Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween.  Ours was a little crazy this year with the insane weather we have been having from Hurricane Sandy.  Our trick or treating actually got cancelled on Halloween and rescheduled for Sunday night so we will post more pictures then.

Here are some of Keegan's Halloween outfits

I think I have already posted these pics before, but here are a couple more of the boys in their Halloween outfits.  Bones pajamas....both glow in the dark!!

And Bones shirts!

Carving pumpkins....Matt doesn't like to clean out the pumpkins (he only does the carving part) so Landon and I cleaned them out for him. 

The finished products....Keegan's pumpkin with his name and Landon's "Super Why" pumpkin

And Landon by the pumpkin

We went to a Fall Kids Halloween Party through the PTA last weekend and Landon dressed up like Alpha Pig

One weekend when we had really nice weather, we put the kids in their Halloween costumes and took pictures of them, just in case it wouldn't be nice on Halloween.  Good thing we did that since it was raining and extremely windy on Halloween.  Landon is going to be "Count" when we go trick or treating on Sunday (so he can wear a warmer costume), but he was "Handy Manny" in these pictures.  

Keegan is a pumpkin.  He wore the same costume that Landon did for his first Halloween and also the same costume Matt wore for his first Halloween.  Matt's grandma made the costume and it has sure held up well.  It still looks brand new! 

A couple pics of the boys together

Since we didn't trick or treat on Halloween this year and it didn't really feel like Halloween, we tried to make the day extra special.  We made Landon surprise Halloween meals all day long.  Here he is eating his breakfast.

He had ghost pancakes and orange milk.

At lunch he had Batty Bat PB&J sandwiches, bones (cheetos) and Monster eyes (peas) with his orange milk again.  He also got a piece of Halloween candy for dessert!

For dinner he had Halloween Mac and Cheese with ghosts, pumpkins and bats.  He also had a Mummy (hot dog wrapped in a crescent) and some pineapple.

For dessert, he had some Bones (pretzel sticks and mini marshmallows dipped in white chocolate).

Here are the pictures of both boys in the pumpkin costume.  We think they look pretty similar here.  Landon was bigger than Keegan was, but they still look a lot alike.  Keegan is the first pic on the left and Landon is the bottom pic on the right.

Thanks Grandma and Papa!

Last week our baby sitter was on vacation so my parents came out for a few days to help us out.  They got to take Landon to preschool, watch him at Gymnastics class, play with the boys while we were at work and they even babysat for us Friday night so Matt and I could go to a movie (the first one since before Landon was born).  They also helped us with stuff around the house, colored many pictures with Landon and played all sorts of games with him, and even made Bones Halloween cookies!  Keegan was a good little boy, as always and loved hanging out with his Papa!  We weren't very good at taking pictures though and only got a couple. 

A couple pics of the boys in their matching "Bones" shirts!

Here are some of the "Bones" cookies that they made!

Thanks for coming to visit and helping us out.  We really appreciate it and had a great time with you guys! 

Fall Festival

A couple weekends ago, we went to a Fall Festival at the park.  They had a DJ where the kids could dance, a magic show, face painting, food and each kid got a pumpkin to decorate.  It was a lot of fun.  Landon wanted to take Lili with us and they had a blast together.  Lili turns 5 tomorrow so she is a year and a half older than Landon, but they get along really well.  We are so lucky to have such wonderful neighbors all around us!

Such a fun night!

Fun on the Farm

On Friday, October 12, we didn't have school.  So, a lady we teach with invited a bunch of us out to her farm for the day.  She had crafts for the kids, she let them ride one of her horses, play in the barn and she even made lunch for everyone!  Jeannie is a great lady and it was really sweet of her to let us all invade her house and farm for the afternoon! We had a great time and the kids had a blast!  Here are a few pics from our day!  Keegan was there too, but he was a great little boy and just sat in his stroller or slept the whole time so we don't have any pictures of him.  

Some of the kids at the craft table.  Landon painted a wooden horse and horse shoe.  He put magnets on the back so he could hang them on the fridge!

 

 All ready to ride the horse with his helmet on....what a silly pose!

 I think Landon was a little nervous at first to get on the horse, but he got right up there and then loved it.  He didn't want to get off the horse and made MANY laps around the yard.

Playing with the kids in the barn.  Probably not such a good idea to put Landon in fleece pants....he had hay stuck all over him :)
