Silly Boy

It is common to find pencils and paint brushes in my hair throughout the day, but most especially while we are "doing school."  Jack has definately noticed this, and decided to add to my collection. While I sat there working with Christian on spelling words, Jack decorated me. The crayons add the perfect touch of color. Thanks little buddy.

Halloween

We left a heaping bowl of candy on the porch for our trick or treaters. Yep, it was empty in 30min. 

Ben is our skeleton, Jack our Monster, and Christian our ninja.  Lots of drama to get to this point.  Lots of drama.

Heather's little dog, Bear, became fast friends with Jack. Neither of them were up for all the walking.

On our way home from going to a "scary house."

After putting to boys to sleep upstairs, we went to the basement to work.  When we came back up, this is what we found.  I think he got a lot more spooked than he led on. 

Every Halloween we attend a friend/neighbors Halloween party and then venture around our neighborhood to trick or treat.  We were a little bummed this year because our neighbors weren't really in the spirit.  Not many front porch lights were on.  After our neighborhood excursion we packed up the kids and went to one of Aaron's co-workers hauted house.  Not real crazy about this but the boys have been especially interested in doing something scary this year.  After being chased away by a warewolf with a chainless chansaw, I think they had their fill.

 

Eggs

Yum , yum , yum!  I love our fresh eggs. Our chickens have just started laying a lot more and look!  We have plenty of eggs. The boys chore is to go and gether them in the mornings, usually after breakfast.  Sometimes they don't all make it back up to the house, but they're learning.

Pumpkin Patch

A family friend invited us to her Church event at our local pumpkin patch.  It started at dusk and the sunset was so pretty.  If only I were a better photographer, you could really see it's beauty.  The evening festivities included a hay ride, bonfire, roasted weenies & marshmallows, and lots of hide-n-go-seek tag.  The boys really loved it. Thank you for including us Jennifer!
