Happy Halloween!

I know this is a little late, but I wanted to get these pictures put up before Thanksgiving got here! I've been meaning to upload more to Facebook, but between having computer issues and running around like a chicken with its head cut off, it hasn't happened yet! Halloween marked one year since we closed on our house! Since we obviously couldn't pass out candy last year with having just closed, I was looking forward to passing it out this year! We dressed Eli up as a little ghost, ate chili, watched Halloween movies, and passed out candy to all our trick-or-treaters. I'm guessing we had roughly 50-60 kids come by. I was especially excited that one kid dressed up as Johnny from the book The Outsiders, mostly because we just finished reading it at school! Mason's dad and step-mom also came over for a little while to see Eli dressed up. Though Eli didn't care, it was fun to hang out together!

Our three pumpkins-- mine, Eli's and Mason's.

Our cute little ghost!

Sitting like a big boy in his bumbo seat!

All that Halloween fun wore him out!

As always, we have been staying busy. Our district had conferences this past Thursday and Friday, so it was nice to get those out of the way and have a four day weekend to enjoy. Mason was very excited because it's opening weekend for rifle season. He is currently in Bethany as I write this, with his buddy, brother-in-law, and cousin. He just text to inform me that he has shot two does and is in the process of looking for one of them. Here's hoping he can find it!! Mason's mom and step-dad came down for the weekend, so Eli and I spent some time with them and did some shopping. We went to the gift shop at Sybill's in St. James, and Shelly and I were in hog heaven! They had so much cute Christmas stuff! I'll definitely have to make a trip over there again in the near future. We also did some antique shopping and just relaxed. We also had some excitement! Mr. Eli decided to not only roll from his tummy to his back, but he also laughed! Mason was pretty bummed that he missed it, but it was sure neat to witness! He's getting so big and will be four months old tomorrow; time is sure flying!

I should be cleaning, but I'm going to spend the rest of the day just lounging with Eli. Since I don't have school tomorrow I figured that laying in our pjs and doing nothing would be okay for one day! Plus, it's raining out, and that's the best way to spend rainy days! I hope everyone has had an enjoyable weekend and lets not forget to honor our veterans!! :)
