The kids had fun dressing up this year.  We went to our church's Harvest Party instead of trick or treating.  The kids had a great time playing games with all their friends.  We did trick or treat my grandma the next day though.  My dad came in from working for a bit to see the costumes.  Brooke was a ladybug.  My dad got to hold her for a quick second so I hurried and took a picture. 

 Here is Mr. Spiderman.  I bet you can't guess who's under the mask!

 And Rapunzel.  Addy and I made some long hair. For the Harvest Party we braided it in with her real hair so it looked sort of the same. Her clever idea!

 

 

 Brooke is sleeping in a big bed now, but the mattress in on the floor.  You can see why.  We had some guards to put on the bed, but she pushed against them in the night and they ripped, so they weren't doing much good.

 A package came in the mail the other day from Nana.  That is always so exciting for the kids.  They got busy making pictures and hand delivered them to the neighbors.  So cute!

 This is what happens Sunday afternoons.  Brooke fights it, but Scott doesn't.

 I was helping Addy with school work yesterday and Luke was in the living room singing.  I noticed that it suddenly got quiet.  I called for him and he didn't answer, so I thought I better go check it out.  He rocked and sang himself to sleep. 

Probably the neatest thing I am finding out about being a mom is that I love it more all the time.  The 3 kids are such good friends and playmates.  I can't imagine doing anything else than raising them.  They are always building and pretending something, and Brooke is just like the big kids now.  I'm so glad that a baby will be joining us in February.  Can't wait for her to get here!  But in the meantime, I will enjoy each day with these 3 little kids as they learn, grow and play.  They truly are a joy and a BLESSING from the Lord.
