Our Days at Home/Halloween

Well our little peanut was 3 weeks old yesterday. We are sure enjoying her! I don't think I could ever have imagined how much Mady and Noah would enjoy her. They just love the heck out of her. They are always kissing her and asking to hold her. It's very sweet. I feel like she is a lot of fun for everyone. There is something so special about having a new little spirit in your home. It's been 4 years and for some reason it was easily forgotten... but it's so amazing to have her here. I've wanted her for close to 2 years now, and for various reasons the timing wasn't right. But I'm so grateful for how quickly she joined our family once we made the decision to have a baby. She is such a sweet little thing and we are all loving her like crazy! She's starting to hold her head up and is giving us some sweet (probably un-intentional) smiles. :) But we're loving it.

Our awesome Dr whose delivered all 3 of our kiddos!
Our favorite kind of days!
It was a little different Halloween with a baby! We got a crazy snow storm a few days before, but luckily by Halloween it was all gone and like 60 degrees. It was beautiful. So we went to the Boo at the Zoo on Monday night. That is probably our favorite Halloween activity. We went with our friend Heidi and her 2 little kids Kaleigh and Bronx. The kids had a ton of fun and then we finished the night off with some Taco Bell. :)
On Tuesday Mady had 'crazy hair day' at school! She thought that was super fun!
Tuesday night we carved our pumpkins. Usually we do one for everyone in the house. But frankly, me and Adam didn't feel like carving 5 this year! LOL. so we got one for each of the kids and did super easy things! ha ha. It was lots of fun and they turned out cute.
It was a rough night on her while we carved pumpkins! lol.
On Wednesday, Halloween, both kids had school and had Halloween parties at school. The loved it! I remember those days being so exciting at school, and they had tons of fun. When they got home from school we baked and decorated cupcakes.
Heidi, Kev and their kiddos came over at 6:00 and we all went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. We seriously have the best neighborhood for that. We probably get close to 150-200 trick-or-treaters, so it is just as fun to go as it is to hand out candy. Our kids love it. By the time we went to 10 houses Mady was ready to go home and hand out candy! LOL. But we went a little more. :) Afterwards we all came to our house and had pizza and handed out candy. It was a good night. :)
