Trick or Treat...

Happy Halloween :). Hope yours was warmer and dryer than ours!! We had a fun one, but it was definitely cold and wet! So, we kept our night short and simple, but the kids still had a great time! They loved planning their costumes and getting ready! Shaelyn and Monreau went as Mary and Laura from Little House on the Prairie (Shaelyn has read the books and they are in love with the show). McLleyton was a dinosaur and Stenn wore McLleyton's old monkey costume!

No posing for pictures this year, Stennson is off....

Doing life with cousins makes everything more fun!!

Sweet Shae...

Every bit of our life is more fun because of Monreau

Such a big boy keeping up with everyone!!

Bundled up!

Snuggling afterwards... with candy goo still on his face!

Already missing it...

Last night at dinner my kids were all talking about how much they miss the cottage! We are so blessed that my parents graciously open the doors and allow us to come be with them all summer long! It's a kids paradise... and a mom paradise too, because there are so many things to do with them and it's the perfect break from normal day to day life! (and 45 minutes from home!!). We do not take for granted what a huge gift and blessing this is :)! Plus I love the fact that my kids are with their aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. There is no one else I'd rather have pouring into their little lives than the people I love the most! I loved how McLleyton became my dads special Saturday morning coffee partner and Shaelyn would carry around the youngest cousin Adelyn like she was her own baby :). It's a precious time in life!!

Of course I have so many pictures from summer and I have not kept up on editing them like I wish... but as I went through I picked a few favorites! They are too good of memories not to record!

The very fun 4 three year olds!! Oh the fun (and trouble) these 4 are going to have!!
