Boo!  Happy Halloween!  We are all geared up over here for a fun afternoon and plenty of trick or treating tonight.  Maxwell is really excited about Halloween this year and has been ready for today all week long!

We had a little dress rehearsal for Halloween on Wednesday night when we went to Trunk or Treat at St. Luke’s.  It was a beautiful night and good opportunity to give our costumes a test run…

For tonight, Maxwell will be a little more orange and a little more official!  Spencer will be…well, completely different and poor baby will have an actual Halloween bag instead of his Easter basket!  🙂  ha!  I didn’t realize until we were leaving that I had never bought him a Halloween bag last year so the bunny had to work in a pinch!

We had fun at trunk or treat and got to practice saying “Trick or Treat!” and “thank you”.  🙂

Whenever Spencer got a new piece of candy, he wanted to eat it right then…

regardless of whatever open, half eaten candy he already had! He’d just hand that half eaten piece to me and ask for something new!

We ran into our friend Charlie and all laughed because the boys looked like a a mini Village People!  😉

Overall it was a fun warm up and we’re super ready for the main event tonight!

Happy Halloween!!

On Sunday it was sunny and 82 degrees…perfect weather for a Fall Festival!  ha!  Regardless of the heat, we still went up to the church’s fall event and had a lot of fun. They had a little “hayride” which consisted of a trailer of hay being pulled around the parking lot by a Lexus SUV. Totally authentic and Spencer hated every second of it!

Maxwell, on the other hand, was in heaven because his two best buddies, Max and James, were there!

They had lots of fun games set up and the boys got plenty of prizes, treasures and even a tattoo.

They also had a bonfire (again, perfect with the warm temps!) and everyone got to make s’mores.

This picture makes me laugh…Robert trying to keep Maxwell from stabbing his burning hot marshmallow into someone while simultaneously trying to keep spencer out of the fire all while I’m taking a picture.  🙂

As we were leaving, Spencer was standing in the parking lot with his little pumpkin waving and telling all the cars bye-bye as they drove off!  Sweet boy.

Overall it was a fun night and we’ll definitely go again next year…but will be hoping for actual Fall temps!

See you tomorrow!

Happy Independence Day!

If you’ve come here looking for cute pics of my boys holding a flag, I happily point you to 2013, 2012, and 2011.

For this year, I tried…but we couldn’t find the flag and my subjects were not in the mood.

Wait, what’s this…

A fake smile! I’ll take it!

Ah well, these pictures still make me laugh.  We’ll still celebrate with some fireworks and burgers, smiles or not! Happy 4th of July to you all!
