Picture Heavy Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween! We started with an embarrassing attempt to carve pumpkins...


 Quinlin preferred to draw instead...

 Sean's pumpkin looked like Quinlin could have drawn on it (kidding, but it was pretty sad looking)
 Our finished product
 Posing with our pumpkin
 Quinlin only wanted the candy...
  Happy because she found a box of nerds.
  


 



 See this blue bowl? Yeah... that was the last time I saw it too. Who takes the bowl in addition to the candy? Ugh.

 Getting gloves on by Aunt Jen. It was cold outside!
 He wouldn't put the football down. That came trick or treating with us.

 Quinlin pulled the wagon.
 And got in...with her sucker. The sucker and sean's empty beer can make for a great picture.
  I love her curls poking through out of her costume.

Note to self...

Do not leave the computer on and in site of curious little hands. I do not know what said 3 year old's curious hands exactly pressed, but after coming downstairs to Sean yelling for me to get down there I discovered some images on the computer not meant for little eyes (or big eyes for that matter and I am not a prude). Oh the crazy internet.
Owen "Mommy- they were n_ked" not even realizing exactly what he was looking at.
Sean "Oh Owen- they must have just taken a bath"

Good explanation, Sean. We quickly asked Hunter if he was playing on the computer. An even quicker "no" came from his mouth that he isn't stupid and wouldn't risk being grounded forever. So- note to self...shut down if not in use.

She's too early for terrible two's...right?

Favorite words this morning (and lately actually)... "Mine" and "I do it". 
I think we have a long road ahead...

Weekend Recap- a Pumpkin Patch (picture heavy)

Another low key weekend for us. We wanted to take the kids to an inflatable jump zone on Friday night but Mr. Owen didn't cooperate so we stayed in. Hunter went to the high school football game and I caught up on my dvr. all in all- not a bad night.

On Saturday, I drove to where I grew up and attended a wake for a friend from high school who's father passed away. it was nice to see old high school friends- people I had lost touch with though reconnected with on facebook. Very low key, happy event- they wanted it that way. I came home and we packed up the babies for their first sleep over from home. They went to my in-laws and did pretty well. Sean and I didn't plan anything- wanted to be local and close in case we needed to pick them up that night. We went to dinner at an Italian restaurant and then briefly walked around the mall. and home by 9:30... such losers! ha! We talked about going to a movie, but again, if we needed to rush over there, needed to be available. When we got home, the house was quite. it was a weird feeling to not have them there.

Sunday morning Sean went fishing. I waited for Hunter to wake up and then we headed over to my in laws about 11am to get the kids. They did well there, though Quinlin wouldn't go to sleep. We've been having this issue with her at home too but are staying firm and letting her cry it out. Instead of sleeping in the crib at Grandma's, they fell asleep together in the queen size bed- holding hands. Is that not the cutest thing? I brought them home about 1pm for nap time, watched some football and when they woke up we went to the local pumpkin patch. We loved it.

We brought home two pumpkins, kettle corn and a caramel apple. Hope to carve the pumpkins tonight!
