First School Pictures!

Brennan's first school pictures are here!  He looks so grown up, like a little man!  The other picture is a piece of writing from earlier in the school year which had been displayed on the wall.

Halloween fun

We are busy planning a big costume party because the boys insisted that we needed to host one but our week leading up to the main event has been a busy one.  Last night was the Gettysburg Halloween parade.  Brennan and I walked in the parade with his school. Their theme was Halloween Hoe Down.  They sang a song that they learned as part of their Hoe Down earlier this year.  Tonight we finally got around to carving pumpkins.  I can usually duplicate pinterest ideas but pumpkins are just not my specialty.  Jace and I worked on the owl.  Brennan drew the face of a power ranger and Nate carved it for him.  We will do a little trick or treating on Friday and then host our big party on Saturday.  It wouldn't be right if I didn't share a few more pictures of leaves that I took on Monday.

Hoe down ready

The kids did awesome in the parade, adorable!  Brennan sang and walked the whole way.

Not a great picture but here they are taking in the parade after Brennan and I were done walking...they were into it.  Go to the Evening Sun and check out their pictures...neat stuff at the parade last night.  

Digging in!

Not so sure!

Along Old Route 30

It's truly beautiful here, pictures don't do it justice.

So glad that we put a ribbon around this tree and saved it!

Picture perfect

Beauty "FALL" Around

How did you like that title?!  Pretty clever, huh?  This is the most beautiful fall that I can remember...I think it's at it's peak this weekend.  We are fortunate to have gorgeous colors out every window and the drive along Old Route 30 is picture perfect.  We've been busy, busy, busy...Friday we had a fall event at the school, yesterday it was soccer and pictures, today we had several friends over.  This week we'll be getting ready for our costume party which the boys insisted that we have.  So hopefully I can pull that off...I have not been planning ahead or pinteresting appropriately!

Jace was having fun with Nana and Pap so Brennan got treated to his first hibachi dinner 

and a trip to Target where he asked me to take his picture in the circle...

A boy and his blankies...

This is what it looks like when Daddy comes home from hunting!

Brennan's artwork and school work.  If you look clsoe you'll see kindergarten is more advanced (at least from what I remember) than 30 years ago

 FALL...this makes living int he middle of nowhere worth it!
