October

Henry had his first crazy hair day at school.  He was a little nervous that no one else would have crazy hair. Jon ate lunch with him  at school that day and said that there was plenty of crazy hair going on.  

After school. It stayed pretty good.

Celebrated another birthday.  Not quite 30, but getting way too close! Unfortunately on my real birthday we couldn’t leave the house and Jon and I both got the stomach flu that night.  Oh well, Jon was amazing and got me a new memory foam and sheets for our bed-exactly what a pregnant lady on bed rest never knew she always wanted!

 

Since I can’t go out shopping for Halloween, I ordered the costumes online.  The kids had to try them on the day they arrived.  We are pretty excited for Halloween!

Just some fun times playing in the dirt and our ever changing backyard

32 Weeks! Yeah! I asked Henry to take a picture of me and this is what we got. 

Oh yeah and this.  I guess if you put them together.

My Mom was the witch again at the pumpkin walk for a few hours.  I was bad and took a little break from bed rest (I am almost 33 weeks-I NEEDED to get out after 8 weeks of being home bound!) I just saw her took some pictures and went back home.  Don’t worry!

Henry loved her

Emma had to be bribed to get near her

And Charlie…well that was a little sad.

Emma could have stayed here all day

Charlie couldn’t quite figure out how the cut outs worked.  And this random little girl really wanted to be in his picture with him.

Ahh he figured it out.

Who is the loveliest of them all?

This picture cracks me up.  I mean what is wrong with that kids ear? 

Walking home with the witch after.

Henry and Emma on their way to a neighborhood party.  I just liked the lighting.

My Mom was nice and borrowed a neighbors wheel chair for me so I could go to the pumpkin walk.  It was a bit embarrassing, but so nice to get out. This scene our neighbors did so it was of course our favorite.

It is kind of funny to try and take pictures when you are the same height as the kids

Emma and her cute cousin Miles who share a birthday a year apart

We finally burned the branches/trees that we tore out of the backyard way back before we even started building.  It was a pretty big fire!

 

Jon of course thought it was pretty fun.  I was all the way back on the front porch and I had soot landing on me!

Getting ready to go to our cousin Mason’s Halloween birthday party. Jack Sparrow,

Cowboy, Humpty Dumpty and Strawberry Shortcake.

 

I told Charlie to smile and this is what I got.  He wasn’t sad or anything.  These pictures just crack me up though.  He reminds me of someone.

These three cousins (Henry, Gage, Mason) are in their 6th year of dressing the same for Halloween.  I keep wondering when they will refuse to do it any more.  We didn’t coordinate at all and I think they all look pretty good.

My Mom was the hit of the party! Woot wooo

I was excited that I could find/make a costume at home.  My kids painted the box for me.  I helped Henry with the lines.  Jon was sweet and drew the face for me.  I had some permanent marker seep through-soo glad it came off in time for my Dr. Appointment!

Michelle and my Dad were also pretty good.  I think Michelle was some sort of African American vampire and my Dad was a Dorky one.  I don’t know, but they were funny.  

Thanks Marnie for putting on a great party-she was a gypsy so cute.

Henry and Charlie couldn’t get enough of the homemade root beer.

I made some cute ghosts and teeth-yummy and Charlie participated for the first time in the doughnut eating contest.

He was pretty proud of himself! Henry won when he did it!

Love them.  Emma had to go inside and get a doll to bring to the party. 

 

I tried to get a picture of the three cowboys (Taggart, Charlie, Jonathan) but they were hardly wearing any of their costumes! Oh well.  They are pretty darn cute anyway-or funny, can’t decide.

We invited my parent’s over to carve the pumpkins they gave us and to have a spooky (gross) Halloween dinner.  They hadn’t carved pumpkins for a few years, so it was fun to have them help us!

Our works of art!

Henry off to school on Halloween morning

We got to go trick-or-treating with Jon’s brother Joe and his sister Michelle and their families.  I was off of bed rest because I was 34 weeks!

I made Emma and Henry’s trick or treat bag since I didn’t have a lot going on and already had the yarn.  Isn’t she a cute strawberry shortcake?

 

Happy Halloween! It was a fun one!

Belly shot of 34 weeks.  Charlie kept asking where Ezra was the following days.  He must have believed that was the baby’s face.  Scary!
