Unexpected November Weather

We took advantage of the great weather yesterday. We played outside for hours. We tried to go for a walk, but Jakob got bored. He kept trying to crawl out of the stroller. Rick had to work so it was an adventure by myself. We decide to go back to the house and play. After playing in the jeep and other toys for hours we headed to the sand box. Ethan ended up in the sand box head first - quite a site. He had sand from head to toe, even up his nose.

To help clean off the sand they boys took a nice warm bath. Jakob and Ethan always have fun in the tub.





Not much planned for this week. Hoping to clean and catch up on sleep. Sounds exciting doesn't it.
Have a wonderful week.
Love,
Rick, Mandi, Jakob & Ethan

Halloween ~ Our Style

So our Halloween wasn't like most others.
After having Jakob's costume on Friday and determining he really doesn't like it, Rick doesn't like Choas, I hate the cold and Ethan had a cold we determined to not go trick or treating.
We started our Halloween out at Target, had to pick a few gifts and a few things for Ethan. We then went to Meijer to get a few groceries. After that we wanted to go home, but with the dog trying to escape and Jakob trying to escape we really didn't want to hand out candy. So we picked up food from Johnny Carino's. We pulled in the garage and quick closed the garage door behind us. We ran in the house keeping the lights out we grabbed our things and ran up the stairs. We laid a sheet out on the floor in our bedroom and put in a movie. We had a picnic up on the floor in our bedroom. It was very messy with the boys but was kind of fun. It is crazy how many people still ring the door bell with all the lights out.
Sorry no pictures of the picnic didn't want to get caught running downstairs to get the camera.

Resting up today, so we all feel great to start the week.
Hugs, Rick, Mandi, Jakob & Ethan
