Why I Love Motherhood

Because I get homemade necklaces, that come with a picture. And lots of love. He's so proud, he even takes a picture with my phone. I love him so much.

Halloween Night

As most of you know, we had quite the storm Saturday night, early Sunday that dropped a good amount of snow and brought heavy winds to our area. Lots of towns cancelled or post poned trick or treating...thankfully, base was not one of them. Monday night, we had a quick dinner at Sean and Tara's, with some very excited little ones, then went out to trick or treat!

My 3 little guys. I love this picture because Daniel is enthralled with Nolan's costume. Nolan wore Josephs elephant costume when he was (almost) two!

I wanted N to take off his mask for a picture and "bend down next to your brothers." But his brothers kept bending down with him, defeating the purpose! Ashlyn, the very beautiful witch!!!

Jillian, the cutest pumpkin in town!

My Danny. If you look closely, you'll see he has two black eyes from a terrible fall last week...that's for another blog post, but we perhaps should have dressed him like a raccoon. But he's such a cute elephant!!!! JoJo:

We had planned on taking them to a few houses, then one of us heading back to the house with the twins and handing out candy while the other parent stayed with Nolan. These boys went to every house their big brother did and refused to let us help carry their buckets. So our plan didn't pan out and by the time we returned home, trick or treating was done! We managed to get one pic of all 5 kids!! I kept seeing Nolan walking around in the elephant and tearing up at how quickly it all goes by. I have LOVED every single Halloween since Nolan was here...but so far, this was my favorite. All three of my boys trick or treating, friends to share in the night, a fabulous neighborhood and daddy home to enjoy it. We are very blessed.

Halloween Party

Saturday we went to a Halloween party at a neighborhood friends' house. In the interest of not wanting to be worried all not about the kids "ruining" their costumes before Halloween night, we decided to throw together a family costume and used mostly stuff we already had. I was the Queen Bee, the boys were my little worker bees and Brian was the beekeeper.

Nolan can't quite read yet, so he didn't know what this said, he just knew he was a bee!

Everyone got into the Halloween spirit, it was such a fun night!
