Trick - or - Treat

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

We had a blast trick-or-treating this year. They really "got it" this year, and were super excited. They are at the perfect age. Easy to get in and out of the car, and big enough to actually walk down our street to trick-or-treat. They got tons of candy....so much that it just might last until next Halloween. Anyway, here's some pictures of our big night.

Little miss precious ladybug!

I love this picture of miss thang from the back. I think her little antennae poking up are too cute!

And little Will has run around screaming argh! since we got his costume weeks ago.

I couldn't get Jacker to stand still for more than 2 seconds so I could snap a picture of him...hence the blurriness of this shot. :)

Warning: Picture Overload!

Wow, have things been busy around the Thomas house!!! We are all starting to adjust to starting school again, but we're not quite into the groove yet! If I could keep everyone well things would be much less stressful around here. Someone has been sick pretty much since school started! We did manage to sneak away for a little r&r over the long weekend. Here's our weekend in pictures.

Thanks Pootie and Icky Pop for letting us come and stay with you for the weekend. We had a great time and the kids are still talking about it!

Caroline is a Kindergartner!

Well, my girlie started Kindergarten today!!!!! Again, too tired to go into too much detail....but....
she was pretty apprehensive at first (didn't cry though thanks to Pootie's bribing), and ended up LOVING everything about her first day! She can't wait to go back tomorrow. YAY!

A day of firsts!

Today was the boy's first day of pre-k. I'm sure you can tell by the pictures how it went. I'm exhausted, and too tired to give all the details. Oh, and I just found out today at lunch that on Wednesday (the day I was expecting my classroom to be full of 20 kindergartners--ya know, a day and a half away) my room will be actually full of 1st graders.....which is why I'm too tired to blog. So much to do, so little time!!!!

New addition!

This sweet little babe is the newest addition to our family. Konnor was born this morning 7lbs 4oz), and is just as precious as his big brother! My kids can't wait to get their hands on their new little cousin!

Sleeping peacefully....while he can...Karsen sure was "loving" on him at the hospital. Poor baby doesn't know what he's in for! ;)

Proud papa with his boys!

Are you kidding me?

This is how daddy dresses us when mommy's not home to pick out our clothes!!!

When I got home this afternoon, this is what my children looked like. Their daddy is responsible for this creative little ensemble. The looks on their dirty faces with unkept hair says it all! I thought it was actually kinda funny when I thought that they had only been to grammie and pa's house for a visit. Then he tells me that they went to Sam's to pick up a few things....he assured me that they looked much better and more "put together" sitting in a shopping cart. Are you serious? I asked him if he would EVER wear one of those outfits himself. He only giggled and said that after he got them dressed, he knew it was wrong, but didn't have any better ideas!

I'll be sure to leave clothes out next time I'm gonna be gone for a while!!!!!

All Boy!

This....

and this....
led to all this fun!

My dear little Jack has become OBSESSED with tools of all sorts. He started asking his daddy for screwdrivers and such, and Tim would give them to him, just thinking he was pretending. Well, that's what we get for thinking! This little guy meticulously unscrewed many many screws from his train table, and just couldn't get enough! He tried to unscrew the bolts from his bunk bed! So....

We made a deal with him...no more real tools in exchange for some cool new toy tools. Needless to say, they're a hit with everyone!
