Ben's 3rd Birthday Party

Johnna and Josh had Ben's party at their house and had a Halloween themed event where all the kids wore their costumes. I didn't want the boys to mess up their real costumes so they just pulled out an old goodie from the dress up closet at home and off we went. It was a lot of fun and the kids had a great time!

Pumpkin Patch 2010

I love fall and I love taking the boys to the pumpkin patch. They are some of my favorite pictures from over the years. I know it will not be that much longer that I can talk Nolan into it. Right now he still thinks it's fun so I am thankful for that! It was hard to find the boys matching shirts. Hud is still in toddler and Nolan is now in big kid sizes so that makes it really tough! I was able to get Hud an XS in big boy and it was a little big but it worked. I thought the purple was funny for a change too! We met up with all the kiddos for a fun night!

You've Been Boo'd!

This year we came home to a special treat last week – someone boo’d us! To be boo’d means to leave special Halloween treats on someone’s doorstep along with a note and a sign that is taped to their door. The sign let’s everyone know they’ve already been boo’d. Then the note tells you to make copies of the sign and the note and “boo” at least two other families. I let Nolan and Hudson each pick out three families for us to BOO. We made up little treat bags this weekend and went after school to complete our mission. Nolan was hilarious because he was SO serious about it. He told me we should be incognito which I thought was so funny because I had just told him what the word meant over the weekend and he remembered. He wanted us to wear disguises while we boo’d everyone which last all of about thirty seconds – but it was funny. I love the age he is at right now – still little and like to be silly, yet able to do big kid stuff now. He wanted to get out and drop the good all by himself. (Which worked out great so I didn’t have the buckle and unbuckle Hud everytime!) He would set it all up and then post the sign and then ring the doorbell and RUN back to the car. It was such a little adrenaline rush for him. Too cute! By the last two houses Hudson had caught onto the fun and wanted to do it too. He messed it up for the first house because he rang the door bell before Nolan was ready and they got busted by Ryleigh! The boys had a great time doing it – I think it will be a new tradition for us!
