It's Halloween!

Us ladies started our day with a little shopping...then some relaxation before dinner and trick or treat.

We've come to the point where we just put out a bowl of candy so that we can all go out and enjoy the trick or treating. This year is way warmer than last year...but we didn't stay dry the entire time!

We met up with our neighbors just in time for the kids picture. This is many of the kids on our street!

The start of trick or treat...still light out and dry.

Us ladies with our coffee and Rum Chata! Delicious!

The kids only lasted about an hour...and when we were finishing up it started raining hard and hailing out, so we ran home and were done.

The kids made a hall...check out these keepers! Some full sized bars, and random handmade zipper pouches? Interesting.

busy October day...

Started with Halloween dress up for school for both kids today! Princess Anna and Darth Vader were full of smiles!

When Eddie was done with school we had a quick lunch and then headed to visit with our neighbors! I got to hog baby Riley and catch up with Melissa while Eddie and Josie played!

Eddie even held Riley!

Then we had to run some errands and get ready for Aunt Amanda and Uncle Peter to arrive for the weekend. We were busy after dinner with pumpkin carving and Racko! Fun fun!

Uncle Mitch joined us too tonight. Tomorrow night he is passing on trick or treat for a more fun college party apparently.

first slush

First winter like precipitation today...don't think it really counts as snow though!

sass and spark

Rowan was looking sassy in her cowgirl boots today...

And Eddie passed out of Tots 1 skating class today and onto Tots 2!

seriously #7

Rowan came home from school saying that her tooth bled at school and got on her pants...then I get a phone call on my way home from swimming tonight from her saying, "the coolest thing happened"! She was on the trampoline with friends and she and Gabby bumped into each other and her tooth came out. That's 3 teeth in a week.

finished projects

My mom brought me this sewing table back in February...And I finally got around to finishing it. It took me that long because I needed Ed's assistance to fill holes and drill new holes for new hardware. It turned out so good.

And this chair I refinished for Grandma Julie. She got it from my Grandma Audrey and wants to put it in her bathroom. This too turned out awesome.

Boo bash and bobbing.

Today we visited Boo Bash at Festival. The kids got to trick or treat at the businesses by Festival, got to check out a fire truck, get face painting, some samples, etc. Pretty cool free event. Prepping for trick or treat next weekend.

Then we had some lunch and played outside before heading down to the Autrey's house to have some more Halloween treats and bob for apples. Kids loved it. 

Afterwards we picked up some Papa Murphy's pizza and relaxed and watched a movie as a family.

flint...

Spent the last 2 days painting our powder bath! Found out yesterday that our builder didn't/doesn't paint the ceilings. So that added a bit of time prior to painting walls, but now the room is painted ceiling to floor. Now I just need some décor to go with it. But we love the color. It is called Flint by Benjamin Moore.

odds and ends...

In order to not feel guilty sitting at the sewing machine practicing today, we headed to the park again for some quick play time. When the sun is shining it is hard to resist this face.

Nana gave me some leftover burlap, so I made a banner with it! And since Eddie got a pillowcase, Rowan decided she needed a new one. So this is what she picked out!

fall fun with Eddie

Today was picture day at school! And this tree is in full fall color, so perfect for a picture of a cute boy with his hair did.

After school we had lunch and then took a bike ride to the park.

 

When we returned home, the mail came and the kids had a package from Nana and Papa with some Halloween goodies for them. Spoiled rotten.

full gear today

Today Ed decided Eddie should try skating with all of his hockey gear on so he gets used to it. He did great. We were hoping he would be a bit more adventurous with it on, not so much. But it'll come. Ed was in his prime getting Eddie all dressed up.

the boys

Last week Thursday...Ed mentioned that his right eye didn't feel right. It was slightly red but that was it. Then Friday he came home 'early' because his eye was puffy and red (pretty much like picture below) Over the weekend it didn't really change much. Sometimes it'd look slightly less puffy, but then worse again in am. So today I made him a doctor appointment for tomorrow afternoon because they didn't have anything available today. We will see what happens.

This little boy got all his hairs cut today!

teeth day...#5 and #6

Rowan had a tooth fall out in bed this morning....

Had breakfast...played outside a bunch...

and pulled out another tooth... 

This toothfairy might need to take out a loan to cover all her teeth!
