Halloween!!

Well, it is 9:30 and Reid has come out of his room 3 times to tell us which treat he wants and which treat he doesn't want in the morning. He said that he wants to come down and show me!! Quinn finally stopped singing in his room. Thank goodness he is still in his crib, or we'd have two kids out of bed. Needless to say, they had a pretty fun day!! We started off the morning at a jump place and ended up having some friends over to trick-or-treat!

We ate pizza and start the evening off early. Here is a cute picture of the kids...BC (Before Candy)! Three Spidermen! Is the world ready? Here are a few of the grown-ups...some were dressed as beer and some were drinking beer! Matt and I dressed up, too. He was the sexy construction worker and I was a Native American.Our first house!! Three of the kids were so excited they ran right in and were all the way in the back of the house before we knew it. We had to give a quick "what not to do while you are trick-or-treating" talk.  So funny!
Andrew and Reid
Those Jack-O-Lanterns are getting pretty heavy!!
Quinn isn't about to drop those suckers!
Reid and Quinn were both struggling to carry their loot. I offered again and again to help them out. They wouldn't hear of it!! They had to carry it by themselves!! Reid needed two hands!!
Look how full this is!!!! Quinn had to lean to one side to carry it, but would he let me help? Oh no!!The minute we walked into the house, the costumes were off. So thirsty!! But are we going to set down the candy? Not a chance!!!

BOOAPALOOZA

On Monday my mother's group had a Halloween party for all of the kids. I helped plan it and there were about 72 people there. The weather was beautiful and the kids had a blast. On of the mother's in-laws had this big piece of land and they volunteered it. It was perfect. Lots of space for the kids to run. We even had a hayride! 

Superman!!


Spiderman!
Candy!!!



Thomas the Train was a hit!!
Aidan and Eli were superheros, too!!
Four wheeling with Julian and Gabriel!

Having fun on the hayride!

I laughed so hard when the boys were trying to eat donuts off strings without their hands!!



Wings Over Houston

We went to the air show this past weekend. We didn't exactly pay for a ticket (it is pretty loud and the kids' attention span is short). We parked at the Boeing parking lot and watched from the side. Actually, lots of people do that because it backs up the the air show. Unfortunately, we got there right as they were flying the remote control planes. Needless to say, it wasn't so exciting. It was so funny because the kids kept asking, "When are we going to the air show!!??" So here we are!! Weee!! So much fun!!

Planes!!

After Fire Fest our friends, Sanda and Stewart, invited us to check out the planes that Stewart works on. This was clearly the highlight of the day. 

Million dollar planes all around...and where did the boys want to be? on the fork lift!

All clear for takeoff!
Don't get too excited, Reid, it is an expensive hobby...you either, Daddy!

Fire Fest

We went to Fire Fest last weekend and it was really cool. The boys got to see the firefighters put out fires and do different demonstrations. We met up with several families in my mom's group. We all have boys...here they are...




The boys enjoyed the cars as much as the firetrucks!
This was Quinn's favorite. He LOVES monster trucks!

Feeding Ducks with Connor

Three Billy Goats Gruff!!!
A little ice cream treat at Chick-fil-a!

Pumpkin Patch



Today we went to a pumpkin patch...this is my favorite picture!
Reid was climbing on the pumpkins...fell off and lost his shoe in the process. 
Pumpkin Patch past....

Chef Reid and Quinn

Once again it was Hat Day at our house...I love these pictures!!


Bar-B-Q

We had our Clear Lake friends over for a bar-b-q. We made my Uncle Dennis' famous shrimp recipe...which I will take to the grave!! It was yummy. We had such a great time. All of the adults hung out outside drinking wine while the kids played inside. Reid LOVES Nathan & Joey...and Quinn has a crush on Megan. When they left, Reid said, "Nathan and Joey are my best friends!!" They were all so cute together. 

So cute!

Looking at the stars...
We usually never get a group picture!!
