What a blessed fall it has been here in Canada!!!
"How kind the Lord is! How good He is! So merciful, this God of ours!" Psalm 116:5
We were blessed with AMAZING weather on Halloween!! The kids were able to carve their pumpkins outside and Trick or Treat without snowsuits covering their costumes!! Woot! Woot! It sometimes truly really is the small things y'all!!! :)
We had fun making some Halloween treats and decorating, the kids were off school for "Faith Day" kind of funny, or really just lucky for those teachers! Ha! It was nice having the whole day for Halloween fun!
I of course really tried to convice the gang to go with matching costumes...how cute to theme them, right? Yeah...that didn't work out...I even got my hands on the Olaf costume for Bentley and ended up selling it because he was not negoatiating on being a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle...sigh...I guess Halloween isn't about the mom! Ha! :)
Mal was Hermoine Granger from Harry Potter, Whit was Elsa and the boys I think are pretty obvious..Ha! :) Brody kept his on for maybe 20 minutes...he was not into the hat or slipping and slidding on the hardwood floors!! ;)
The kids had a great time trick or treating...Scott took them out along with some friends of ours...the moms stayed back and hung out with Brody while giving out the candy! :) We got the best job! Ha! ;) Whit was pretty happy with her loot...
Thankful for these sweet friends!!
My little man's first costume!! Last year we hadn't been released from the hospital yet after he was born on the 28th so he only had this costume...
Awe what a difference one year makes!! Love this little man SO much!!
and this little Ninja Turtle ;) He only took this one single picture other than the group photo...and only because I said I was showing Leo!!! :) Anything for his bestie!!
That nice weather I mentioned was short lived...here is Bentley with his "snow blower" two days later..
Mal and B have been playing soccer this fall and loving it! Of course it is indoor...this is still Canada after all...here is their number one fan!
Here is their not so great fan...she begs to not come...too bad so sad...we tell her all about all the games we watched of our sisters growing up. We talk all about being a family and supporting each other...I also told her daddy and I wouldn't have met if we didn't go to our sisters games...she is so not impressed. ;) and so totally full of sas...but man I love this little sassy pants!!
Soccer Stars!!
B's jersey is just a little long ;) Ha!
We have just been so blessed this fall! We are having fun with friends, the kids are loving school. They are having a blast with all their activities. They keep me busy running to dance, gymnastics and soccer. They love making new friends and learning new things! The time is going so fast! As anxious as I am to be home I would love to slow these monkeys down from growing so fast!! I love the crazy!! B got some costumes for his birthday...a favorite is his SWAT team outfit...he loves to arrest his sisters...we have had to put a stop to him arresting his brother...that is not very well received on Brody's end! hahahah!
We had a great time cheering on our Hometown Royal's from afar! No one even knew what our shirts were about but it was fun getting asked and being able to share!! By the time game 7 rolled around even the Calgarians knew the Royals! :) Shout out to Grandma for the great shirts!!
Shout out to my mama for keeping me warm and snuggly :) Loving my winter mittens and ear warmer!! :) They will come in handy when the high is 1 on Friday!! AHHH!!
Silly selfie with my little man! He is a mess...a total silly mess and I adore him!
This pic just cracks me up...crazy Mal decorating my birthday cake... and the M is for Mom not Mal there was some confusion with that...right, sister? ;) hahahah!! Love this silly girl to the moon and back!
Speaking of loving a silly girl to the moon and back...yep I feel the same way about her too!! :)
and another silly picture just because...somebody is getting too big too fast...is taking a step here and there and loving his birthday present. He is SO MUCH FUN!!! He is so king of the castle around here!! We all adore him!!
and one last photo in closing...I got out for a girls night and had so much fun with my dear friend, Sonia. I am so thankful for this Gal!! We have been blessed by the people and the love on this adventure!
