Boys will be boys....

Here is a nice breakfast that I made the boys. Notice Wyatt's cup even has a straw so he is super happy about that because it makes him just like his brother!! Owen walked over to my desk the other day with these darts on his head so naturally Wyatt wanted me to lick one and stick it to his head :) (note by Wyatt wanting I mean he grunted and groaned until he got me to do what he wanted!)

Here is Wy wy boy with a runny nose proud of his dart on his head.......

Silly boys!!

Happy Halloween 2011

We enjoyed our night trick'or'treating around the neighborhood. The boys had so much fun. Kris did the first stretch with the boys and then I took them around for about another hour. Owen wanted to run the entire time, so run we did! I ran while pushing Wyatt in the stroller. Funny thing is that since our houses are so far apart we only made it about a quarter away around our sub. We had sooo much fun, just me and my boys!!

Here is Wyatt smiling about all of the candy that he got tonight. Everything Owen would open and start eating Wyatt would search his pile and hold up the same exact thing for Kris and myself to open for him. Such a smart boy! Here is Owen with his pile of candy......

Here is a spooky skeleton that we had displayed in our front yard. We received several compliments at how great our house was.

Here is the front porch area with our fog machine.....it was very spooky!

Here are me with my boys before we headed out for the night!

And Kris with his boys....

Owen already said that he wants to do the WHOLE neighborhood next year. Not sure if we can make it around but we will definitely try.

Hope you all enjoyed your Halloween evening!

Harvest Party at Owen's Preschool

Owen's school doesn't celebrate Halloween so they have a Harvest party instead where they allow the kids to dress like farmers for the day. The kids played a few games outside and then we headed back inside for so good snacks to eat.

Here is a picture of Owen's class. This was during prayer time before we began eating. Look at Owen (he is the kid praying with his head in his hands on the carpet) Wy snuck in with his class on the carpet......he thought it was great!!

Halloween 2011 Greenfield Village

We enjoyed our 3rd year trick'or'treating at Greenfield Village for one of their Halloween nights.

Here is Owen hanging out by a huge pumpkin that weighed over 400 pounds.

We met up with good friends at Miller's Bar before for dinner and then headed to the village. They had one area with a headless horseman....the skit that they do was rather humorous...in this picture they had the headless horseman chasing the white horse.

They had a few pumpkins that were over 400 pounds. The biggest pumpkins I've ever seen!

Here are me and Wy on the pumpkin.

Owen and Arianna on the pumpkin. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of Owen and Georgia or the three or four of them together.

They had hundreds of pumpkins lining the streets creating an illuminating path for us. They also had several displays of pumpkins like the one below all over the village. There were so many pumpkins, so creative, so unique!

This house was cool! They had singing pumpkins out front and a skeleton on the house. Owen loved watching the pumpkins sing and the skeleton move on the house.

Here is our Wy-man as Robin. Look at this kids permanent frown. He really is a happy kid, promise!

Here is EE comforting Owen looking at a scary ghost

Here are EE, Grammy, Mr. Craig with Wy.

Grampy, Kris and Owen.....oops I mean Batman.

We had so much fun! It makes for a long night since it is a little hike from home, but so worth it. Though this year Owen was more spooked than in the past and said he doesn't want to go next year. We will change his mind in time for next year!!

Owen's Preschool picture 4 years old

Here is Owen's first school picture ever!! And it is a good one! He told us both that he didn't smile so we weren't quite sure what the picture would look like, but he surprised us with a handsome smile and made us proud.

Owen's artwork

Here is Owen's latest artwork. He drew it the other night and I was rather impressed (look at the hand on the right, yep that's right 5 fingers.)

The funny thing is that he told Kris and I (at different times) what he drew.....

drum roll please......it is a picture of "mommy with a long bellybutton."

Love that kid!!

My husband continues to amaze me....

This week he put in a new furnace. The past month the furnace has been shutting off on its own and only was blowing out cold air when we WANTED warm air. SO since the winter months are quickly approaching we decided we needed to get a new furnace. We knew the cost of the furnace was going to be more than we wanted to spend, I mean let's face it, who is ever excited about spending almost $3,000 for a new furnace?? Right?! Kris had the means to purchase only the furnace for about $800 and installed it with the help of my dad. Now our house is toasty warm again.....

Here is the old furnace hanging out on our porch...not really sure where or when it is going...hopefully soon!

And here is the new furnace running perfectly as it should on a 40 degree day! Love my husband, love him!
