Happy Halloween!

It is Halloween on a Monday, so we have a pajama day at school! Ben and Conner are excited to wear their new pajamas to start the day!

















The boys could not wait to put their costumes on after school. Ben is Falcon and Conner is AntMan! We went to a Halloween party at a neighbor's house and then went trick or treating! The boys got to hang out with friends while we walked around the neighborhood. They were much more independent this year! Ben and Conner definitely started to get tired, so by the end, we were just skipping houses to get home! They chose a few pieces of candy to eat and they went right to bed! It was a great time for all 4 of us!

Pumpkin Carving!

We finally got around to carving our pumpkins this afternoon! Conner was first and he wanted a vampire face because Halloween is scary. Ben wanted a smiley face because Halloween makes him happy! Nick did a great job carving the designs that the boys drew on paper.





















Ben and Conner were very happy with their finished products!

Rough...

After a very fun and late night, we drove home today from Ankeny. Conner fell asleep, but Ben stayed awake the whole time! They are both so tired and covered in grass stains and Gatorade mustaches!



Family Photos...

We got to go see my brother's new house this weekend and he took some pictures of us while we were all together!

Bonus Morning!

On Friday morning, there was no school, so the boys and I got to sleep in just a little! It is so awesome to wake up to these two characters! I love how they start every single day with a smile!
