Halloween

We spent a fun day as a family. In the afternoon, we enjoyed attending Daniel's class fall festival. After school we carved our pumpkins and chowed some pizza before heading out for some trick or treating fun. We ended our evening by watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Scary!

Daniel & Jared are modeling their jack-o-lantern faces

A vampire, a princess, and a pirate ready to trick or treat!

Jared decided he didn't care for the pirate costume we purchased so he went digging in the dress up box and put together a pirate outfit that he liked better!

The minute Sara walked in the door, she kicked off her princess shoes and dug into her candy, wrapper and all!

Where has the time gone?

I'm not sure when it happened but our little Daniel is looking a little more grown up. He looks so smart with his glasses.


Daniel,
You will always be mommy's angel baby!
I love you!!

Another one lost

Jared came home from school today with a little itty-bitty treasure chest. Inside the treasure chest was another lost tooth.

Whoa! My baby is losing his teeth!

Cub Scout Space Derby

Daniel participated in his very first Cub Scout Space Derby.

He did a great job of sanding, shaping, gluing, and painting his rocket.
And it was a real learning experience for mom, too!

Going...Going....GONE

Jared lost his first tooth!!

The tooth was really bothering Jared so he asked Mom to yank it. I just didn't have the heart (rather stomach) to do it. So, Jared waited patiently until Dad got home and asked him to yank.

Dad was more than willing!!

Music

Okay so my friend put a link on her blog to some amazing cello music.

I just love the deep rich sound of a cello so I had to share it too. Enjoy!!

Moments like these...

As a parent, I find myself worrying and wondering...

am I doing the right thing?

is it enough?

Then along comes a moment like this...

and I feel a peace that what we are doing as parents isn't all that bad.
