Halloween and Bunking the boys

Another Halloween has come and gone and boy did the kids have a good time. Keaton started his Halloween fun on Thursday with his class party which I was lucky to be the room mom so I was in on all the action and one tired cookie at the end of the day!!! Keaton was a bat this year and one fine bat he was. I will get some class pics up as soon as I get them on the computer. All and all Keaton's Halloween started off on a great foot.

Halloween day was fun too as I took the kids to daddy's work potluck which had lots of fun food and cool decorations. We enjoyed some yummy lunch and treats and headed home to have some down time before all the cousins came over to go trick or treating with us. We ate some pizza and then headed out. Mommy had to hand out candy this year as I was told to take it easy so daddy was in charge of taking the little men out this year. We were slammed with trick or treaters and they cleaned me out of candy within 45min or less. It was fun to see all the cuties in their costumes. The boys came back with a load of candy and Keaton of course dug right in. Ben and I had to hide the rest of the candy as he was going to make himself sick. Both boys were in need of some down time so we curled up on the couch and had some popcorn (Ryan's favorite snack) and watched Peter Pan for 20min. to wind down and then they both hit the bed hard and slept till 8am, yeah for Ben and I.

Sat. morning we set out on putting the boys bunk beds together with took about 4hrs. Ben did a great job and they are beautiful and the boys love them. Keaton is on the top twin bunk and Ryan in on the bottom full sized bunk. I was nervous how this all was going to work but they have done great. Keaton just loves sleeping up top and Ryan once you get him settled stays in bed and knocks out till morning. I've only had a little visitor in my room in the middle of the night one time this week. I took him back to bed and that was that. In the morning it's fun to listen to them chatting to one another. They are sure growing up fast. It's strange to walk by Ryan's old room now and him not being in there sleeping. I am in the process of moving his things to his new room which is just strange to be honest. It's making it more real that there is another little one on the way and he/she will be here before we know it. Ryan has been my baby but now when I look at him he's just not really a baby anymore. He is talking and hanging with the big boys. Not to mention that he is almost potty trained!! Yippee. I will get my chance at little baby once more ad I know I will have to cherish each moment as time sure does fly by and they grow up way to fast.

Overall our house is filled with nonstop fun and energy and as I may be exhausted at the end of the day and some days about ready to check out but overall I am the luckiest person on the face of the earth to be blessed with so much.
