First Halloween!

All dressed up for Boo at the Zoo!

Family of sharks!! Ax kept the hood on for a whole 5 seconds so we could take a picture!!

Monkeys!

Checking out the lions... He wasn't scared at all!

Can you see his skeleton jammies underneath his shark?! Mommy and daddy were prepared, we had a backup costume! 

This little shark loves his cousin Payton! She was an adorable little Indian. Poor Elli was home sick, but Ax got plenty of candy trick-or-treating to send home to her! 

Trick or treat! What a great day :) 

Carving pumpkins!

We all started out nice and clean!

Maddax called the pumpkins 'ball-balls', like everything else he sees that is round!

Time to get messy!

Pumpkin guts aren't as tasty as they look...

Good helper! 

We had a ton of help from Theo too!

A messy success!! Mama forgot to take 'after' pics of the pumpkins... But they were really cute! 

Halloween jammies

Love these new skeleton jammies! Thanks, Gracie and Carter!! The best part is they glow in the dark- pretty hilarious to watch Ax on the monitor when we put him to bed, he couldn't quite figure out why his arms were glowing ;)

Play day with the girls!

Happy birthday Payton!! Ax and I got lucky, we got to spend the whole day with the girls! While he napped, we made birthday cupcakes... A whole bunch of them! 

A few of our masterpieces...

We headed to Wahooz for lunch and games! This growing baby ate an entire grilled cheese sandwich (minus the crust) and half a hamburger patty! He thought it was pretty awesome to eat with the girls :)

These games are fascinating!!

We had so much fun! This baby was toast when we left! Poor daddy had to stay home sick, but these sweet girls brought him prizes to help him feel better :) 

Swinging!

A little evening stroll to a nearby park. Ax got to swing, Theo got to run... Everyone was happy :) 

Pumpkin patch

Checking out the petting zoo at Linder farms. There were no cows, but Maddax moo'ed at every animal!! 

He has no fear... Lucky the animals didn't want to bite his little fingers! 

We hopped on a hayride to go find our pumpkins! 

Getting down and dirty, finding the perfect pumpkin! 

Uncle Tom's 100lb pumpkin! 

Payton found her perfect one :)

Ax found some pretty great sticks and leaves to taste. His favorite part of the day was watching the wheels on the tractors!!
