Caching our Breath.......and Catching Up

OUR NEW MANTEL AND FAUX FIREPLACE

GETTING IN TO THOSE PUMPKINS

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY MY SWEET BOY

TRICK OR TREAT WITH MARIO & LUIGI

SWEET EXHAUSTION

So, it's been a while but LOTS going on. Earlier in the week Mike put up my mantel that I painted and put up the faux fireplace we ordered. I LOVE it. In the first picture, this is what I found the kids doing while I was washing dishes. I had to snap a picture. They love it to. A great place to read and play games.

This week Noah turned 5! I simply cannot believe my little boy is 5 years old. No longer a toddler. :( I miss those days but I love the little boy he is becoming, smart and sweet. We had a small birthday party for him and in his words "Mommy, that was the bestest party ever". He gots TONS of toys and of course, in true Noah fashion is already planning his next birthday.

We also got a visit from his Grandat & Dusie from SC. The babies love spending time with them.

We carved a few pumpkins and got ready for Halloween albeit a day early. We went to a little Trunk or Treat event and let the kids go to the Grandparents & Aunt Rach's house. Laurel had to have surgery today (Halloween) to put ear tubes in (AGAIN) and have her umbilical hernia repaired so we missed real trick or treat day. Laurel did much better than I would have done having my stomach cut on. She should be good as new in a few days.

So, that's how our week went. Fun but as you can see in the last photo- Exhausting! :)
