I survived!

M was away on business for a full 7 days, 6 nights and got home last night *WOO-HOO* Luckily my Dad came over for an hour in the evening to help with bath/book/bed time and the kids stayed healthy. All I can say is I don't have any idea how single parents or parents who have a spouse that travels a lot do it. It's TOUGH!  A few quick shots from our week:

It was COLD here, like setting records at -14 cold. So we had to come up with a lot of indoor activities.

Here's my Dad watching a movie with them while I do dishes =)

We had a b-day party to go to. I love C playing with the pink balloon in his skull shirt!

Halloween!

Two years ago on Halloween day C was just a little embryo being thawed and put in my belly...now he's a rough and tumble toddler running anywhere and everyone. How life can change!  Here's the little guy as Sven from Frozen. He had a good time collecting candy and unlike his big sister he already knows what candy is at 15 months, apparently that's a "benefit" of having a big sister =)

K had a great time on Halloween, we got this Elsa costume, complete with wand, tiara and braid and she was over the moon about it. She is getting more and more energy to run from door to door and now starts the bargaining over how much candy she can have a day. We're trying to stick to one piece after dinner. At that rate it'll last until New Year's (without M and I helping of course, which will never happen!).

Here's the pumpkins M carved for them. It's a good thing one of us have enough skill and patience to do this. Ok, I could probably pull of the one on the right.

We just carved them last weekend and last night the Elsa pumpkin had this in it, YIKES! The true horrors of Halloween.

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!!!
