Halloween

It was an absolutely gorgeous evening to go Trick or Treating this year.  Soren asked if Larryboy could make a second appearance and of course I said YES!!!  Kinley got to wear the hand-me-down cow costume from Soren...which I love for warmth!  You may note all the suckers she has in pics...being the second born she had her first taste tonite (I think Soren was atleast 2.5yrs before he got one)...and boy when one was gone she wanted a 'refill!' Hey...whatever kept her content, right!  Happy Halloween! :)

Randomness

 

Pumpkin preparation this year was NOT a hit with Soren.  He did NOT love de-gutting the pumpkin but was certainly looking forward to some roasted seeds.

 Supervising Daddy's work.

 Kinley wanting in one the action...

 not loving the taste of raw pumpkin!

 Sorry this pic is out of order....she loves to play the piano (it was pj day here!).

 The finished product.

 Reading book during pj day.

A new adventure....glasses!

Soren 'failed' his eye exam last month at his 5 yr well child checkup.  So we made an appt with the Optometrist.  Well, after a series of tests, a weekend of eye drops and lots of 'discussing' Soren now has glasses.  We JUST picked them up before naptime so I have no opinion on them yet.  But here's a pic of our little man.

 

Halloween craft

Thanks to an idea from my friend, Erica, Soren and I spent the afternoon making 'spiders!' It was an absolute hit and even more fun deciding who to deliver them to! 

So sweet....

Soren is our child that is 'up and ready' at 7am sharp!!  I, on the other hand, like to sleep as long as possible in the morning.  Well, this morning was no different..I knew he was moving around in the kitchen but I thought he was attempting to get himself some breakfast (and I was very umotivated as Kin wasn't awake yet) so I just let him be.  Well, after a few minutes he came in, rubbed my arm and head and said, "Come see what's ready in the kitchen!" THAT got me curious.....

This is what my sweet son had done...

 

 

 

Made me some yummy french toast coffee (my fav) in my fav mug!

What a great way to start my day!

Loving Harvest

My kids absolutely LOVE riding along with Scott in the combine and/or tractor!  Tonight was no exception...I think Scott enjoys it also!! :)

 

 Kinley is just 2 months older than Soren was during this harvest season....bringing her out tonite reminded me of Soren 4 yrs ago and how he tried to eat the corn just like she did!

 Same look, same family, different year and different field.

 Both kids enjoying the land.

Future occupation

This past Friday, Soren told our babysitter that his future plans include being an artist in Chicago that rides the subways!!  Hmmmm......................
