HALLOWEEN!!

Jacob wants to be an animal every year, last year we lucked out with a size 5/6 monkey we were able to squeeze him into. Hard to imagine, but they really only make animal costumes in toddler sizes...hmmm...maybe this should tell us something, most seven year olds don't want to dress up like a chicken, penguin or pig. We settled on a banana this year, at least it's the food of an animal, we'll deal with next year when it comes.

Classic Sam face, how can he be grumpy on Halloween, don't worry he cheered up as soon as people starting filling his bag with candy


Luckily Halloween was on a Friday this year, allowing us to have a fun sleepover with lots of candy eating!

As a side note, my little sister is having a boy. As soon as she told me I thought, oh good now we will have the same thing. I am still pretty sure I am having a boy, it will be great to have a close cousin!

Your blog is so cute! I just spent about 20 minutes catching up on your life! I loved the post about "bad seed," I have one too. His name is Chase, he never seems to stop thinking about how to terrorize my world. We love him to death but I have to really watch him. You are amazing keeping up with three boys, I only have two and am just surviving! Anyway, next time you are in town we have to get together with all the girls! Keep in touch!

Oops, almost forgot, congratulations on #4. Are you going to find out what you are having?

Melissa, it's Brenna! I found you through Andrea's blog. You have three darling boys and you look amazing as always. I can't belive how fast time goes by. I hope all is well. Do you keep in touch with Lisel? I have been thinking about her. Take care.

What cute little animals and a banana! That's a fun costume. When do you find out what you are having!? I want to know officially!

Jana said...

Yes, the heartbreak I was referring to is related to pregnancy. I guess we have followed the same path...#'s 2 and 3 were easy but getting #4 not so much! Total flashbacks to before Anneka. I am fine though and hanging in there. I just wish it wasn't such a hormonal process! I get pretty wacky! haha

I know it's belated...but happy birthday! Now if you'd just sign up on Facebook, I could have been on time with my birthday wishes. I hope you had a great birthday with your band of boys. That is a good looking crew.

Whatever - I know what it means that christie is having a boy.
I meant to call you all day on your birthday, but I'm a loser. I hope you had a very happy day. We are already looking forward to seeing you guys for Christmas!!!!

Hi Melissa, I am not some weird stalker but a friend of Brett's from high school, just wanted to say hi and comment on your blog. Your boys are adorable!!!! I have 4 boys and love it. I hear you guys are expecting your fourth.....chances are it's another boy. (speaking from exerience) It works out nicely cause then I get to be queen of the house. Everyone was so sad for me thinking that I wouldn't get a girl after 3 boys. At first I was a little sad, but now couldn't be more thrilled. Very exciting, hope your pregnancy is going well.

Melissa - Hey there! I found your blog from Diane - sooo cute!

Great - now I need to spend hours going through all of your posts to see your cute kids and family!

It was so fun to hang out with you at Liz's party! I was telling Gigi how fun it was to get to know you better! You are so cute and Brett is super funny! that boy is quick-witted!

You have to keep me posted about whether you are having a boy or girl - I will run as fast as I can to get you that little Winnie-the Pooh outfit you were so wanting for your baby! :0)
