Our Halloween Weekend......

We had lots of fun. We started our Halloween weekend Friday night carving pumpkins and watching Race to Witch Mountain. It was fun. Jarrett and McGregor hated to dig the guts out of their pumpkins. It was quite entertaining to watch them. Then on Halloween we woke up and had to go to Jarrett's first wrestling meet. He did really good for his first time. He held his own pretty well. I can tell you as a mom I would rather watch him play football. Those kids get pretty rough when they wrestle. After all the running around we had to race home and get everyone ready including me and Ben. Jarrett dressed up as a girl and I have to say he makes a very pretty girl. Nobody knew it was him at first. He loved tricking everyone. Isabelle wanted to be a Three Musketeer off of the new Barbie movie and of course I couldn't find a costume so I ended up making hers this year. Quite the experience. Gregor wanted to be a bat, but last minute he found a spider costume he wanted. He was a dang cute spider to. As for Fletcher he was just him. We had a Halloween shirt and bib he wore. Ben and I were hard core bikers, tattoos and all. The kids went trick-or-treating with the Ramsdells for awhile and then we headed to Mantua to my mom's first annual Halloween party. It was lots of fun to see my whole family dressed up. We ate dinner, played games, and just enjoyed being together. Then on the way home we ran out of gas. Ben being the strong man he is pushed the truck we were in all the way to the gas station by himself while I steered.
Sunday our little Fletcher turned 2 months old. Ben and I were talking this weekend about how thankful we are for him. He was our surprise. If it would have been up to me and Ben I don't think we would have had anymore after Mac, but how thankful we are for a Father in Heaven who knows better than we do. I can't imagine life without little Fletcher, he is such a blessing. He is such a good baby. He smiles all the time and is always telling me stories. Life is crazy with 4 kids, but we wouldn't have it any other way.
