Happy Halloween!

Halloween was a busy day, as usual!  I rushed to get to Jeffrey's parade in the morning.  I had an hour until Hannah's parade, which I thought was plenty of time.  However, for some odd reason, Jeffrey's class was the last class in the parade.  As soon as he walked by, I rushed to Hannah's parade.  I got there just in time!  She had to go back to class, so I ran to the store.  Then I rushed back to get her.  Then I ran a change of clothes to Jeffrey at school.  Then I let Hannah pick her birthday lunch.  McDonald's it was!  Then I had to rush home and get ready to go back and help with Jeffrey's class party.  Whew!  Finally, we had a few hours to relax before it was time to go trick or treating.  I love it when the weather is nice!  There were so many people out.  The kids had a lot of fun!

 

 

Happy Birthday to this beautiful little girl...

  

The after party...

Funny side note: Jeffrey wore 3 different costumes on Halloween.  He was a white ninja in the morning for school.  Then he put on Captain America to go trick or treating.  However, right before they left to go, he decided he wanted to be a black ninja so that he could battle the neighbor boy ninja.  Good thing this kid has costumes galore!

Happy Retirement, Dad!

My Dad retired last week after working for the U.S. Postal Service for 40 years.  That is a seriously long time!  We decided to surprise him on his last day.  We took 40 balloons and did a balloon release to celebrate.  It was pretty funny!  I'm sure everyone thought we were crazy.  I think my Dad enjoyed it though.  We got a few last day pictures of him by his truck.  I asked him the other day if he was sad to be leaving.  His response, HELL NO!  So, I guess you could say he is happy to be retiring.  Happy Retirement!

 

 

Pumpkin Patch

We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch last week.  The kids each picked a pumpkin (or two!).  Even Grayson got in on the fun this year.  I love having fun little holiday traditions.  We are excited to carve our pumpkins this week.  Happy Halloween!

Fall Fun!

Last weekend we went to Cornbelly's for a fun Fall outing.  We met up with Leah and Brian which made it extra fun.  There really is a ton of stuff to do at this place.  We ended up being there for a good four hours or so.  The kids loved the haunted dragon (Hannah got a little scared!).  They loved the jumping pillow.  Grayson loved running around and going down the slide.  We had fun making our way through the corn maze.  We made s'mores and much, much more!  Happy Fall!
