Just in case you are wondering why it is still dark outside? The garbage truck picks up our trash on Wednesday at 5:00 am. Yes, crazy I know and I think it was actually 4:50 this morning! Do they really need to come that early!! But who loves the garbage truck and hears it? You guessed it HOLDEN! Thankfully, he laid back down for a bit but it was still early when he was up for the day!
went on a nature walk or in Holden's eyes a deer hunt, 
Kevin and I went shopping on Black Friday, met our friends Jenny and Meredith at the park,
and spent quality family time together. 
I know we all had a great visit and can't wait to visit again soon.
(Note: I am the one smiling and long hair.) I was thrilled he named us. And I told him that he was so sweet. He replied, "Yes, because you buy me Happy Meals and they are my favorite!" I knew there was a catch! 
Pilgrim Hats
and Turkey Gobblers. 
To be honest, I think I may have created a monster! Holden expects special lunches/treats each day! HA! What have I done! I guess I better get to planning some more special holiday treats. Happy Thanksgiving Eating! 
Only a couple of items were scratched or broken, not too bad for being in storage over 2 months. Thankfully, Kevin's parents were here to help with he boys while I directed what to go where. And the visit would not be complete with out putting Dad-daddy to work installing a chandelier. 
I also feel like we had the entire welcoming committee come to our house, which was such a delight. We received this beautiful house warming basket for our realtor Jodie,
from various neighbors we received muffins and a gift bag for Holden and Rylan, oatmeal cookies, and this Cincinnati favorites basket with tons of local treats.
For a moment, I thought we were in the South. 
But the most important part of getting settled is getting back to our tradition of Friday Night Movie Night. As you can see, the boys are feeling right at home! 
You really would have thought that they had not seen grass, ever!
But then they spotted the neighbors play set. 
Can we say envious?? I believe Santa is going to have to bring us a new one. (ours was part of the negotiation with the house sale in Georgia) I know this weekend is going to be alot of work but I am so looking forward to it!! Our sellers are the nicest, most organized people; they labeled the wires for surround sound, TV and such. 
Plus the house was immaculate! I really think the sellers husband may be Kevin's twin! (with his organizational skills and all) Oh, finally a place to call home! Wish us luck.
Even though it was cold, we all had a great time, got tons of candy and received lots of laughs! Isn't that what Halloween is all about! 
A special Thank You to Aunt Becky Ann for all the adorable Superhero decorations!
Here are a couple of other trunks that we loved. 
On a surprising note, when we got back to the apartment I was expecting Holden to go crazy over the candy. But he said he wanted to save it for later and only had a Tootsie Roll! Is he getting sick??? Rylan on the other hand devoured animal crackers, pretzels, and mini oreos! So even though we are not settled in our new house, the boys were able to trick or treat. But most of all, we had a fun time with great memories of our first Halloween in Ohio. Happy Halloween! 
Class picture! They all look so cute!
I had a difficult time thinking of something that did not revolve around food for a treat bag. I went with Homemade Orange Play dough and a Halloween Cookie cutter. I know Holden loves play dough and hopefully his friends do too.
And we topped the day off with Monster Munch!
See the buzz cut!!!
The boys thought this was great and I had fun putting it together! I will not bore you all with a post everyday of our treats. But I will post the ones that turn out the cutest! Happy Halloween Eating!
