Happy Halloween!

-







The kids started their Halloween with a costume parade at their school before their class party.
After school we played for a bit and then we all put on our costumes, trick or treated at G.G. and Gramps' house, and stopped at Uncle Larry's house where Hank gave the kids each a jalepeno! We then went to meet some friends at the Rail Yard Restaurant. For school, Davis had been Venom and Sam a clone trooper, but for the evening, Davis was black spider man and Sam was Luke Skywalker. Michael dressed up as the Red Baron and I went as a vampire.
After dinner we met up with more friends and went trick or treating on San Antonio Street. There were lots of people there and some fun decor at the houses. It was a bit of a mad house and we didn't stay long, but the kids LOVED it. They were so excited to get home and trade me all the candy for the toys I had bought them. They each got to keep as many pieces of candy as they are years old and then they gave me the rest and collected the toys. Sam got a submarine Finn McMissile and Davis got a Transformer. They were both exhausted and didn't even have a piece of candy they just clutched their toys and fell into their beds. They loved the holiday and we loved sharing it with them.

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

-
The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
