october happenings: week four

The last week in October is one of my favorites of the whole year.  First, I make the kids sit for a picture in their costumes.  This earns me lots of "fun mom" points with them and puts us all in a good mood!  #savetheglareforyourteenyearsgirlie

There have been piles of leaves everywhere we go and it's so much fun to throw them every which way!  Noel was in the carrier while we walked Asher home from school and was just staring at these 2, trying to figure out why they are acting so crazy.  ha!

A cold snap of 50* hit us the other day and Hadley was NOT ready.  "It's so cold mommy" - hopefully she grows some thicker skin before winter really hits.  She's still a Southern girl, so it's not looking good.

This guy has no complaints about the cold.  I think he's tucked under there somewhere!

Hadley was so excited to open her birthday present and see Maryellen looking up at her!  These two girls are new best friends.  

Happy 4th birthday Hadley!

Sweet Noel loves it when the big kids are at school.  One-on-one time with mommy?  Yes, please!

All of the fun wore us out and H and I ended up with a cold at the end of the week.  It's nothing that a little vitamin C and snuggles won't cure.

 Gus has decided to go full on mobile so we had to activate the security systems and get some baby gates installed.  He isn't impressed and keeps checking for weaknesses.  The big kids have been SO good about opening and closing the gates.  They take Noel's safety very seriously.

It was a great October and we're excited for the fun to come.  Who else things the last 2 months of the year are the best?!
