Happy Halloween 2014

This was an interesting year for us for costumes. After watching the movie BoxTrolls, Andrew had decided he wanted to be one. But then in the days (literally...days) leading up to it he decided he just wanted to be a box. I told him people would ask what he was, so he decided to be a special delivery box and had Chris help cut out an opening where he had a hanger holding his bag inside. 

                                                                  Andrew and his buddy Joey

 I had not tried Julian's lion costume on and it lasted about 10 minutes.  Ryan knew he was going to be a Power Ranger, and before we went to the mall for trick-or-treating, he had the costume on all day. Ten minutes before it was time to leave he informed me he couldn't find it. So he was Batman (sort-of) to the mall! I searched high and low and found the costume in the gym late that night!

                                            Ryan found some buddies from school

 On Halloween night, our neighborhood has a cute party before we all head out. The weather was great to not have to bundle up.

 And this is the best picture I got of all three...

We hope your families had a fun and cavity free night!

Pumpkin Carving

Carving pumpkins! The things that I am always so excited about end up being so much more work.  If we don't tell all of our parents how thankful we are for everything you did and still do, THANK YOU! Ryan and Andrew were actually pretty good this year and carved their own pumpkins. We just really had to cut the tops off and help a little. 

Those are hot wheels in case you were wondering-

Dougherty's visit

We had a fun weekend with some NYC friends Mary, Dennis and Quinn.  The boys all picked right up where they left off and were great play buddies for the weekend. 

           Just a few goodies we ate over the weekend...the Levain cookies didn't make it in a picture before Chris and I ate them...

 We headed over to Webers Farm on Saturday for all their fun fall activities.  The boys did everything they offered and it turned out to be a beautiful day.

                                  Hayride

                                         Love their huge hay maze

                                    These pictures crack me up

It was nice to catch up and we can't wait to visit the city again in a few weeks. Thanks for traveling down to see us guys!
