrived so Rudy specifically asked that I send Brady to wake him up.

This morning (two days after Brady's return), the boys were playing with the new and very popular parking garage. Rudy started crying and yelling "NOOOooo." I look in and Rudy is sitting on the floor and Brady is right up next to him.

I asked Brady what was going on and he told me he "just wanted to sit close to Rudy." I went in and Brady is trying to hold Rudy's hand, which Rudy is using to hoard about a dozen cars between his legs. I explained to Brady that Rudy thought he was trying to take his cars and maybe he should put his arm around his shoulders, rather than trying to hold his hand.

I explained to Rudy that Brady just missed him and wants to hug him.

Sure enough - Brady puts his arm around Rudy's shoulders and Rudy does the same. Cute, cute!

Couple of monsters

I found these on clearance last year and have been waiting a long time for the boys to wear them. Not sure if it really shows up (need to play with the flash settings apparently), but they say My brother's a monster.

Christmas list

We've gotten two toy catalogs in the mail recently and the boys have already started poring over them to make their Christmas lists.
