A 70 Degree Halloween!

The weather this fall has been unseasonably warm and it’s been wonderful. Halloween was no exception and was 70 degrees; perfect weather for trick-or-treating.  This year the kids wanted to be vampires and dress alike.  As a huge Halloween lover who realizes that her kids might be over the fluffy, animal costumes of the past, this was a great surprise.  I love it when they want to be alike and these costumes were really cute.  So, our vampires set out with our good friends, the Jones’s and trick-or-treated all over the neighborhood.  The warm weather kept the kids out for a long time, so the candy was quite plentiful this year.  *On a side note, Bennet really wants me to write, “Blah, blah, Blah” at the end of this post.

Bennet Lost Two Teeth!

Our baby is most certainly growing up – sometimes way too fast.  Bennet’s two bottom teeth have been hanging on for dear life now for a while and finally decided to come out.  The first came out at home and just like his big brother, the tooth fairy left him $5.oo.  The second one came out at school, which  as a Kindergartener, is just awesome.  He was so excited when we picked him up. So, life for Bennet has been pretty sweet lately as he’s a whole $7.00 richer. 

Picking Out the Perfect Pumpkin

Yesterday was the first day that it REALLY felt like fall, which was wonderful.  So, after Jamie got off of work, we decided to go pick out our pumpkins and play around at Ackerman’s farm.  We found some good pumpkins and a fun caterpillar, but the barn kitty captured our hearts.  Every year, Ackermans has kitties all around, and since we all want a kitty desperately, we enjoy that the most.  This gray and white little guy wouldn’t leave us alone.  It was so sweet.  We cherish these fall traditions with our family!

87 on September 24th?

This Saturday after Bennet’s soccer game, we decided to go to the splashpark one more time for the season.  It was unseasonably warm, so the water was awesome and the boys had a blast!

Oh, Bennet

I so enjoy my mornings with this sweet boy.

Kindergarten Picture Day

Bennet does such a good job posing for pictures for me.  He was really stoked about Kindergarten picture day today.  I think he looks so handsome with his big blue eyes. 

2nd Grade Picture Day!

Today was picture day, and like always, I wanted to take a picture at home 1st before he went to school.  Look at those two missing teeth.  Slowly, but surely, they’re coming in. Boy, as he ages, I see Jamie, but still my sweet little boy.  He can stop growing any time now.
