Halloween 2014

What a day we had with our Super Family!

Batman, Two-Face, Robin, Catwoman and The Joker, had an awesome day!

In the morning, our family prepared for our big Halloween Party.  We changed things around a bit this year, because all the kids had off from school.  Therefore, we had a Halloween Playdate and lunch.

 

Our party was set with bean-bag toss, bounce house, Ghost Knock Down, and a lunch buffet for both grown-ups and kids.  

 (each kid got a boxed lunch in a Monster box each uniquely designed by our family last weekend)

 Guests arrived quickly and all the kids had a great time!

Anderson, Patrick and Finnegan

Sully, Liliana and Jenna

 All 28 Kiddos!

 We had so many sweet girls at the party in fabulous costumes.  

I loved being surrounded by the princesses!

 Melissa and her adorable animals!

 Catwoman and her friends!

Before we knew it, the party was over and packed up.

We headed over to Mom and Dads for dinner and Trick or Treating!

 Mom was all dressed up in her beautiful witch hat 

We had a great time walking the neighborhood, going to the community haunted house, and seeing all the decorated homes. 

It truly was a great day with friends and family!

Boosterthon Fun Run

Today the boys participated in the school's Fun Run.  

They both ran over 2 miles for their school and did an awesome job!

Wordless Wednesday

Masterpiece Monday

Finnegan loves his art classes and has been thriving.  We are so proud of our artist.  

Here are a few of his recent masterpieces.

The Runny Rainbow

3D Turtle

 Pointillism 

Sick Day

Today Finn came down under the weather, he was definitely in need of a sick day.  I was so proud of him, instead of vegging on the couch, he asked if he could still do his research and "genius hour".  So, armed with my laptop, Finn studied all about the gem mines in Mexico and made a poster to bring to school.  

In the afternoon, he mustered up enough energy to make some lego creations with Sully.  This one, "Minecraft Finnegan" is my favorite.

I'm glad Finny is feeling better and even happier he made the most of his day at home.

Family Pumpkin Patch Trip

Today, after our Cub Scouts sold popcorn at church, we went to Hall Family farm.

We conquered the corn maze, played on the tractors, and then chose the largest pumpkins in the patch!

 

Boo Bash!

Today we left the house with time to spare before soccer began.  We headed across to Blakeney for their annual Boo Bash.

Finnegan went straight to the face painter for a batman face!

Sully and Patrick enjoyed the giant bounce house with slides 

(and no lines because it was so early in the morning!)

 They went on tons of rides and had a great time before soccer began.

 

(sully and i enjoyed this ride too but it was going to fast for me to take pictures!)

Wordless Wednesday

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Neighbor Dinner

Tonight we went out to dinner with our neighbors and great friends.  

The boys loved going out late on a Saturday night with all the grownups.  

Joe picked a great choice for the boys - Bad Daddy Burger Bar.

A dinner with great friends, yummy burgers and milkshakes!

Playing Hookie!

Today, Sully and I played hookie from preschool for an outing uptown with Bridget, Emily and Kara. The girls invited us to see 101 Dalmations at the Children's Theater so we took the train uptown together. 

The kids played outside Imaginon before the show began...

and loved their "high seats" in the theather.

Such an awesome outing with sweet friends.  I'm so glad we took the day off of the routine to enjoy this day with our friends.

Finnegan's First tooth!

Last night Finnegan lost his first tooth!

Even though it was late at night, 

we got his pillow out for the tooth fairy (thank you Nannie), took pictures 

and called Nannie and PopPop to tell them the news.

When Finny finally got to sleep it was well after 10:30 with his pillow safely tucked in next to him.  He woke up in the morning to find a gift from the tooth fairy and two excited brothers that couldn't believe they missed all the action because they were sleeping!
