The Boyd 5: HALLOWEEN!

HALLOWEEN!

The boys had a ball this year dressing up, going to the schools fall festival and trick-or-treating. We had fun enjoying it all with them. I don't mean to brag but they are just super fun kids to do stuff with. Cohen was a little under the weather last week so we took it fairly easy. On Friday night we went to Lachlan's Fall Festival. He was so into it...going from game to game collecting all the candy he could. I didn't see him most of the time. I love that he is becoming so confident and sure of himself. Cohen still stayed close and Mack was all over the place. Our little school did a great job!

Halloween started off with a visit to Terry and Donna's. Terry was dressed as a Knight and when we walked up to the front door he was still as could be. The boys later said "We thought he was a statue" :). Mack was absolutely freaked out about his mask but as soon as he took it off all was well. We did a little trick or treating around their neighborhood with some of the kids from Lachlan's school. After that we headed to Great Grandma's house and saw Grandma and Grandpa too (Drew's mom and stepdad). They loved seeing the boys. Then we went trick-or-treating in our old neighborhood and it was a hoot to see some neighbors we hadn't seen for a while. A lot of them couldn't believe the boys were so big and that we had another baby! Time flies!

Mack is 22 months now! He's getting so big and doing such fun things. He's a little ham and loves attention.

The bathroom remodel is almost done. The tile will be done this week and then I'll get some pictures posted.

I've been making lots of soups and new recipes lately. It's been fun to try some new things. The soups have been a big hit! Soup always tastes yummy in the cold weather. Our favorites have been Mexican Chicken Tortilla Soup, Chunky potatoe swiss chowder and potatoe and leek.

Enjoy November! We have so much to be thankful for!
