Living in Georgia

 It's always fun to decorate for Halloween with a house full of boys. My lovely fall decor suddenly becomes spooky and scary.  Skeleton's and tombstones...  And a few pumpkins thrown about.  Wyatt wanted to be just like Jack this year, so he got a black horse head.  Jack and his lacrosse bro's wanted to trick or treat together, so the boys came over to our house to start the evening.  They started with a game of football in the cul-de-sac while we had our annual neighborhood get together.  Then it was up the street and off they went.  The lax bros all went as different horse heads.  Jack's loot.  Wyatt's loot.  I love this photo of Ethan sitting up at the table to do his homework.

We headed up to the skating rink for one day during our Fall Break week off school. It had been awhile and it showed with Wyatt. I think we need to be a bi...

He makes me so proud of the young man he is becoming.  We had a lot of little celebrations for him, since his birthday fell around some lacrosse games and close to our school's fall break. But he was very happy to get this Hobbit book with gorgeous illustrations from Nana and Granddad.  Then it was off to a Mexican dinner with a birthday surprise after a game!  Ethan loves to play with Mr. Jason and those two have a very special bond.  Then a little karaoke fun from Dad.  The kids all sat and watched in awe but Kimberly really got into it.  Then present time from Mom and Dad.  What is it???  A cool hand board.  Then we hosted his lacrosse buddies and all their families for a BBQ dinner - and sleepover for the boys.  I am so thankful that Jack has found such...
