Happy Halloween

We had a FUN FILLED day of Halloween.

It started with Andrew’s Halloween Party @ School.

He went as the yellow transformer a.k.a bumblebee.

Originally, the plan was he & his sister were dressing up as

“Rock Stars” this year but he spotted this costume in the

Halloween Store and had to have it.

How could I say "NO" to this face

He had to bring a snack to the party so Adrianna & I made these.... found the idea on  Pinterest 

So cute and much healthier than candy

Jeremy & I took the kids  Rockers treat or treating around the neighborhood and I am not sure who LOVED it more

I am so used to Adrianna coming home with all her candy

and putting it on the counter and walking away.....Well

Andrew is a different story, he was very possessive with his

candy and wouldn't stop eating it and wanted MORE!

Pumpkins...and more

this weekend...

we carved pumpkins...

we played Mr. potato head with our pumpkins,

we made spider cupcakes

we made caramel apples

we went boo-ing...

we had a family halloween dinner,

we made a pumpkin cake...

and more!

life is good...

We indulged in sweets all weekend, in fact we have ate too much sugar.

We're all paying for it...

now, we are only eating nourishment that does not involve sugar.

 

Wordless Wednesday Pumpkin Patch

Deer Season = Shopping trip for the girls

Andrew went on his 1st Deer hunt with Jeremy.


Adrianna & I took a road trip to Branson with our besties Debbie & Mallory.


We couldn’t have picked a more perfect weekend…the drive was beautiful with all the leaves changing colors and the weather was gorgeous. We stayed overnight in Harrison which is quickly becoming my favorite. It’s a charming, quaint town. our road trip to Harrison last year.
We ate dinner at DeVito’s they serve delicious trout
{straight from Trout farm}

We hit all the outlet malls in Branson.
Let me tell you…. I NEEDED some retail therapy.



Adrianna was so sweet, she thought of her little brother the whole time. I think she spent more money on him than herself. She had to buy him his 1st build a bear.

Adrianna rubbing the heart

I told her she had to give it a bath & brush it too! wink wink

She made Andrew one happy boy... that face is cracking me up!

He named his bear Jodi and they are inseparable

Honor Roll Baby!!

What do ya know!!?

I went to Parent-Teacher Conferences tonight to get Adrianna's Report Card and she's a straight A student! Jeremy & I couldn't be more proud. She has been working very hard and has spent countless hours studying for test, reading & working on projects. She only had one absence and that was because she had a doctor's appointment that couldn't be rescheduled.

Good Job Anna!! Keep up the GREAT work!

Only 5 3/4 more years to go!! haha ;)

 

Some time around 4am, this little sugar gets in our bed almost every morning...

*****
He doesn't start out sleeping sideways...

in fact, he doesn't start out in our bed!

he goes to sleep in his bed, wakes up around 3am and gets in our bed...

then he manages to flip himself around and end up in this position

almost every morning.

we love his snuggles. the sweet yummy smell of his hair. his giggles as he is waking up and we tickle him...

but we do not like those feet, those feet that end up by our head...

kicking us. in the back. in the head. the back again.

there is a definite give and take to loving the kid-snuggles and loving a kid-free bed!

we wouldn't trade either, for anything.
