FIRST SNOW

They said it might snow. How much they didn't say. The kids had a blast. ( I couldn't find any matching gloves, boots are all a little tight...and poor Sam has nothing-luckily he was sleeping during the snow adventure). Jake was proud of his snowman.......regardless of it's size

Happy Birthday Jake

Jake turns 8 tomorrow. IT is amazing that my little 8lbs 6 oz. baby boy is 8. He is such a joy and growing up so fast.

WE celebrated his birthday a few days early since the weather was so nice.. We made air rockets and launched them from a nearby park.. Jake had a lot of fun celebrating with his many friends.

Trick or Treat

We had a great Halloween.. We met at a friends house and had some delicious chile and then we all went trick or treating in our neighborhood- we looked like a mob of kids. It was so nice to be able to go without freezing. Jake wanted to be a Mummy this year and Madison was fine with being a cheerleader (I think because she could wear a skirt- the kid hates pants) Sam was a semi pirate.. I couldn't get him to wear anything but the shirt. He was a bit hesitant at first about going to strangers doors. But after about the 3rd piece of candy he caught on and was running to each house. After we filled our bags we went back and had donuts and hot chocolate and the kids watched a movie.
