Happy Halloween

Boo! Hope your Halloween was frighteningly fantastic. Ours was filled with multiple costume changes (ninjas to knights, knights to ninjas); candy (lots & lots); trick-or-treating (of course); & friends. The perfect ending to quite a nice month. Happy Halloween!

My Littlest Pumpkin

The baby-in-the-pumpkin idea was just too cute to pass up this Halloween season. Ella was a good sport- there was mostly smiles, a little tears...& lots of photos. Happy Halloween.

I Love You to the Moon

"I love you to the moon & back, & again, & again, & again," I said to the boys. I explained to them that's pretty far. "Well," says Ry, "I love you to the moon, then to the ocean, then to earth, then to our house, then to my school, then back."

Covey jumped on this opportunity, "I love you to the water."

I think the water's pretty far, too (even if he was referring to the fish tank water & not the ocean...).

Be Tricky

Our week has been filled with tricks for treats & lots of costumes. Trickiest of all? Capturing them in their Halloween finest. The boys planned to be knights, but have had some last-minute ninja ideas. I'm waiting for Wednesday to see what they go with. For now, we have Sir Covey.

Now head over to Jennifer's blog to view her 'Be Tricky' post!

October Sun

Fall photos. Yesterday I realized I hadn't taken much of the kiddos outdoors. The weather's been perfect, with an abnormal amount of October sun. But for some unfortunate reason, we've been inside cleaning. I think all the sun pouring in my windows has made me want to deep clean- it likes to show off the dust & dirt we accumulate on a daily basis. In all honesty, I'm not a cleaner- I really don't like it, so when I get in a 'deep-cleaning' mood, I have to take advantage. It's not much fun for the kiddos, though, so we headed outside yesterday afternoon. It was beautiful. The boys played, Ella napped & I took pictures. Once she woke up, I even attempted a photo of me & the three of them. It wasn't easily accomplished, but we all made it in the frame, so for that I'm grateful.
