My boys have been wearing their Halloween costumes for what seems like 72 hours (is that three days? – forgive me, I’m the mother of an infant and well… uh… not so good at math).
The B Man had a little program at school on Friday morning in which he recited two nursery rhymes and they could dress as one of the characters. Well of course he chose one of them to be Hickory Dickory Dock and WHY? Because there’s a mouse in that rhyme and that way he could dress up as a mouse, of course! If you’ve been reading here a while or you are an IRL friend or a family member then you know about his varmint obsession.
And even though I bought Little G a cute second-hand puppy costume he would have NOTHING to do with it. Instead he wore the same Superman p.j.s that The B Man wore at this age and once he saw them on Thursday night he was hooked. So, he went to the B Man’s program as S.M. and the other Kindergarten kids thought he was awesome (and he was. and the p.j.s had to be washed just to wear on actual Halloween).
And yes, I am a bad mother because I did not get a picture of my oldest child’s first K program since I left the camera on the dining table. But, I kept the toddler mostly quiet and the infant snug in a sling while all the other kids did their thing too. And, honestly, he’s really lucky I showed up. (but don’t tell him that, alrighty?). He did a great job. He was actually one of the only kids I could hear and he looked right at me the whole time he said his poems. So cute!
On Friday night we carved pumpkins (and by ‘we’ I mean Tim did the work while the boys and Baby K and I basically watched.)
Oh but actually this is what Superman did during most of the carving session:
(he’s gonna hate me for that one someday, isn’t he??)
And here are the finished products.
On Saturday, after attending one of the local elementary school’s Fall carnival in the morning, and Little G just playing in his room the ENTIRE time he was supposed to be napping, and a quick “gourmet” dinner at Cici’s (SNORT!) it was time to go Trick or Treating.
Aren’t they just the cutest things?
Can y’all tell how excited Baby K is?? Poor child…
The boys had a blast trick or treating (this was our first year to go door-to-door) and after procuring the candy at each house Little G would say “I got CANDY!” I loved his excitement and awe. 
Of course then he wanted to eat it all once we got home. But I can’t really blame him because so did I.
Actually, it wasn’t all “candy and carnivals” on Saturday as the toddler finally went to bed after a totally EPIC tantrum (no nap and LOTS of excitement and sugar will do that to a 2 1/2 year old…). He’s a little “challenging” these days but I suppose that’s to be expected since his world has been rocked and he’s not technically the ‘baby’ anymore.
Speaking of the baby, our Baby K was officially a month old yesterday and she and I went to church together for the first time. It’s a little hard to believe that it’s already been a month but I think the bags under my eyes tell the tale. But as I’m sure you all know, I wouldn’t have it any other way, bags and all…
Hope everyone had a safe and candy-filled Halloween!
I love your Halloween pictures! Tim did a great job carving the pumpkins, and your kids are just precious in their costumes. Blessings to your beautiful family!
Love the pumpkins!!! 🙂 Great job Tim!
And I absolutely love the picking of the nose picture! Matty is doing that a lot lately, too. Must be the age? haha. But yes- that one is to show the girls, someday!! haha
Congrats on making it back to church!! That always seems like a milestone, doesn’t it?! haha
Great pictures, they are all so cute !
Such cute kiddos!!!! Wow. So cute. 🙂
LOVE that last picture. Absolutely precious!!!
Aww I love that last one so cute!
and your superman super ADORABLE!
Love the pumpkins. We just painted ours, and since it has rained more days than not lately, a lot of the paint washed off before Halloween. Oh well.
Way to go, making it to the program. 🙂
Such cute boys and such a pretty girl.
Very cute. I love the little one picking at his nose! I have a two year old that does this too.
They are ADORABLE!! Hope you had a great Halloween! The B man may have yet another chance to wear his mouse costume to school…last year for the Character Book Parade at the end of the year, my daughter’s class did “If you take a Mouse to the Movies” and they dressed as mice…too cute!! 🙂
Have I been away so long I didn’t realize you had a new blog layout?! LOVE IT!!! Clearly I need to venture out past the reader from time to time eh?
Happy Halloween friend! Love that your big guy had to be a mouse again! And your little super man was cute too!
And baby K is just adorable! ADORABLE!! Congrats on surviving the first month, it only gets easier from here!!!
Those pumpkins look great! Glad you guys had a good time trick-or-treating!
The nose picking photo is senior yearbook ad photo material for sure!
Oh that second picture! HA! Just keeping it real, is all, just keeping it real.
🙂
I love all the pictures, especially the little nose picker! Seriously Elaine, your children are beyond beautiful!! And you look FANTASTIC – the last photo of you and your little girl makes me kind of want another baby, like right now. You are a gorgeous momma of 3!! Thanks for sharing with us.

I love your baby pictures. She is beautiful. Congrats. Doylene
Fantastic photos! Your guys were adorable and you look pretty fantastic for mom of a one month old. Hope you are getting a little rest. Love the last one, you guys are so sweet.
Sorry, I had to run after Dakota, she was leaving the room. I wanted to tell you how great the Halloween pictures are. You are making wonderful memories for your children. Doylene
those pumpkins are awesome and you are your supermen!
Love the photo of you and your little girl. It sure is something to have that little girl.
They are all adorable. That last pic is priceless. Could you not die of pink overload? Gah. LOVE that baby face! <3
All your little pumpkins are awesome! 🙂

G-man looks so cute picking his nose in his SM costume- awesome!
I’m emailing you a picture of me from last year, holding my then 5 week old Little Anthony……
Happy One Month, Miss K!!! Wow, time flies.
The mouse is cute (if expected!) and the jack-o-lantern’s teeth are spooky-cool…but the pic of G Man digging for gold wins my prize! hehehe!
you seem to have settled into motherhood x3 so smoothly.
Youre a good woman for getting the nose picking picture. It will come in handy when he is older!
Happy birthday to your Princess! About time to try for a fourth yet????
The boys are so cute! And the photo of you with baby couldn’t be more precious.
Just as we were about to load up to go see Jeff’s grandma on Halloween, Troy fell asleep and I let him nap.
Because, well, you know what happens when toddlers miss their naps!
Well done, momma! They looked adorable!
Awesome shot of the boys pumpkin carving – hehe…they are just so adorable 🙂 Glad to see you all had a nice Halloween — oh and the photo of you with your daughter — perfection.
She just gets cuter every day! And that nose picking shot….classic.
I love the Halloween photos. I can’t believe she’s a month old already!
