The cutest sad dragon with Elsa and Messi

This year was my favorite year of Trick or Treating so far.  We went with the neighbors. We had great weather and the kids never tired of running door to door getting more candy. It took Hudson a little while to get used to his dragon costume.

The princess finally rescues the dragon and brings him to the land of trick or treat.

My Birthday Girl

I couldn't be more thankful for Eva.  She still sings and dances everywhere she goes.  Once she gets there she either kisses Hudson, hugs me or tries to hug Luke.  She is super sweet to her baby brother.  She runs to his rescue in time of need.  She loves doing all the things her big brother does too.  She has transitioned to Kindergarten without even being tired.  Her teacher loves her work ethic, the pride she takes in her work, that she is a great example to the class, and that she can have fun too.  She is doing really well in both math and reading.  She is a good friend. I still love all of my love notes from her.

How do I get to be so lucky?

We always like to go to Eberts to celebrate Eva's birthday as well.

Cozy Nook

We love getting our pumpkins at Cozy Nook.  The kids run from pumpkin to pumpkin surprised that they look just as they did last year.  They love the biggest and the littlest.  They love to visit the small calf in the barn.  It is precious to watch them here year after year.

 This year they were trying to make the tractor operate at top speed.  One would shift while the other would steer.

Happy Birthday Eva

Eva has been planning her birthday party for 353 days.  She has been so excited talking about every girl that she wanted to invite.  We had her party at Kids in Motion and everyone had a great time.

We also got to celebrate with the cousins.  Andrew, Bennett, and Boden also have fall birthdays so we went on a hike at Lapham Peak and out to eat at the Delafield Brewhouse.

 Bennett recieved his "Make a Wish."  He will be going to Spain to meet Messi, the world's top soccer player.  The Make a Wish staff gave Bennett balloons and the cake below to celebrate.  They leave for their trip next week.  We are proud of you Bennett.

 Bennett loves Hudson and we love that they kind of look like brothers.  Bennetts hair is super cute growing back.

Camp Swamp Fox

From Luke:

My dad and I went to Camp Long Lake for cub scouts.  In the pictures me and Caleb are going from activities to have free time.

We did rope making, BB guns, archery, bottle rockets, free time, kickball, wood project, wall climbing, and games.  It was cold on Sunday morning, it was 31 degrees Fahrenheit when we woke up in our tent.  I had a mummy sleeping bag and cot so I kept warm. 

Happy 70th Birthday

We celebrated Jan's Birthday 2 months late and still had great weather.  We had all the family in one place at the same time.  We are so thankful for the family we have.
