Costume Time!

Max is a skunk this year! I have to say I was not really excited about it until I got him in it and I LOVE IT. From behind it cracks me up. Last Saturday we had 2 get togethers planned. A friend of mine hosts a get together at her in-laws who have this amzing yard and they grow pumpkins and make it really fun for the kids. The kids get to pick pumpkins and ride on the tractor. Its a blast. Later that night my parents hosted a party for a lot of the kids they know and they had games and yummy food for all to enjoy. Fun filled day with friends and family and cute costumes.

So cute!The kids on the tractor ride, not all happy though!
This picture cracks me up!

Croup!

I think Max has THE CROUP? Yah, Anne of Green Gables came flashing back to me where Anne saved her friends, sisters life...whewww....is it that bad? I don't think so and he is totally acting like himself so that is a relief. Has anyone else's kids had "The Croup"? It gets really bad at night and I'm so glad I don't freak out too much because it sounded like he could barely breathe last night. Loren brought him in to our bed for a while and he struggled a little but kept sleeping. Oh I hate seeing him sick, not fun at all. If anyone else has dealt with this I have a few questions? How did you treat it and how long did it last? Sounds like cold weather is good for them...yah I have that, check! Well yesterday it was warm, not sure if it still is today? The internet said it will only last a couple days and it gets worse at night. I hope that is all true.

This last weekend we had a busy one! I had a couple Southern Living parties and we had two halloween parties on Saturday! I love Max's costume! I got it at Children's Place and I love their costumes...I got Max's their last year too. I will post some pictures later!

Until later....see ya!

We love the BEACH!!!

Hope you love to see picture of Max because thats what these are.I'm so late on posting pictures but I love to share pictures. We had a great time in September when Max and I went to visit Nonnie...my mom for a few days...she lives in Portland, OR. We did a lot of fun things while we were there but the highlight was driving out to Cannon Beach for the day. Washington has a great coast, but Oregon takes the lead as far as beauty goes. Max has only been to the coast a couple of times and so it was fun to watch him explore everything that the beach has to offer. It wasn't super nice out, but hey its the Northwest...we take what we get and we make it work.

The BEAUTY that the open ocean has!
