Our Sweet Boys

Cookie Decorating

The boys and I were invited to the school secretary's house to decorate Halloween cookies. Kim was such a gracious hostess. She had many different shaped cookies baked and tons of toppings. The boys had a great time and got all sugared up and then ran it off in the backyard. I'll have to remember to do something like this in the future!

Painting Pumpkins

We have gotten into the habit lately of painting pumpkins at our house instead of carving them. It is much easier that way with little 6 year old hands involved. Maybe next year we will venture out and carve. Grant of course painted his green and Preston used blue. Connor was over this activity before we even began. He didn't even want his pic taken, but I told him I would win this battle:)

Grant Lost A Tooth

This post holds pictures of Grant before and after he lost his first tooth. He was so excited to have been the first of the twins to lose a tooth. He propped his tooth fairy pillow just right so that the fairy wouldn't miss it. When he awoke he was the proud owner of a crips $5 bill. He was so proud of himself. Soon after the first tooth he lost a second.

Cute Boys

I found the twins new t-shirts conveniently in their favorite colors. There a little big, but they will have to do. Connor also wanted in on the pics and had to tag Harley Lou with him. They just LOVE that sweet dog!

We Are The Champions

The Dallas Mavericks won the NBA Championship! Honey treated the boys to new t-shirts.

Arbo Day With Our Friends

Every year we make plans to get together with our special Halpin friends to go see the loads of pumpkins at the Dallas Arboretum. This year we have been so busy that we haven't gotten to spend much time with them so we especially had a great time. It is so fun to see how big the boys are getting and watch how they interact with each other. It's almost as if they live right next door to each other...unfortunately that is far from the truth.

Grant was such the helper! He pushed Mrs. Rachel's stroller and carried our food:)

All 6 Boys

What a trio!

Aunt Etta's Birthday

In October we went to Oklahoma for a very special Aunt's birthday. Doug's great aunt turned 93! The entire extended family packed up and traveled to the boy's old hometown to celebrate Etta with Doug's dad, Joy, and Etta's friends. Etta truly enjoyed the surprise get together. After the party we went to Doug's dad's "5 Acres". This was a special place to Doug growing up. Ed has 3 horses out there that all the grandchildren got to spend time riding. I don't know who had more fun...Grandpa Ed or the kids:)
