*fall FUN*

On Thursday Ava and Sam were able to come over for the afternoon... The kiddos had a blast outside playing in the leaves, on the swings and just being silly! Sam and Brooklin would rake the leaves into a little pile and then throw them in the air. Our tree in the front is turning colors and everytime B sees it she says, "Look mom, it's turning fall!"

~Veteran's Day~

We had a great day, spending it with family and 4 wheeling! Everyone had the day off so I switched my patients that I would see today and did it yesterday so I wouldn't miss out on the fun. We took off around 9:30am and got home at 3:30pm... it was a long day but as always, had a blast! It was a bumpy ride but no major meltdowns or problems so it was a successful day of 4 wheelin!

*My Little Soccer Star*

Soccer started tonight and I have to tell you, I wasn't that thrilled. After last year and not finishing the season and listening to B whine and cry for most of the game, I wasn't really into the thought of soccer. At first, Brooklin said she didn't want to play and somehow her mind got changed!
With no expectations, tonight went really well and what a year a difference made. She did great, no major meltdowns and she scored 4 goals! After the game she came up to me and said, "Mom I made 4 scores!" On the way home, I told her needed to pass the ball so other kids could make a goal.... she said, "but I like making goals." I guess we need to help her grasp the playing as a team concept! She was so proud of herself and so were we!

My little monsters are growing up so fast! Not much has been going on with us, just enjoying the beautiful weather we've been having! Brooklin and Mason love being outside so that's where we spend a lot of our time...

Halloween Party #2

After trick or treating, we headed to Munford's for their party which is always a blast! We ate, visited, played a few games (eat the weiner, so you think you can dance?, mummy wrap, bobbing for apples, kids fear factor) and we even got a performance from the Village People! Mason didn't last long here, he was done being Batman and he crashed on me fairly early.

**Nick had a chicken deliver a present, flowers and a balloon since he proposed 8 yrs ago on Halloween. It was nice, quite embarrassing - he got me a smaller camera that I could carry around in my purse**

~TriCk or TrEaT~

Trick or treat, smell my feet... the kids were excited to get out and go trick or treating. We just went to my parents circle and a few other houses, nothing too extreme. Mason would tell us if it was his turn or B's turn to knock on the door, he wasn't too sure about everything. The kids got plenty of candy and even $5 :)
They both looked so awesome in their super hero costumes!

Friday night we were invited to the Bingham's party which was adults only! We went as Fred and Wilma Flintstone, orange hair and all... We had a great time visiting with lots of people, eating, listening to the band & checking out all the costumes! It was a fun time!!!
