Thankful

We had fun again this year with our thankful tree. Mommy found a tree branch that worked great for hanging our leaves on it each day. For the many days leading up to Thanksgiving we said what we were thankful for, wrote it on a leaf, and hung it on our tree. It was neat to hear what each boy was thankful for.

Trick-or-Treating

We had a beautiful evening on Halloween to head out and get candy. Both boys were ready for Daddy to come home from work so we could head out. Ethan was a Fireman and Micah was Lightening McQueen from the movie Cars.



Off they go. We hit about 5 houses with nobody home and were beginning to wonder if we were going to find anyone at home. We did though and they both were heading up to the doors and ringing the bells on their own.
The candy stash. Both did well and we now have more then enough to last us awhile.


Carving pumpkins

We had fun carving pumpkins on Sunday afternoon. Thank you Papa and Nana for growing big ones again this year. Both boys watched Dad and Mom clean out all the insides. Ethan helped a little with a spoon but we couldn't get them to dig into it like we were. Then it was Daddy the master carver and the boys told him what they wanted on their pumpkins. We all had a fun time and then enjoyed seeing them lit after dark.



Ethan was making a mad face like he told Daddy to carve on his pumpkin.
