Our sweet neighbor wasn't going to be home on Halloween so she made the boys this train of goodies.  They thought they were so special!  I'm officially past the years of having any influence over what the kids choose for their costumes.  The boys got to choose their costumes and this is what they went with.  I had to have a new tire put on my car so while that was being done, I took Evan to look at costumes.  This is what he chose.  Officially, it's a "pumpkin demon .  He loved it.  And I told him once he chose it that he couldn't change his mind.  Ryan wanted to be a ninja for the second year in a row.  I remember specifically wanting to be a witch more than one year in a row so I figured it was hypocritical to make him chose something different.  No masks were allowed at the church carnival so I painted his face, in about 3 minutes because it was time to go whe...

Becky and I took our kiddos over to Gardner Village to see the Witches today.  I love this annual tradition.  The kids really love it too, especially the cookie they earn at the end for completing the scavenger hunt.  

Way back when, I promised I would add photos of the house once I had it all how I liked it.  Well, it certainly isn't perfect (is it ever, really?), but it's done for now.  Here's our lovely home.  We are so happy here and we love our new neighborhood too. The street view.  Walking in the front door, this is our formal living room.  I love this big window and the view is amazing!  This kind of looks back at the entryway and as you can see, we bought a multi-level so keep that in mind while looking at the rest of the photos.   Love the details on this wall.  Dining room.  Kitchen If you go down three steps from the kitchen, you're in the family room. The ceiling is not low, it just looks like that because I can't take pictures.   Colin picked out this sectional the week before we moved. Everyone loves it!  Okay, I know we are weird, but the kids have their own set up on this side...
