Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving and Painting!







*Warning: Ryan's pumpkin is not for kids!*


Grandma always comes through with the best pumpkins!

On Monday the boys and I went to the Giggle Factory with my friend Jill and her kids. It was the first time I got to meet Jill's little girl Abigail. Abigail was born about a month ago and I can't get over what a little peanut she is. She made Easton look HUGE! While the older boys crawled around in the tunnels and went down the slide I got to sit in the toddler area with Easton while he explored the soft toys. Afterwards Ben came back to our house for lunch. It's nice when Spencer has friends over to play because they keep themselves entertained.



The biggest news we have his week is Easton started CRAWLING! Watch out world, Easton is on the move. It's still a slow crawl but I'm sure it won't be long and he will be all over the place. I told daycare not to tell me if he started crawling at school as I like to pretend that I get to see all of his firsts. Finally on Tuesday night Ryan I both thought we saw him try and move his knee forward. It was getting close to bedtime for him and I put his bottle on the floor to see if we would crawl to it and sure enough he took off! I guess he was hungry.






The hardest part about Easton getting bigger and on the move is he can go after the toys he wants. Spencer is having a hard time adjusting to the idea that the toys that were once all his are now the toys he has to share with Easton. Easton will get a toy and of course Spencer thinks he needs to play with that toy. Spencer will take it from Easton causing him to cry. I will either make Spencer give him the toy back or give him a new toy to play with. I know this is going to be a life long thing but I'm so not ready.


This week was theme week at school for the boys. Spencer LOVED dressing up and it made our mornings easier. Easton wore Halloween/ pumpkin shirts all week.



Tuesday was blast from the past. Spencer wore his jeans rolled and we slicked his hair.


Thursday was orange and black day. Spencer had slept in an orange shirt and insisted on wearing it under his other shirt.

Friday was inside out day. It was also their Halloween party. Ryan, Grandma and I all went to school to help get the boys dressed for their parade. Spencer was so excited and it was fun to see the other kids dressed up and meet the parents of Spencer's friends.


The boys went to Grandma and Grandpa's Saturday. Ryan and I had a Halloween party in the neighborhood to go to. While we had fun and enjoyed our kid free night they had fun with Grandma and Grandpa.


During half time of the Packer game Ryan checked on Spencer and this is how he was sleeping!


Spencer is having so much fun this Halloween. I think he is having more fun with kids coming to our house then he did going to a few houses trick or treating. Every time a group of kids leave he says "are more kids coming?!" We hope everyone had a great Halloween!
