Halloween 2018

As we have for so many years now we went over to Rob and Jelene's house for their annual Halloween party.  We show up early and leave early and with enough threatening in the car - the kids left on their gloves (getting four small sets of hands into gloves is no joke).

Poor Taylor was so scared of Tadd in his Captain Hook costume that we had to snap a few pictures and let him take off the wig, hat and mustache.

Marmee's Visit

I am so thankful for Marmee for so many reasons but one on the list definitely has to be her strive to photograph life.

Here's the picture drop that I literally just stole from her Facebook page so I could have a copy of them. :-D


The first night she got here we had volleyball and it was actually nice enough for the kids and her to join us.

We have been playing Qwirkle lately and having fun trying out new strategies.

We went bowling at Bass Pro shops which is this completely awesome underwater themed one.

Marmee brought Legos - which were a HUGE hit with Jackson.

I saved putting out the fall and Halloween decorations for when Marmee was here - it's magical for me to watch how excited the kids get putting everything up so I hope she felt the same way.

By the looks on the Bigs faces...maybe they were watching The History of Timeout?  Ha ha ha!

We got to go watch Smallfoot in the theaters - it was such a cute movie.

Joe and I got all dressed up and ventured south to a wedding - nice excuse to have a date night.
