Happy Halloween!

We had such a great night tonight! We were worried that we were going to get rained out, but the weather ended up clearing up just before it got dark. The night was perfect and the weather was cool, which resulted in "NO" complaints from the children that their costumes were too hot! Which is always a concern in South Florida! You should of seen our train of 14 children going house to house. They were all so adorable! When we got home they all immediately sat down and dumped out their bags to see what kind of treats they got. With all the kids candy laid out you could barely see the floor. It was hilarious and probably the only time that you could have 14 children unattended without a sound coming out of the room. All of us adults actually got to sit around and have adult conversation without getting interuppted every 2 minutes! We all had so much fun. Can't wait to do it again next year! I hope everyone else had a happy and safe halloween as well. Hope you all have a great rest of the weekend!

Pumpkin Patch...

We were a little late getting to the pumpkin patch this year, but somehow we fit it in yesterday! We spent the weekend in Port Charlotte visiting Tommy's family and when we got back into town the pumpkin patch we always go to was already out of pumpkins. So, we headed over to the farmer's market where they thankfully had a few pumpkins left. Picking our pumpkin was much easier this year since they didn't have very many to choose from. The boys didn't seem to mind and left very happy with the pumpkin they picked!

A brief look....

into the future is what I got today! As I sat outside and listened to the boys conversation and watched them play I could only envision them 12 years from now in high school. Their conversation consisted of sports, school, and their "new girlfriends". It went like this:

Tyler: Julian I have a new girlfriend...her name is Erin!

Julian: I have a girlfriend too.

Tyler: My girlfriend smiled at me four times today or maybe it was five.

Julian: Umm, my girlfriend is in my class she doesn't know I like her.

Dylan: I have a girlfriend

Tyler: I know Dylan remember I said you can like Kylie.

Dylan: My girlfriend is ten...no five.

Tyler: Well, we can't have girlfriends now only when we are like 16.

Julian: I am going to do karate.

Tyler: I am going to play basketball and baseball.

Dylan: I play baseball.

Tyler: Julian my girlfriend and I both have the same amount of punches so we get to pick out of the treasure box tomorrow at the same time...isn't that cool!

Julian: Yeah, when I grow up I want to be a daddy!

Tyler: Julian you want to shoot hoops?

Julian: Sure!

I tried to video it but the wind was blowing to hard so you couldn't hear the conversation. It was so funny and all I could think was I don't know if I will ever be ready for this! I have a feeling Tommy and I are going to have our hands full with these boys!
