Max is riding his big boy bike

We decided to go on a bike ride on Halloween, and we tried out Max's new bike. We have had it for a while but he had to prove that he was potty trained before he could ride it. He got better as we rode but he needed help with the whole pedaling thing, if was pedaling he was not steering needless to say that mile took a really long time. I am super proud of Emily she was very patient while Max learn how to ride. Even if it was super frustrating when he was finally going that he would hit the break then be made cause he stopped.

Carving Pumpkins

We are not as good at the Wests or Cruz's but we try. We carved our pumpkins on Halloween this year they turned out pretty good though.

2 trunk or treats and a trick or treat

Halloween was super busy for us. First we attended our church trunk or treat which was a blast. They did the trunk or treat first, then we went inside for carnival games and such. Holly and Makiah *sp came with us. They handed out candy while we walked around.  As you can tell my beauties are a princess and bat man. We had a lot of fun, we spent most of our time at the cake walk trying to win some cupcakes.

That next night was my schools trunk or treat, it was fun to have them with me at school. Minus the mishap with the bathroom cause the doors were locked all went really well. They had fun and they got to meet some kids from my class.

they are ready!

RVES has some awesome parents that go all out

That next night was trick or treating they had a blast Jason took them to the court house they were handing out king size candy bars I think Mom has appreciated it more then them. I love watching how much they like Halloween this year compared to previous years they are finally getting the hang of things. Max still thinks that Batman flies.

Enjoying the weather

I am loving life with my kids especially with this super nice warm weather we have been experiencing. We try to go to the park at least once during the week after school, some weeks are better then others. I love watching them play. Holly even convinced me to go down the slide I was all good until the end the slide got skinnier. Max and Emily loved me going down it though.

Leaves are off the tree in full swing now too, we have to keep raking so hopefully it does not take over our yard. However, Max and Emily would rather just play. They were making road leaves this day. I love their creativitiy

Fall Festival at Kindercare

After school one day, Kindercare had a Fall festival where they got to play some games. It was fun to watch Max and Emily play games.

Max is 3

Max is 3. My little Maximus is not so little anymore. I think it is crazy how much he has grown up. For his birthday he requested to have green cupcakes, and he asked for cars. We invited some family over Jason set everything up because I did not feel very well, and it went well.

Emily picked out a backpack for him
