Halloween Activities

Halloween was so fun.  We carved some pumpkins.  Connor was of course dramatic about the whole thing...he thought it was so gross.  Haydn was a little better and liked it and then Tristan thought it was so cool.  They all choose their own design and we helped them make it.  

 Here they are by the pumpkins they made.

 They had a Halloween parade at school and got to spend the day in costumes.

 Tristan had a joy school Halloween party.  They played a BINGO game.  

 And then made witch hands with popcorn and candy corn.

 More pictures in their Avenger costumes...

 Trick or Treating was fun.  We went with a few friends.  The kids got plenty of candy at both a trunk or treat and trick or treating so they are loving that!

I love this time of year with kids.  Hope everyone had a fun Halloween.

Halloween Costumes

For Halloween our boys decided they wanted to be the Avengers! We've got the whole crew: Connor- Thor, Haydn- Iron Man, Tristan- Captain America, and Archer- The Hulk!

Archer Crawling

My littlest man is on the move and faster every day!  Check out this video...

Beautiful Beach!

Another fun day at the beach with friends.  Scott buried these guys in the sand.

 Haydn and Tristan enjoying a snack at the beach.

 I brought bubbles and Scott did bubbles with the kids hour like 45 min.  It's so easy because the wind blows the bubbles for him.  Nothing better than bubbles at the beach!  The boys and their friends LOVED them.

 Scott got adventurous and took Haydn and Tristan boogie boarding on his back.  Unfortunately this was the only pic I got before my camera died for the day.  I wasn't ready and had to take it in a hurry, hence the nice strap in the picture too.  Scott is an amazing Dad.  He boogie boarded with Connor for much of the day.

We love having the beach so near.  If the weather is nice on the weekend, which it ALWAYS is, that's where we are!

Joy School

Tristan started Joy School recently!  He's such a cutie!  The first week was at my house so I got to see all the kids in action.  He was very well behaved and happy and quick to learn.  Love this little man!

 If you know T, this is the PERFECT backpack for him!

Laser Tag

Connor got invited to a birthday at a laser tag place.  It was his first laser tag experience!  It was a blast!  It was so loud and chaotic and fun with a bunch of 3rd graders!  He left saying, "We have to go here for MY birthday!"

Cake

I made this cute cake for a baby shower for a friend.  It was a hit.

Tristan Not Napping

Tristan has been fighting me at nap time.  He just isn't tired enough, and he plays in his bed never falling asleep.  Today I decided to tell him we weren't doing naps, just quiet time.  I let him choose 2 books to take to bed with him and told him he could read until I came to get him.  I found him like this 30 min later.  He fell asleep on the book.  Very comfy I'll tell ya!  I pulled him off to lay on his pillow and he'd been sweating so some of the ink on the page was on his face instead, oops!  So cute!
