Happy Halloween Everyone!

Well my boys woke up this morning hunting for their costumes and begging us to put them on once they found them. So, even though they won't be trick-or-treating until later in the day, here they are all dressed up and ready to go!

A little of what we've been up to this week

Well, the end of Fall Break has come! We had a great week. Tuesday the boys and I went to our friend Kelli H.'s daughter's birthday party at the bowling alley. The boys had a great time! Alex won the first game and Isaac won the second (just between the two of them; there were many other girls playing. But, I didn't keep up with their scores.) Then after the boys came home and took at nap, we went to the Walden Pumpkin Farm. Nana, Pops, Jaylen and Bryce went that afternoon as well, so the boys had a great time seeing them. The rest of the week was spent at home just hanging out, cleaning out and cleaning up the house, and laundry. I think I did at least one load of laundry every day this week! It never ends! Today we helped our friends Kelli and Steve C. move into their new place. We've helped them move twice in eight days, but hey, that's what friends are for. They better not move again for at least a year! :) Well it is now 12:45 am, so I guess I should go to bed! I'm excited about this afternoon though, I am hoping to get to go visit Miss Kennedy and Mrs. Reigen! Good night all! :)

Isaac was a great big brother by helping Alex each time it was his turn to bowl.

I'm not sure what Alex was thinking about... but look at Pops being silly!

Isaac had a great time on the tire swing, and Pops helped him go really high!

The Many Faces of Fall Break

Today was the first day of Isaac's fall break. I took off work this week to stay home with both boys. The boys and I had a great time today. I made chili for dinner and for leftovers this week. The boys took a great nap and then played outside when Clarence got home from school. Here are some of the pictures from our day.

Isaac's reaction when I told him we're going to the Pumpkin Farm again tomorrow afternoon. We're going so Alex can have as much fun as Isaac and I had on his field trip.

Isaac wanted me to take a picture of him and his red Bakugan

A fun weekend

Yesterday was the boys' cousin, Lucas's birthday party. They got to go to Chuck E. Cheese to play, eat pizza and eat cake. I forgot our camera, so these pictures were taken with my phone.

Lucas and Isaac playing with the Star Wars figures that were on the top of his cake.

Lucas, the birthday boy! 5 years old already!

After the birthday party we came home and cleaned up the boys toy room. Then, I wrapped up the afternoon with a visit with Reigen and Kennedy. Here is my favorite picture that I took while I was there.

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Today I went with Isaac's class on their field trip to the Walden Pumpkin Farm. All the children had a great time! The day started with a lesson about corn and wheat, and then the children got to play in a mixture of corn and wheat. Then the children got to go through a hay maze. The farm has a large corn maze, but we didn't get to do that. Then the children went on a hay ride. That was a lot of fun, and we got to see several pumpkin patches, the corn maze, and a baby horse and her mother. After the hay ride we went to the petting zoo and ended our trip by choosing a pumpkin from the patch. We had a great time, and we're planning to go back so we can share the experience with Daddy and Alex.
