Halloween In Kville

Andrew was a turtle in a half shell.

Boo!

Eliza is always in her own world. We watched her walk away from her parents and find other things to entertain her...she was moving so much it was hard to get a perfect shot, cause here she looks like she is clapping her way to dream land.

Andrew is curious and friendly. He talks and waves to EVERYONE! Sometimes it gets awkward cause he really doesn't care who it is...but it just reminds us to love everyone.

This is Porter's new Bestie...Jacksen. Port of course is spiderman but ended up ditching the hot mask for a red arrow like Jacksens.

Some of our new BFFs, The Metcalfe Fam...minus baby William who decided he'd sleep threw this party.

Cranney Fam 2010

The night is never complete without an argument..

(..don't start dialing the domestic abuse hotline just yet, they are just arguing about whether or not ANN will get kicked off America's Next Top Model)

We were booked solid on the 30th! We were so excited to hang out with friends, play games, two trunk or treats, two carnivals one dinner and a partridge in a pear tree. To be completely honest, I was nervous that the fall season just wouldn't live up to our Syracuse lifestyle. But we had a great time and while we miss our friends dearly...we sure are enjoying our new ones!

Weekend In KC

We went to KC for Bumpy's baby shower. Before the shower Monc, Dad, Grandma, Me, Mike, Andrew and Port took a stroll on a local trail. It is was pretty and nice to get some fresh air and some quality time with the fam.

Mike enjoying a homemade granola bar. (sorry babe, this is the only picture I had of your cute mug)

Porter

The young and the old.

Andrew and Grandma in their wheel chairs.

cool lookin' spider.

How long do you have to wait...

When I got home from the store I was glad to see Porter waiting in the window.

When I walked in the door I was surprised that there was no movement..."port? port?"

aww...

Poor kid will learn that waiting on a woman to shop takes far too long...

OTM

Mike had to practice OTM before his test...he is over there studying before he adjusts Mer.

awkward? uh...yeah!

Even for me...

Red Barn Festival

You KNOW I was attracted to this booth!...look at all the cute yummy goodies.

Porter got himself a cookie and a sword from the clowns...

And...mike came home with...nothing. But it was a great morning walking around the square with my boys. Mer stayed home while Andrew napped.

Red Barn Festival is a huge market that has the cutest crafts and booths you could ever think of! I love to go and get cute ideas for the house that I'm never going to actually use. :)

that's all for now. it's almost 2 am and I think I've enjoyed having time for myself a little longer than I should've. I'm gonna hate that I blogged in four hours when I have to get up. I would also like to give a shout out to the MAC! Without this speedy little contraption, i simply wouldn't be motivated to update. NIGHTY NIGHT FANS.

Hay Ride

After the parade, a family in our church hosted a fun night on their beautiful farm. We enjoyed visiting our new friends, hay riding it up through the corn field and a weeny roast over a big fat bon fire. Mer is so sweet with the boys, Andrew really loves her. He calls her "meh" and runs to her when she comes home from school.

Homecoming Parade

I love Kville, cause even though it's dinky, There is always something to do! The high school had homecoming this past weekend so we went to their parade. It was short and sweet. A beautiful day and my boys were very well behaved! We even stood by the sweetest lady who kept giving Porter candy. Her sweet little boy (8-10 year old) even gave him some of his candy. I think they felt bad for all of Porter's failed efforts and disappointed looks he kept giving me from the street.

This picture of the boys just about sums up life. Porter helps with Andrew whenever he can. He is the sweetest big brother. Last month the school held a date night. Some girls from Truman State host a huge kid party while moms and dads go out...when we came to pick the boys up Andrew was out cold. They said that Andrew just wanted to snuggle up with Porter, so Porter sat with him 'til he fell asleep. I love these boys together! It's the best feeling in the world when I see how much they love each other!
