Thanksgiving Weekend

On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving we took the boys bowling.  The two big boys LOVED it and begged Michael to play more games.

We met Michael after a lunch meeting and I thought Conor would fall asleep on the way out to the bowling alley, but he stayed awake the whole time. He was soo cranky during the whole first game that I ended up taking him home and letting Michael and the big boys play a couple more games.

Can you tell how excited they were!?

They are the best of friends and I just love it!

Here are a couple videos of the goofballs bowling

Michael played in the Turkey bowl and the boys and I got ready for our big day of eating!

Everyone is looking at the camera...rare occurrence these days

And while I was getting everything ready I found Conor had pushed a chair up to the silverware drawer and was sticking forks in a chair. Typical for this child! At least it wasn't knives I guess :/

Then we headed to Michael's parents lake house for a yummy feast!

Cheers!

Afterwards our boys rode the cars down the driveway. They had so much fun and probably played for 2 hours outside. 

Big brother duties

My sweet little Peyton

Cruising down the driveway. Love his big smile!

And another little video of the boys

This little boy was exhausted and slept sitting up on the couch.

Then we headed to the Glover's for another yummy dinner

It was a fun filled holiday with lots of family!!

Conor- 21 Months

My little Conor is 21 months old. 

Bed head, cereal and his minion pajamas. Definitely one of the ways I will remember my little Conor at this age. 

Conor has to tag along to support his brothers in all types of events. Poor thing has to catch a nap whenever he can! 

Excited for lunch. This child loves to eat!

And this is what happens if you give the child a cold lunch. Yeah, this little prince of mine insists upon having a hot lunch! Don't worry, I had a backup lunch...I just tried to fool the little guy with the other half of Peyton's PB&J. 

Those lips. His facial expressions are seriously funny.

Can you tell he has a temper!?!? Woah does this child have a temper!

Sliding at the park

These two are my shopping buddies. They don't sit still very long, so we have to book it when we go shopping!

Halloween time! Conor refused to wear his actual costume, so I made him a quick shirt. He kept insisting I wear the hat all night long. 

More park time

Supporting big brother in our Saint Henry's shirt for the fun run

Those baby blues, love them

Oh Conor! You are such a handful these days! You definitely do not want to be overshadowed by your big brothers and you let your presence be known. Even though you can be a handful, you are also probably my most loving little guy. You are always up for some cuddles and I just adore it! Love you Conor!

Patrick's first school presentation

Patrick's first school presentation was this week. We worked really hard on this project. I was so proud of this little boy's hard work!

He was asked to pick out a Saint and learn about him. Then he was asked to decorate a paper Saint, dress as a Saint and deliver a speech to his class about his chosen Saint. We picked out Saint Patrick, naturally!

His costume is starting to come together

And complete!!

His dress rehearsal at home! I'm sure he will do just as well at school!

Fall Soccer Season

Fall soccer season is complete! It was a tough season. Peyton's games were always around 8am and Patrick's games were always around 11am or 12pm in the middle of the day. It was tough to get up and get moving really early on Saturday's and then hard on Conor to have Patrick's games during his naps. Hopefully next season will be a little easier on us with times! Having said that, both Patrick and Peyton loved it. They both really love the competition.

Here is a wrap up in pictures from our season

First game and first goal

Happy Halloween

Our Halloween weekend started off with a fun party with friends. The next night we headed to the Hillwood Halloween party. These cousins were excited to be together.

Conor would not stop putting the hat on my head. This child....

We went on a hay ride, ate dinner, decorated pumpkins and had a fun dance party!

These videos are hard to see, but they are soo funny!!

Then it was time for Halloween night. We went with the Toy Story theme this year family. Patrick was buzz lightyear, Peyton was Woody, Conor was the green alien, Michael was Mr. Potatohead and I was Jessie. Conor refused to wear his actual outfit, so I made him a quick costume that he would actually wear :)

We trick or treated at the Dacus' house.

We went trick or treating in Patrick's school neighborhood. Big was able to join us for trick or treating this year and the kids loved it! Patrick and Peyton loved running from house to house and seeing all of Patrick's friends from school. It was a fun night!
