October has come to an end....

Tonight we headed to Hallelujiah Harvest, which is our church's alternative to Halloween. I never grew up celebrating Halloween and have implemented this with our children. I'm thankful that our church has something fun to do, so the boys don't have to feel like they are missing out on fun and of course candy.

First, let me flashback to 2007. This is when I had Drew wear this chick/duck costume. I thought it was so cute! After getting a little bit of teasing from one of our dearest friends, whose name I won't mention (Brett), I decided I wouldn't make another child of mine wear this costume. I think Brett, I mean our friend, just thought it was a little girlie. The problem was we had a birthday party this morning that Drew was dressing up for. I didn't want Knox to feel left out so I dug this out of Drew's closet before we left, put it on Knox, and.....well, you can see for yourself. Adorable, right?? The worst part was, I didn't know our friend would be at the party and when he saw me from across the room, he just shook his head. I'm going to hold on to this costume for the future (just in case).

This isn't this cowboys first ride. He's loving it!

Cowboy Drew

Knox got boots!

Since Drew was going to be a cowboy at Hallelujiah Harvest we needed cowboy boots. I never did find some (reasonably priced) for Drew, BUT we did find some for Knox. I'm not sure how practical they are, since I tend to have the boys dress a little preppier, but they were so cute, and he really liked them, so we bought them. Here he is trying them on for the first time at home. He does wear clothes (sometimes) :)

It's been a while....

For anyone who ever checks my blog, I am sorry that the last few months I have been MIA. I promise to attempt to do a better job of keeping up with this. Since it has been so long it's hard to know exactly where to begin catching everyone up, but since this is the last day of October, I thought I might start with some "October" themed pictures. So we'll begin with our annual pumpkin patch visit.

Knox was enjoying throwing the pumpkins. I ended that pretty quickly though, because I didn't want to have to buy all of the pumpkins.

So instead we began passing them to Drew.

Here's a group picture of all our friends. If you can't see how happy Knox is, look at the close-up that follows this picture. Am I a bad mom for making him pose when he's crying?

Here I am with the boys. Drew has been practicing his smile, and apparently Knox has been practicing his lean.

We hope you had a good October. We have enjoyed a few beautiful days, but it's too hot for the most part. We're still waiting to fall to get to Tallahassee.
