Terrible 3s!
So, my dear sweet boy has taken a turn for the worst. He has started throwing tantrums, kicking/throwing sand at kids, throwing rocks at kids, pushing other kids just for fun, teasing, destroying whatever he can get his hands on, & having way too much energy. It is enough to drive me CRAZY! But then he gives me a look like this and my heart melts...thank goodness for the good times of motherhood. :)

Halloween
It always feels like Halloween lasts about a week!
Getting ready to go Trunk-or-treating! Our little pirate goes by the name of Captain Flinn (from a book) & Sleeping Beauty spent hours getting her hair to curl like that (it didn't last long).
Sammy being a good big sister and leading Alex around the school costume parade. We helped out that morning in Sammy's classroom for their Halloween party...Alex thought he was very big to participate.
Trick-or-treating that evening from the Woolf's home. There were a lot of kids. Of course, we soon all seperated. Sammy was running from house to house with the big kids. The little kids were a little slower. And Alex was in a category all to himself. He chose to talk to the person at each door. There was always a question he just had to ask them.
George and I went to the annual couples halloween party as a king and queen. It really was just the only costume I could find that fit.
We had a blast at all the festivities & have gained at least 5 lbs each from all the candy. The sugar fairy manages to take it away from the children, but it seems harder to get it away from us adults.

Pumpkin Carving
Carving the pumpkins is one of my favorite parts of Halloween. I am responsible for cleaning out the pumpkins and then George steps in and carves them. We had a lot of help this year from the kids.
Trying to get every last seed out of Sammy's pumpkin.
The family pumpkin was the slimiest I have ever seen, but Sammy didn't mind!
Alex made a pirate out of his pumpkin.
Sammy designed the carving on her pumpkin. It had a lot of freckles.
The finished product!
