H A L L O W E E N!

Sean definitely understands the concept of Trick or Treating! He had a great time with his buddy, Gracyn. Then his friends Riley and Scott joined them for the fun (Woody and Jessie from Toy Story)

Nemo and Bruce!

Cheese!

They love to hold hands!

Ready, set, go!

Run, fast! Bruce is going to eat Nemo!

More friends! Woody and Jessie joined them! (Riley and Scott)

Sean's Mickey Pumpkin....oohh dark!

JMU Game and tailgating fun!

We visited JMU on Saturday to tailgate and attend the football game. Though, we did not leave the stadium with a win, we still had a great time. That wasn't Sean's first time at JMU but it was his first time in the stadium for the game. He enjoyed the game! (mostly because his buddy Gracyn came too!) Oh, and by the way, the game was a PINK OUT so that is why we are all wearing pink!

Friday night and all 3 kids.

Friday night, Dan and I offered to babysit for our great friends who needed a night out. Gracyn, as you know is Sean's best friend and she has a new brother, Tucker. It was a fun night. Dan carved a mickey mouse pumpkin and the kids had a lot of fun playing together. They even sang a few songs to Tucker!

Pumpkin time!

A new Friend.

I had a friend from HS over for dinner on Wednesday night and she brought her daugher, Keaghan over to play. The kids had a great time and got along well!

Our October Summer

Though we are sort of excited for fall weather, we did take advantage of the summer like temps in late October. It was 80 today but was comfortable in the shade at the park. Sean had a good time as you can see from the pics!

A fun weekend!

As you read, our weekend started off with a Fall Festival at Sean's school. On Saturday evening we visited friends who just had a baby, and then headed to dinner with our group of friends and the 79 children. Jk, it was only 6 (3 newborns!) but we were a spectacle in the restaurant for sure. The kids had a good time.

Playtime after dinner....Sean's coat is covered in grass now!

A little....I mean a lot nervous about being on Daddy's shoulders!

Then, on Sunday we went to the Fall Festival at our church and Sean actually got up enough courage to get his face painted. Too bad, shortly after that he stepped on a rake in the sandbox and kicked up a lot of sand into his face. So, I had to flush his eyes with water so the spider washed off. But, he did have it! It was an overall fun weekend for us! Oh, and his eyes are fine now though he was pretty upset about it-the lollipop I gave him when we got home had miraculous curing abilities!

Thinking about getting his face painted...hmm...

Yay! A spider...not to be confused with the Richmond Spiders, though!

Peek-a-boo!

Sean's Fall Festival

Sean school hosted their annual Fall Festival this evening. Sean and Gracyn dressed up and went to play. There were games, a DJ, pumpkin decorating, crafts, and of course Sean's favorite...the playground. It was a fun night for all of us. We love Sean's new school and he is happy and learning so much!

Waiting for Gracyn to arrive!

Bruce and Nemo. . .

Sean and Gracyn have a history of a "couple" costume for Halloween. They are true best friends! Check them out over the past 2.5 years. They have both changed quite a bit!

First, they were The princess and the pea (pod).
Ages 5.5 mos and 3.5 monthsThen, they were both safari animals, a monkey and a giraffe.
Ages 17 months and 15 months

And this year, they are going as Bruce (the shark) and Nemo
ages 2.5 and 2
I am hoping for a better pic but that is about as good as it gets with two 2 year olds!
This is what happened after....
ha ha ha

Me going running!

So, Sean found my headband that I wear when I run. He decided he would wear it, then he also decided that he needed to go get a running watch he knew was in the bottom drawer of the table in the foyer. He comes in and says, "Me going running". Then he takes off and goes back to the drawer and we said, "what are you doing", and he said, "me looking for me ipod mommy". Uhm, ok. . . So then he comes back looking like that for his "run" around the house. At least he knows what running is. I must run enough to have been a good influence on him! I hope he does take after his mommy and daddy! (mommy for dedication and daddy for speed!).



Running watch-check, running headband-check, running shoes-check, ipod-check. Lets go!
