Happy Halloween!

We trick or treated with a Cowboy, Optimus Prime, and Woody.

Last night, Max's school had their annual chili dinner and pumpkin glow.

I had never heard of a pumpkin glow, but it was such a fun experience. Everyone brings a pumpkin up to the school along with a trash bag and their carving tools.

We hollowed out our pumpkin and drew on our face before we went to the school.

You carved your pumpkin and then put a light inside. They had everyone put them on the hill by the school. Then when it gets dark, all the elementary school kids sang their Halloween songs they have been learning at school.

 
 Max was too busy playing with his friends to help carve the pumpkin. (He looks thrilled in the picture, but today he is home sick. So, I don't think he was feeling all that great.)

It was so fun seeing Max and all of his little friends at school.

We had the best time and will definitely be looking forward to next year!

Blast from the Past

Two posts in one day!?! I don't even know myself anymore!

Anywho!

About 2.5 years ago, this was a familiar sight.



I thought all of that was in the past until today when Eli woke up with raspy breathing. He has bronchitis and is obviously thrilled with the breathing treatments.



I look thrilled too. Nothing like pinning your 9 month old down for 15 minutes while he's thrashing around and screaming.

 

My boys love love love to spend time with their dad. Their eyes shine and sparkle when they know he is home for the day. He is a much better playmate than boring mom.

While the boys were napping one Sunday, Sheldon went to shoot. He saw a rattlesnake and it came home with him. The boys were ecstatic to see it when they got up.

They helped Dad skin it and cook up some to have with their dinner. The big guy and 2 little boys liked it, but I couldn't bring myself to have any.



Oh my! Nothing thrills me more than all my boys in matching shirts!

Dentist Visit

Max had his 1st dentist appointment yesterday.

He probably should have gone before now, but oh well. He did so great. He just hopped up in the chair like he was an expert.

 

His teeth look great and he does not have any cavities.

 So, I did what any great mom does after a dentist appointment. He had a milkshake on the way home.

This post consists of more random pictures from the past few weeks.

I have been teaching the preschool class on Wednesday nights at our church. It is super fun and I am having the best time. Max is in my class, so that is super fun!



The boys borrowed an angry birds game from a friend and play it nonstop for 2 days.



This little cutie loves to unbuckle and come sit/talk with me while we wait in the line to pick up Max from school.



I signed up to help out in Max's class and become the chair person for the Halloween party.



Just hanging out and waiting on Dad to get home.

Not much has been going on at our home. Last week was pretty busy, but we have had a pretty low key week.

 I got my fall decorations put up a couple of weeks ago.








Crocker has been a bike riding fool. He is loving his new found freedom.

We decided to move the boys into the same room to have a guest room/craft room. Sheldon and Max made another bed.
 

It has been pretty cold here and one night last week we had white beans and ham. It was so good and will be a winter staple!
 

Eli is pulling up and playing with big boy toys.
