Costume Day

This has definitely been the best Halloween yet!
The boys were able to wear their costumes to school on Thursday.
Here are the pictures before school.

(Micah could not wear the whole costume
because they needed to change his diaper easily at school)

Sam is Steve from Blue's Clues and
Micah is Super Why

Sam's class had a costume parade...so cute!

Here is Sam in his classroom

My sweet Sam

When I picked up the boys from school, they had huge grins.
They had halloween parties and painted pumpkins...super fun day at school!


Carving pumpkins with Daddy

Halloween is so much fun when you are a Mom!

Fall Festival

Fun! Fun! Fun!
I love Halloween fun!
Here are several pictures from the church fall festival.
Memorial Church of Christ has this huge party for all the Impact kids.
It was great fun this year, especially because the boys are old enough
to really enjoy all the activities.

Erika and Jaden...
Recognize the costume?
Jaden wore the boy's spider costume this year.

BeBop had fun at the party too!

Watching a magic show

Jenny and sweet Timothy

They even had ponies this year!

Justice and Ivory

Jalen

Tim and Timothy

Musical chairs...they were not too sure about this game.

And of course the pumpkin toss.

It was a great party!
But we were super worn out by the end of the party...
Thanks BeBop for coming with us, you were a huge help!

Halloween Playdate

We went over to Caleb's house yesterday for a great playdate.
If you know Jenny, she always goes over the top.
So as you can imagine...it was all kinds of fun.
Thanks Mrs. Jenny for a great playdate!

(So sorry about most of the pictures...I had my camera turned the wrong way!)

Halloween

Okay, you know how I am about Halloween.
I absolutely LOVE it!!!
So here we are getting a few more things ready.
BeBop got the boys these for our pumpkins outside.

Aren't they super cute?

Here are the ghosts we made while it was raining the other day...
Sy came to help, but forgot to take pictures.

Ready for school on Thursday...LOVE matching shirts!

Resting after they got home from school.

7 more days until Halloween...

My Sam

It finally happened...Sam wants to marry me! I have been waiting for him to want to marry me. You always hear about little boys wanting to marry their mommies. I couldn't wait for the day that it happened. He climbed into my bed one morning, put his arms around my neck and said, "Mommy, I want to marry you and Marin!" I guess I will be okay sharing him with the sweet little girl that lives two doors down. He went on to explain that I can hold one hand and Marin can hold the other. Sweet boy!
Oh, I can't believe I almost forgot to tell this story too. So, Sam has never talked about smelling anything. In fact, I talked to one of my friends about it this last weekend, that I was starting to wonder when he would notice smells. Well, he has noticed! This last week it happened. He was in the playroom with Micah and started yelling to me that Micah had a stinky diaper and it needed to be changed. Okay, funny story...
This morning at 6am, Sam climbed into bed with us. He was sweetly laying next to me, when all of a sudden he started saying, "Mommy, the smoke coming out of your mouth stinks!" What?
"Mommy, that smoke is getting close to my mouth and it stinks!" It was hilarious! Smoke...isn't that great? Later he kept telling Wes that his skin smelled like poop. We might have a problem on our hands now that he can smell!

Tonight

Sorry, I am doing a little catching up on my blogging,
so there are several posts tonight.

Time to brag some more on my husband...
after a full day with the boys, he cooked dinner for us!
Mom, Dad, and Justin came over too. We had sticky rice and chicken!!!
So yummy!!!

I forgot to take pictures of the meal finished, I was too hungry!
Thanks Wes for a great meal and for doing the dishes after!!!

Here is BeBop and Micah playing bubbles while waiting for dinner.

Day with Daddy

My boys have a fantastic Daddy!
Wes was off today and I needed to go to paint,
so the boys spent the day with Daddy.
Here they are finger painting in Wes' old t-shirts.

This is just one of the many things they did today:
Painting the driveway, lunch at CiCi's, library, hike in the woods...
such a GREAT GREAT Daddy!
I am so lucky to have a wonderful father for my boys!
