Halloween 2014

Halloween!!! I love that Liam is getting older and we are getting to enjoy these fun holidays with him. He got to choose the face that we carved in the pumpkin. Here he is showing it off.

Ryan tried to get him to get all the seeds out. Liam is kind of a weenie and was not about to touch that slimy stuff! Can't say I don't blame him!

We wanted to make sure we included the twins. Even though they are small they shouldn't be left out!!!

My job was to carve.

Unfortunately, we got caught up in all the festivities and forgot to take a picture with the finished product ;( Oh well, maybe next year I will remember!

Halloween morning Kelcey and I got up and ran at the park. We are trying to get rid of these baby bellies!

Captain America ready to go trick or treating around the square!

We met up with Kelcey and her kids and John and Joann brought Hudson up to the funeral home so mom could see them all.

Ayden and Liam

Ansleigh the kitty cat!

My ninja turtles, Leonardo & Raphael

Hudson the monster joined in!

Waiting in line… in the rain :(

Hanging out a Nanny's house.

It's funny looking back at when Liam was a baby and the fact that I would have NEVER given him a sucker. These boys are lucky!

Visiting Super Aunt Leslie and Marlisa

Waiting in line at First Baptist Church Trunk or Treat. Because of the rain they moved it inside. We waiting outside in the freezing cold rain for about 30 minutes.

Playing bean bag toss with Dr. Cox. He was tossing them in the floor instead of at the holes. We need to work on that! Haha!!

After the church we made our way to my parents house … I look back as I am pulling into their driveway and this is what I see. Poor boy couldn't hang! Too much fun for one day!

This is my fit bit sleep log. The dark blue is the time I am sleeping. They light blue are the times I am restless and the pink is how often I was awake. This was Halloween night. They rainy cold left Liam with a 102 fever, snotty nose and super whiny! On top of the babies getting up multiple times that night to eat, I didn't get much sleep. I was awake 15 times and restless 27 times. And I wonder why I am tired all the time.

Poor boy not feeling good. He wanted me to snuggle with him. All he did that next day was sleep.

Late night feedings!

Cedarwood Pumpkin Patch

Fall means cooler weather, longer sleeves, Alex's Halloween party and a trip to the Cedarwood Pumpkin Patch!

This year our friend Alex had his Halloween party at Cedarwood Pumpkin Patch. Last year he had it at Grandaddy's Farm. They do it just for fun and the kids have a blast. Katy and I have been friends for a long time (since middle school) and I am glad that our kids are getting to grow up together!

Liam wanted nothing to do with petting the bunny …. lame.

He did, in fact, want to pet the miniature pony. Later on in the day another miniature pony would kick him. See Liam, you should of just pet the bunny!

Watching the piggies root in the mud!

Riding the train. He refused to ride by himself. I wish he would start to do more things alone. He is such a chicken! I guess I better enjoy it because I know it won't last too much longer! But I can't hold all 3 next time! Looks like I might be riding the train more than once next year!

The peddle cars were a workout. I couldn't drive it with Liam in my lap and he was too little to do it by himself. So, I just pushed him around. Haha!

Liam got a pumpkin painted on his face.

Ryan let Liam decide which way to go in the corn maze. I'm pretty sure we took the longest route to get out of there!

Brother being a good sport walking through the maze strapped onto momma.

Time for the hayride to pick out our pumpkin. Ryan decided to stay back and take the stroller back to the car. Yea, that left me with all 3 kids. I had help but it is still stressful in situations like this!
