Halloween

The kids were very specific with their costumes this year. They wanted to be the characters from a new Disney Channel cartoon called, Jake and the Neverland Pirates. It's super cute, and features 2 boys and girl. They do share a striking resemblance to my children, and yes, they think they are them. My mom helped me whip up costumes for them. They LOVED it!
It's Jake, Izzy, and little Cubby.
We went trick or treating with a bunch of friends around our neighborhood. The kids had a full day of parties and activities. It was a great Holiday!
Ryan was a little disappointing because he doesn't really care for candy. He was the most excited when one house gave out pretzels! He came running out shouting to me that he got pretzels. He did like some suckers and M&M's but the rest he could care less about. Jayne loved it all, and was continually leaving a trail of pixie dust (ie. glitter) everywhere she went. We couldn't figure it out. I thought the sidewalk had sparkles in it because everywhere we went it was sparkling. Jason finally figured out it was Jayne. Lovely. Glitter across the entire neighborhood.
And Kyle was along for the ride :-) A Happy Halloween indeed.

October Happenings

We did so much in October! We had so much fun. Here's some highlights...
We went to a pumpkin patch. We rode rides, looked at animals, and got a pumpkin.
Jayne was asked to be in a photo shoot for a website. I'll put up a link once it goes live. It's for a new company that friends of ours are starting. She LOVED getting to pose for pictures for 45 minutes straight :-)
We got to see a bunch of cousins/extended family. We had so much fun when Jason's brother's family and parents came to town. We all got together several times to celebrate all the October birthday's in the family and enjoy some time together.
I took Ryan (and Kyle) on his first Preschool Field Trip. We went to a real working farm/pumpkin patch. He LOVED it!
Ryan's Class
Ryan picking vegetables. Then he got to pick his own pumpkin!
Kyle going on a run with Mommy. (It was crazy to be back down to 1 kid in the jogger. It felt so light! We went during the short time that Ryan was in Preschool and the baby wasn't taking a nap.)
Super fun birthday dinner with a bunch of my girl friends!
Kyle graduated to the next size up tub. Unfortunately, he tries to lay down in it so I have to help keep him propped up, but he's getting the hang of it.
Kyle ready for church. I love his mohawk.
Carving pumpkins with Dad! This year, Jayne loved pulling the "guts" out. Ryan wouldn't touch it. We'll see if he grows out of that like Jayne did.
Awesome pumpkins!
