Big News!

First and foremost...we have a BIG announcement...baby #3 will be making his/her debut at the end of May! I am in my 12th week of pregnancy and we could not be happier!! Little punkin' danced for us yesterday on the big screen, as well as sucked its little thumb! Heartbeat was strong and in the 160's...I cannot wait to feel the little punkin' move!

And of course...a few snippets from our pretty boring week at home. We battled a virus, cuddled up next to the fire to stay warm and were raring to go with energy once the sickness ran its course!

Zoned out from watching too much TV while sick...

We are a constant mess. Constant. Anybody else trip over toys non-stop??

Trick or Treat!

We headed over to the Hipsh's neighborhood to trick or treat again this year, and it never fails to blow us away. Each and every house is decorated to impress and the candy flows like crazy. Kids and parents fill the streets and sidewalks...quite the experience for our boys...just the way I picture Halloween to be!!

Wade kept right up with Campbell and David, proudly holding out his bag, saying "trick or treat" and exclaiming "thank you" each and everytime! He LOVED it! The B-man wasn't quite sure and preferred to hang back with Mommy and Daddy. He started to gather up the courage towards the end of the night, but remained painfully shy. Crazy to see how their little personalities are extremely different. Even though the cape and gloves did not make an appearance, their costumes were still a hit! Happy Fall Y'all!

Pumpkins galore!

Our tradition continues at the same "patch":

1st, 2nd and 3rd Halloween's!

This year, they thought it was perfectly acceptable to throw the pumpkins at each other. Fun times!

It's a Halloween Party!!

Brody and Wade's school throws an annual Halloween parade, where each class proudly marches out of the back door, showing off their costumes to the anxiously awaiting crowd of parents, grandparents and siblings! They start with the infant room and work their way up the VPK. You should see the vast array of responses we received when the kiddos realized there were actual people there to help celebrate with them! Most of the young ones were overwhelmed, but by the time the "3's" turn rolled around, they had it going on! We remain grateful to the incredible staff at their school...thank you for all that you do!

16 pics from the 1000 that I took............

One little side note: B and W were beyond excited to go to their party at school. They talked about it all morning long. The whole way to school I must have heard the word party 30 times, and it is only a 10 minute drive. But one little moment stole my heart. I heard the B-man, quietly singing to himself, "Happy Birthday to Meeee!!!"....he honestly thought the party at school was for his birthday. I love him.

All pumped up baby

Our practice run with the costumes. I know you are humming the Rocky theme song in your head...come on. feel it.

Sadly, this is the most action the capes and gloves saw all October long............
