happy halloween!!

Thomas the Tank and Darth (or Dark as Andrew says) Vader!!

Family pic before going out to get the goods!!

This is BIG PUMPKIN as Blake calls him. This was Blake's favorite blow-up. We had to drive by it all the time to see if it was up. Blake was SO excited to get his picture made with BIG PUMPKIN!!!

Andrew's favorite was mean ghost. This was another blow-up we had to drive by and look at. I'm glad we have a month before Christmas blow-ups are up!! The boys had a blast trick-or-treating and the weather was perfect! It's crazy to think next year we'll be taking 3 kiddos trick-or-treating!!

u-g-l-y

I must say that the ugly pumpkins aren't so bad at night...it's just during the day!

pumpkin patch

Yesterday afternoon we took the boys to the pumpkin patch at Andrew's school. In the past we've always gone with friends, but we've had a lot of rain lately and being prego, I'm not up for much.

Cute picture of Daddy and his boys!

An attempt at a family pic.

Matt was teaching Andrew how to pick the best pumpkin. Andrew was trying to teach Blake, but Blake could have cared less.

Blake was in deep thought and wouldn't pose for the camera. Andrew was all over trying to find the perfect pumpkin and wouldn't pose either!
He did end up picking the perfect pumpkin. Daddy will carve it for us on Thursday...can't do it too early here because it will turn to mush in two days.

jumpin, playin, helpin, and boys!

Here's what we've been up to lately...

We met some friends at Pump It Up. The boys LOVE this place and ask daily to go. I just sit my prego self on the bench while Matt keeps up with the boys. I think he enjoys it as much as they do. :)

We went to the neighborhood park with some friends. We will definitely be doing this more. The boys could do everything on their own and I could sit my prego self on the bench!
Hanging out in the tunnel. The boys helped Daddy put new tires on his truck.
Not really sure what exactly Blake was doing that he got dirt all over his face.

Matt took the boys to Wal-Mart one day and they HAD to get these pumpkins. I could not believe Matt let them get these UGLY pumpkins, but I guess they really wanted them. I had to suck it up and let them put them out front. The things we do for our kids!

Andrew asked me to take his picture with his pumpkin. Why...because that's Andrew!

I've got about 3 weeks left and I'm VERY ready! I'm such a slacker these days as I have NO energy!! Matt has definitely been picking up my slack. He's awesome!

Other than that, not much new!

33 weeks

I'm only 33 weeks and I'm SO ready! Probably not ready for the sleepless nights, but ready to just feel comfortable again!I went to the doctor today and am measuring 33 weeks. I'll probably be induced the week before. It's easier for me to be induced with Matt's schedule. Anyway, she did an ultra sound and Claire still looks like a girl. :) Yes, I've had my doubts because you just never know. And you can tell she has hair!! Hopefully just enough to hold a bow!!

The boys are getting excited about meeting their sister. Andrew has all sorts of questions. Today he asked what Claire was wearing. He did not like hearing she didn't have clothes on. It will be interesting to see how they act once she gets here!
