Happy Halloween!

I know it has been forever since I last bloged! We have had alot of fun during this fall season, although it feels more like summer than autumn! We have been to the pumpkin patch, decorated pumpkins, made pumpkin muffins, had fun at school halloween shows... like I said alot of fun.

June is almost out of the baby stage... it has gone by so fast. She keeps up with her older brother and sister no matter what they are doing. She is truely a red head, stubborn personality and everything! Did I mention she is a total climber, she started climbing out of her crib a few weeks ago so already my baby is in a big kid bed.

River is funny, anything you ask him his usual response is "shake a boom-boom"!" River what do you want to eat"..."ummm... shake a boom-boom." "River what do you want to get for your birthday"..."a new sword and shake a boom-boom!" He thinks he is so funny, so do I.

What happend to my little girl? She seems so old to me all of a sudden. Shelby is in first grade and already her and her friends are planning to move out together when they go to college... I'm not sure I even knew what college was when I was five. She tells me all the time that she is going to go to college and when she grows up she wants to be a illustrater, she love to draw pictures to go with her stories. Her knew thing is to answer me with spelling, and usually it has a very sassy tone to it... " do you understand what I said Shelby?" " Y-E-S- M-O-M!" She says this while rolling her eyes at me! Let me tell you I pick my battles, and I totally ignore her last word because at any cost she will get in the last word... kinda reminds me of her Aunt Autumn.

Halloween was so much fun. I love my kids ages, Shelby keeps up with her older boy cousins, and if she falls behind she loves being the leader for the younger cousins. River keeps up but after awhile he does fall back and that is my favorite part because it reminds me he is still little. When he got tired trick or treating he wanted to walk slower by me and hold my hand. June... she caught on to the go to someones door, hold out your bucket and get a candy bit real quick! She could have out lasted her older brother and sister, she sometimes even walked into peoples homes to help her self to their candy bowl!

I had alot of fun this year making all their costums. Shelby was a "vampire fairy".



River was a cowboy, not just any he said he only wanted to be a "bad guy cowboy!" The black rope was a special request by him because he said bad cowboys need rope to tie people up... what has he been watching? Thanks dad for running out last minute to get the black rope.


June, my true "red headed devil!" I saw these clip on devil horns and just loved the idea of her being a devil. She is truely a girl because she loves wearing tutus and any other full girly skirts so this costum was alot of fun for me.
