Spiderman Goes to Preschool

This morning was an exciting day for Thade, he was finally getting to go to the Halloween party at Preschool. He has been looking forward to the party for well over a month, Dylan was pretty surprised to see Thade all dressed up to go to Preschool today.

The party looks like it is going to be fun, filled with Halloween games, and of course way too much candy! I can’t wait to hear all about it when Thade gets home from school.

Happy Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween everyone! Do you have big plans for this Halloween? Are you taking your kids Trick-or-Treating this evening?

Thade is busy at his Halloween party at school, so Dylan and I are catching up around the house. I’m making a big Crock Pot full of Chili for dinner this evening, and taking the kids all around town to Trick-or-Treat.

I hope that everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!

Stumbling Baked Goods

Do you use Stumble Upon? I love it, and every once in awhile I will stumble onto a new recipe that I have to try. I was in the mood to get in the kitchen and bake something tasty, so I hit my Stumble button, and I decided that I would make the next recipe that I saw, and there it was Giant Breakfast Cookies! Perfect, I am always looking for a quick and easy breakfast that the kids and I will love.

This recipe is so easy to make, and the cookies are really delicious. I made mine with Chocolate Chips and Dried Cherries, so good. Give this one a try, these cookies are delicious any time of the day.

Halloween Park Party

I think we are definitely getting the use out of the Halloween Costumes this year… Yesterday Shaunna and I met at the park to go to a Halloween Park Party. It was a little chilly, but our kids had a blast.

Shaunna wanted to get a picture of all of the boys together, so we tried our best to snap as many pictures as we could, as quickly as we could.

With three busy boys running around, that task was a little tricky.

Since it was a little late, and I was feeling a lot of lazy, I decided to run through the drive thru and pick up Taco Bell for Dinner. The boys were thrilled, they love Nachos. I wasn’t too thrilled though, I had to clean up messy Dylan after dinner.
