Trunk or Treat

At our church each year they hold a Trunk or Treat.  Its such a fun event, the boys love it and I have to admit, I enjoy it too!  We normally have carnival games before hand for about 45 minutes then the trunk or treat.  As usual I like to do family costumes and every year, so far, we have gone with Noah's choice of theme.  This year he wanted to be Darth Maul.  Yes, out of all the cool super heroes or good guys our there my son wanted to be Darth Maul.  Mind you, as far as bad guys go, Darth Maul is pretty cool!  Anyways, Star Wars wasn't a bad theme to go with, so last week I started making costumes, Roman was going to be Obi Wan, Noah, Darth Maul and Matthias, Hans Solo.  So you're probably wondering why I didn't mention my costume.  I don't know, I normally do dress up for these things, but me being 36 weeks pregnant, I just couldn't think of a good enough Star Wars costume.... for all those male readers yes there may be some ideas you could come up with, with which my husband kindly suggested, jokingly I add, but yes, pregnant Leia or pregnant Amidala was not going to happen either.  Instead I came up with what I thought was ingenious; a t-shirt that said "Star Wars: the force is strong with this one!".  Our boot/trunk even got a space Star Wars theme, I even gave out mini light sabers (aka glow sticks).  Here are the photos.


The boys hadn't got any candy at this stage...that's why I'm sure they had the sad faces! :)






In preparation we also did a bit of pumpkin painting.  I thought it was best not to carve any pumpkins with a crazy, excited 5 year old and a 2 year old.  They LOVED painting them though, and I have to admit so did I!  (Noah told me what I needed to paint!).




So we are going out again tonight with family!  The boys just love this time of year...I'm hoping we don't get too much candy....even though my boys don't have allergies, I am a big supporter of the teal pumpkin.  Anyway, Happy Halloween everyone!

Easter Fun

We really loved having a week off for Easter Break!  It was very much needed, for all of us.  I love having Noah at home.  He's such a great help and now that he's older, he's a real good buddy for me.  We have really great, grown up conversations, I love it.  We just really enjoyed family time, seeing old friends and eating lots of chocolate.  Isn't that what school breaks are all for?!  Here are a few photos of our fun.

It kind of snowed.....twice

Image
So my lovely little (or not so little) cutie pies were really excited to move here for one main reason...SNOW!  They had never seen or can remember seeing snow.  So after hearing that last years snow fall was a crazy amount and the schools were closed, they were super excited for this winter. (A lot more so than mummy, let me tell you!)  If there is one thing I have learned from moving here, although I do like it here, I DO NOT like cold weather!  I just cannot stay warm....but hey that's another story.  A few weeks back we did indeed get snow. This was the second time this year.  It was a very little but it pleased my children all the same!  They had fun in the snow till their fingers froze.  There was enough snow to make a snowman this time so they were happy. View from our front door Noah trying to make a snow angel.  The snow had unfortunately frozen, because of freezing rain, but it did make a little indent. Noah p...
