So, let's pretend for one minute that I have not been terrible about updating this blog this year. And let's pretend it's all caught up and you haven't missed out on roughly 7 months of our lives. Let's pretend that is the case so we can jump right in to today as these pictures were taken. So now you're feeling all caught up, right?! And while we're on the subject of pretending, our Halloween costumes arrived in the mail today and it took all of 2 seconds for my boys to have them on and fall right into their roles. It is the first year in maybe ever that I haven't tried somehow to coordinate the two costumes. I let them pick what they wanted to be. They browsed through the costume catalog a thousand times over and their minds changed just as many times before they finally settled on these...a spy and a UPS man! And at first it was a spy, but after Tyler got into the role for a little while, it was then announced that he was not a spy--he was a secret agent working for the President of the United States! So, now we're clear on that. Phew! So, in true character, they had no trouble pretending to the fullest.
And things got really rough when the secret agent had to arrest the poor UPS man for attempting to deliver explosive devices. (true story--his words, not mine. I truly just sat back and took pictures. Because if they're going to let me, you bet I'm gonna!)
But then I seriously doubted the skill of our secret agent working for the US President as he handcuffed himself to a tree. Perhaps we need a further background check on this guy.
But the UPS man sure did his job well (who cares if it was explosive devices in the package!). He happily delivered his packages with a smile! A UPS man this cute could probably get away with delivering explosive devices to my door and I wouldn't mind one bit!
But things were still a little tense around here, as you can see.
I was told on several occasions: "Mom, spies don't smile". I guess he has a point.
Busted, again!
Poor UPS man!
Look who's busted now! It looks like spies really do smile every once in a while after all, eh?!So, while we're at it, let's pretend that this post makes up for my lack of performance in the blogging field this year, mmmkay? All right, I knew you'd all be on board with that plan!

Ah, this was a classic Becky post!! And I loved every word and picture. Clever writing, adorable pictures - it just doesn't get any better!! The boys look great and how funny to choose a UPS man, but does he pull it off well!! They look adorable!
It is true, it would be pretending if we said your blog was entirely up to date, but - you have redeemed yourself with this one! Can't wait to see them!
