Halloween 2017

Today we are reminiscing on Halloween 2017 and all the activities we did this year!

Ri did not wake up from nap very well Friday night before we went to our town festival but he was fine once we were in the car! I had Queen Elsa and a race car driver this year and Ri's costume this year is my favorite of all costumes he has worn! 

Getting ready to get in the car

So this year we did the Scarecrow Stroll again in our local town, where the kiddos get to dress up and go from vendor to vendor and get candy and the parents get to see all the different businesses in town.  Charlotte loved being able to sit in the pink firetruck! It made her night :) We got home well past bedtime and these two were so tired they went straight to bed!

That Saturday we had a trunk or treat event happening on our street and I had a blast throwing our handmade gravestone in the back of my van to decorate! :) It was fun to just throw something together in 10 minutes and it turn out so good. 

Mimi was in town this weekend so she got to see the kiddos go trick or treating with us! 

Char and her best friend! 

I was pushing the stroller for my friend! Her two year old wanted nothing to do with trick or treating and was in the baby carrier so I was helping out and pushing the baby. 
Trunk or Treating was a blast! I am so glad we chose to participate. It was just enough houses to get the kids candy but not as hectic as Halloween night! 
Monday the 31st we painted our little pumpkins we got from the corn maze and these two had so much fun! 

The finished product :) Definitely going to be a family tradition 

I pulled out the decorations Tuesday, yes on Halloween. 

and we decorated our cooler for the candy. This year we went all out, Scott had a last minute surge of halloween spirit and we got big candy bars and went all out and it was seriously the best to watch him get into it! :) 

Scott stayed behind to hand out candy and the kiddos and I headed out for a walk around our neighborhood 


and by the fifth house this little boy was out cold and stayed asleep until we were almost back home. He must have been so tired because he slept for about an hour 

Our front door! We raced back to finish giving out candy since Scott had to head to work that night so I got to sit outside while the babies ate dinner with big sister watching them! 

We got so much good candy and had such a blast this year! It was just me and the babies for most of the activities but that is alright, we still had such a good time! Halloween might be my favorite this year because Charlotte is of the age where she was all in and totally got it and I loved seeing her light up with all the different activities! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great Tuesday!

Memorial Day catch up!

Happy Tuesday!  We survived Pre-K!  Char graduated last Thursday and her last day on Friday! She had such a fun year and learned so much and is very sad to be going to a different school next year, but she is also so excited as well! I just cannot believe I have a Kindergartener! Time flies when they are growing up! We had a super busy weekend with my sister coming into town to visit, so I'm catching up on laundry, and cleaning and getting into a summer routine with the kiddos! We are so excited for adventures this summer!  I will be back tomorrow with a weekend recap, but for now here is some photos from Char's graduation at her Pre-K! Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by!

Weekend Recap!

Happy Monday! I wont lie, today is a lot like my dish towel says: We had all the plans to go exploring and do something productive this weekend, but I only managed to clean the entire kitchen on Friday afternoon while the babies were napping! Here is a a bit of our weekend:  Friday morning started out with two monkeys jumping on the bed bright and early!  I love how they wake up so happy in the morning Riley got his 15 month shots on Thursday so I was fully expecting a grump and a half and got a very happy smiley baby boy instead!  We practiced blowing kisses We snuggled and we ran around with our backpack of toys Mommy did not unpack from the doctor's visit.  Saturday we spent lots of time snuggling on the couch, napping, and watching cartoons and just relaxing before hitting up the grocery store for a big trip. We got home late enough it was a sandwich for dinner kind of night.  Sunday we had plans to go out and ab...

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day to all! It's been a wonderful family weekend! Unfortunately our Memorial Day ended early, since Scott is now headed to work. He has to be in Miami, 7 am tomorrow! Yuck. Luckily Monday is almost over and we only have to make it until Friday until we see him again! Trying to stay positive and look at it as a good thing, not a bad. It is hard to see him leave, but I know he has to go to work. Charlotte was sad but luckily nap time was soon after he left so she transitioned into sleep fine. She will be upset when she gets up in a few but lots of cuddles, cartoons and playing until bed time will keep her preoccupied. We are headed to the beach this weekend, and then staying down there for the week while Scott works, but we will all be together and Mommy and Charlotte will be looking at houses while Daddy works so we will stay occupied with that and lots of pool time! Cannot wait until this week is over. May is almost over, then June is here! Cannot believe that! ...
