October Family Fun

Matt  turned 35 on October 5th and so we celebrated with him. Matt and I went out and got a bite to eat at our favorite restaraunt...Chilis...love their chips..... and then we came back and celebrated with the kids too. They opened daddys presents and we had some cupcakes and ice cream. Matt's favorite present we gave him was of course the cheapest present. He loves big heavy glass cups from restaraunts. So we found some at Wal-Mart. And he loved them! I can't believe Matt is 35....Corey said "that rounds up to 40." Can you tell what she is learning in Matt this year? She told Matt that 35 sounded so old to her. We were laughing.

We also decorated our pumpkins on Friday night. We did something a little different this year and painted them. The kids loved that. They always have fun doing crafty things. And Casen especially loved painting but he sure got messy! WOW! And then afterwards, they did a little treasure hunt and found some Halloween PJS at the end of the hunt for their reward!

Saturday, Corey had another soccer game and they did pretty good! Then we decorated our house a little bit for Halloween. And we also tried Chuck-o-rama for the first time ever.... for dinner. It was awesome. But we cannot go there very often because there is too much good food and that is not good for the diet! But the kids ate great there and they loved it too!

Today we finished decorating the house for Halloween and Corey and Cade even decorated their rooms a little bit. It cracks me up to see me and Matt's habbits and traits rubbing off on our kids. Corey is such a planner...she drew up a blueprint plan to show how she was going to decorate her room. It was so cute! And Casen is very clean and always such a good boy to clean up his toys. But tonight I asked him if  he would help me clean up the books we were all reading and he said "No thanks mom, you can do it!" I was laughing so hard. At least he was polite.  The other night, he melted my heart when he told me that Crew was his Best Friend. They really are so cute together. Crew looks at Casen like he knew him from before this life. Crew loves Casen too. It is so cute!
