Halloween

We had our ward trunk or treat tonight. The boys were SO excited to get dressed up, except for poor Brenan, he hated his costume. I thought my boys would think it was cool if I dressed up. I came out of the bathroom with a green face, black hair, and a witch nose, and they didn't even react! Brenan looked at me a little funny and tried to grab my nose, but that was about it!

Dear Santa

Devan had a bike rodeo Wednesday. He had such a great time, and did really good. When I came to pick him up later that day he said his head hurt and he didn't want to ride his bike home (not like him at all!) I ended up walking him home in the stroller and leaving his bike at school. Turns out he caught the flu bug that's been going around our home :( The next day when I went to pick up his bike, it wasn't there. I figured someone stole it and gently broke the news to Devan. His reply, "Santa's not going to be happy someone kidnapped my bike, he's going to give them something really stinky for Christmas. Can we write Santa a note for a new bike?" He wrote the cutest little letter. That evening when I checked my email I got a message from his teacher saying his bike was in the gym safe and sound :)

It's clear

I think it's clear...

that these handsome lil' buggers...
get their good looks from their dad :)

Update

Brenan had his 9 month appointment and is doing great. Tristan and I have the flu and are doing not so great, and Chad's feeling miserable too(but has been super helpful in spite of it) ! And a couple weeks ago I had parent teacher conference, and things have gotten a bit better with that (even though some things still drive me crazy, haha).
