A Sneak Peek!

We are still out having fun, but will be back home soon. Here is a picture to tide the grandparents over until we return to France!

Lunch Time

All day today we had our Halloween meals. Since we will be at Legoland for Halloween I decided to celebrate Halloween before we left. I made a special breakfast and lunch for the kiddos today. For lunch we had grilled cheese pumpkins, macaroni and peas, applesauce, and I made each kiddo a cookie with their name on it. They just love doing things like this and the expressions on their face make all the effort worth it. Both boys tonight during their prayers thanked God for all the special things that Mommy had made today. That just makes me want to do so much more especially while they are little and love it.

Boo Breakfast!

For breakfast I made ghost pancakes, boo milk, and a ghost banana pop! The kids loved all the spooky things to eat.

All 3 ready to eat their "Boo" breakfast. I put up this picture because Adalee has on her new Ariel dress up outfit my mom sent. We opened the box before breakfast and she didn't take the dress off all day!

Ready for their yummy treats after all that pumpkin carving. We had caramel apples, cookies and hot apple cider!

Pizza and Pumpkin Carving Night

Instead of pizza and movie night, we had Halloween Pizza and Pumpkin Carving Night. The kids watched Monsters Inc. earlier in the day, so after dinner we carved our pumpkin, had yummy treats and then read some Halloween stories. Such a fun night!

Handsome fellow!

Adalee was so exhausted from the cookie making that she fell asleep cuddled up next to Adam. She loves him so much and he is so patient with her.

Time to Make the Cookies

Yesterday the children had off from school. So since we are going to be gone for Halloween, we decided to celebrate it this weekend before we left. First we went out on the porch and made pumpkins out of stickers. Then we decorated Halloween cookies. The kids had a blast!
