Hope you don’t get spooked today!! Happy Halloween!
It’s almost Halloween! The boys had the Boo Bash at school on Friday last week and, despite the drizzly, cold weather, had the BEST time! We didn’t go full costume for school and just went as a football and baseball player…

They had all kinds of fun games…


including a cake walk where both Maxwell and Spencer won. We got to take home a full cake and 18 cookies! Just what we needed!

Also, just so I remember, here’s what I made for the cake walk. Pans of brownies with an icing spider web and a spider! easy!

There were even rides too! So so fun!


Spencer clearly LOVED them! (I’m sure Maxwell did too but he was off with his friends and didn’t care about walking around with me! ha!)




It really was a fun day with sweet school friends!





Maxwell’s class…

and Spencer’s!

Happy almost Halloween from these two!

Boo bash success!
Both boys had great fall baseball seasons! Maxwell is a solid player who continues to steadily improve. He had some really good plays this season and proved to be a great pitcher (not pitching but playing the pitcher position). He might not have wanted to play pitcher (he wanted to be at first!) but he proved he was someone the team could count on!

Spencer had so much fun playing coach pitch and never had to go to the tee even once! He got to play first quite a bit and had several legitimate outs!

We all had fun entertaining ourselves at the ballpark – icees all around! We even kept score with the help of GJ at one of the last games!


I sadly had to miss Maxwell’s last game and apparently he had the game of his life! Made a double play, caught a pop fly in the outfield, and just played great all the way around. He was pretty proud to get the game ball on that final game! Woohoo!

I missed Maxwell’s game because I was at Spencer’s next to last game! A slightly rainy and fun night!

Goooo Cubs!


It was a great season for this awesome Dodger and this fantastic Cub!


Their favorite cheerleader had a good season too! 🙂


Always fun at the ole ballgame! Who’s ready for spring ball?!
On Friday night of last week Robert and Maxwell went on their cub scout campout. Thankfully it wasn’t nearly as cold as last year and they had pre-constructed tents to sleep in! Hardly roughing it at all!

(yes, that is the best picture I got from Robert!)
I decided to be nice and let the Bobbsey twins sleep with me back at home. Considering how pitiful I slept with the two of them in the bed I’m pretty sure I was the one roughing it! ha!

On Saturday night, I took the kids to see the Kidz Bop concert! Well, I took 2 of my kids. Spencer decided to go to a birthday party he got invited to so Maxwell got to invite Jack to come with us. We met up with some friends before and everyone was excited…



We were up in the cheap seats but it was fine. The kids enjoyed it and everyone was dancing along in their seat…well, mostly everyone. 🙂

Samantha really didn’t like it when it got too loud in there though! ha!

My favorite line of the night was when she turned to me during one song and said excitedly, “Momma! Alvin, Simon, and Theodore sing this song!” Love her.

Can’t wait to take them all to a real concert someday!!
Cutest biker gang I’ve ever seen!



Just don’t leave the little one behind…

She doesn’t like it one bit! ha! Have a good weekend!
