Happy Halloween At Home!

 This Halloween, given that we're in the middle of a global pandemic, we decided to follow the CDC's guidelines and STAY HOME! So, no trick or treating this year. No handing out candy. Weird! We still managed to have a lot of fun at home, though! {And you better believe I still had plenty of candy for my boys!}

We painted pumpkins and bobbed for apples. Fun, fun!

















This And That

 WOW. November has been a crazy month! I can't wait to publicly share some information, but I'll hold off on that for now. Suffice it to say, I've felt like my head is whirling a bit these days! Thank goodness for iPhones and the ability to snap a pic quickly. Charlotte is getting so big! Notice in these pics how she scrunches up her nose when she smiles. It's too cute!



My mom made this corduroy turkey dress for Charlotte. We went together to the Stitchin' Post and picked out the fabric. I think that's so fun! My mom whipped this out seriously fast. I'm so impressed with her sewing; I'll never be the seamstress she is!





Just a little pant suit for our future attorney, okay!?


Of course, it's US so we've managed to break away into the woods once or twice. Always HEAVEN. In these pics, we're smiling REAL BIG because of some happy national news that we found out in the middle of our hike!







Henry still changes his name daily and there are multiple costumes changes as well. Here he is as "Spacey the Space Guy."


And here he is as "Dr. Ryan, Vas-clee-ur Surgeon." Haha!

Baby sister sits in the grass on Tuesdays while the boys have their tennis lessons. To be honest, it's not sweet time. It's more like torture time. Last week, I called Poison Control for the first time in over a decade of parenting because I looked over and Charlotte had a mushroom in her mouth. Good grief!





Jack presented Sir Edmund Hillary to his second grade class on "Hero in History Day." I'm so proud of this boy! He's a great speaker and I believe he will grow to become a great leader one day!


There's a storm trooper in my kitchen! {He's four years old and super cute!}
