New Blog

I have run out of room for pictures on this blog and I also feel like I want a fresh blog start.  No promises but here it is! Enjoy!

Trunk or Treat

Is it really Halloween? 
 

 

 Time has been getting away from me lately! We had our trunk or treat tonight so I took a few photos before we left knowing that tomorrow they will be all about the candy! 

Caitlin was Cinderella and I think she played the part well...she really is a beautiful girl.
Andrew said she looks like Toddlers and Tiaras but its just for Halloween, no beauty pageants for this little miss.

She is so sassy!  She always wants make-up and with it being Halloween I indulged her although it lasted about an hour until she looked more like a zombie princess with mascara streaming down her cheeks.

 She could probably get a job at Disney, what do you think?

 It was cute, Carson kept mentioning Caitlin's eyes and how the make-up really made them stand out--I'm afraid for her teen years!  It's a good thing she has many uncles and two brothers!

Carson has two costumes this year; Superman (from a garage sale last summer) and Spiderman (from Christmas).  He wore Superman to the trunk or treat because there were no masks allowed and I think he looked great! 

  

Tomorrow is crazy hair day at school and he wanted black hair so I explained how Clark Kent has dark hair and I think this really made the costume better.  It's all about the details!

It's a BIRD, it's a PLANE it's SUPER CARSON!

 I was saving the best for last!  It's Owen's first Halloween! 

We love him, sooooo much!

 He seriously is THE happiest little guy {as long as I'm in arms distance}

 It really doesn't get any cuter than that!

 Owen hasn't really ever had candy...he thought he was pulling a trick on us when I gave him a Twizzler!  He thought it was hilarious! He would stick it in his mouth and a huge grin would spread across his face and then he would just start cracking up!  Gotta get the candy!

Have a safe and Happy Halloween!


 Oh yeah, we dressed up too! The Clarks Halloween party ( I could dedicate an entire post to this but I'm being lazy) Let's just say that it is something I look forward to; we get to get out and have some fun!  Dance party! It was the party of the year!  I had a blast!

Gourds

 Fall is here, I hope to stay although the weather man reports otherwise! 

 

 Fall for us means baking, crafts, visits to the pumpkin patch but it also means college football and Andrew having a Saturday date with the men in his family-Go USC!  That leaves me for several hours with the kids...this week we decided to paint our gourds.

 

 I absolutely love how Owen is peeping over the gourds with a huge grin on his face; he is seriously the happiest little boy!

This girl has so much attitude, she cracks me up!

 She was so focused on making her pink polka dots.

Carson is a perfectionist (I wonder who he inherited that trait from?!) I feel kind of bad because if it's not perfect he is disappointed...because of this, I am his personal cheer leader.

Cait was super happy until Carson wanted her to share....she didn't like that idea one bit!

"Look mom, I made it to look like me!"

 

 I can't get enough of Owen, sweetest boy, ever!  Except for Carson so I guess they are tied!

Caitlin also likes to be a little mommy and I have noticed she is happiest being productive...I wonder where she got that?!  It is always amazing to me to see part of myself in the kids; good and bad!  

So lucky they are mine!
