We had a great Halloween inspired month! We visited a few farms/pumpkin patches and a Halloween festival at Fairyland, one of our favorite new spots. Samantha and Peyton came for a visit, we had a play date with my long time friend Jenny (from elementary school) and her son Alex, a trip to San Francisco with Bri & the gang, a fun day with Sunshine, Kristine & kids, a visit from my Mom & Grammy, Brady's first birthday party, play time at the park, crafts, cooking and finally a visit from Grandma Carol and Halloween! Jacob and I got a special treat - time alone! Carol had fun with the kiddos (and vice versa) while we had dinner at a non-kid friendly place. WOO!
The kids LOVED Halloween. They were so excited to head out trick-or-treating. Lila was scared of the monster and masked costumes. They were very polite with "thank you's" and "Happy Halloween." We called it quits after an hour, Tanner kept asking for "one more house." We then got home and took over the candy giving duties from Grandma. I'm not sure if they liked trick-or-treating or handing out the candy more. They would holler for kids to come down to our house. If no one said thank you they would turn around and tell us "they didn't say thank you." Apparently our kids are the politeness police, as if they say it every time!
The kids are keeping us busy and on our toes as usual. They are growing up way too fast! You should hear some of the conversations we have with them and they have with each other. Some times I think we have teenagers already. Their favorite musician is Justin Beiber. Yep, no joke! They heard him in the store one day and then again on the radio. His songs are so catchy, I can't blame then. It's so cute to hear Lila say "baby, baby, baby oooooh."
I could write more but I need my sleep!
