Pilgrims and Indians! Oh my!

The boys were thrilled to look forward to Thanksgiving after the sadness of another Halloween passing by. Each of their schools had a special Thanksgiving feast. B had to bring in a crock pot full of green beans! That's a lot of beans! Needless to say we are still eating them! And C and A each had to bring in one fruit for a fruit salad. C picked blueberries as his favorite. He actually asked for them weeks ago for a 'pie' that he and his buddy Martin were making! I am pretty sure I have never seen him eat a blueberry in his life! Oh well. It was so much fun picking them up from school in their new hats! How fun that their teachers are telling them all about this all important FEAST!

Looking forward to the next big holiday!

Today the boys and I took our annual Christmas card photos. I try to pick the last nice day of fall so I can get them outside. It is always an adventure and I usually end up very frustrated. It actually went pretty well this year, except for A--who only wanted to eat sand. C made me feel better about my difficulty getting A to pose--he is always on the lookout for the next holiday. Today he said, 'Mommy, is it chicken day yet?'. Too funny!

Halloween Treats!

I forgot to show off the treats! B is obsessed with 'cooking' Halloween food. So here is our ghost cookies and spider pizzas. Too bad the kid was sick and couldn't pose. C stood in for him! OK--now I think Halloween is over!

Have I mentioned A isn't really into posing for pictures? Here are the costumes! It is finally trick or treat night and this Halloween season has come to a close! Until next year...now to work on filling out Aunt Peggy's scrapbook of memories. I have been told that I will have a house full of Ironman's next Halloween! Can't wait!

Pumpkins, pumpkins, and more pumpkins!

The boys were so proud of their many pumpkins. B entered his school contest and won first place! He was very excited and we were very proud! C got his pumpkin on his school field trip. He couldn't stop talking about it! And A didn't really care about his pumpkin, or posing with it for that matter!

Halloween Week!

The boys adore Halloween, even more than Christmas, I think! It seems like the fun never ends. We started Halloween week with a Halloween party at Church. We also carved pumpkins and ate pumpkin pancakes for dinner! Matt was so sweet to carve the boys giant pumpkins. Here are some pics of our fun!

Pumpkin Patch!

We took Grandma and Grandpa back to Deanna Rose! This time we enjoyed the awesome fall weather and pumpkins! The big boys rode horses--they were so brave! It was a PERFECT day!!
