Insta-update!

I had never seen them so happy...

Admiring his hero...

I mean come on, its Dole Whip! Fav part of Disneyland!

A certain little one is starting to run out of energy.

Parade watching. Couldn't quite get Linc on my shoulders.

I mean we were driving right by Swig...what was I supposed to do?

Schoolboys. Back at it.

Got ready. Drake came in the room. Shouted "you got a hat" "you weird". Um okay. And he has continued to tell me that all day.

Every now and then, when I'm in a certain kind of mood. I look at the three little piles of laundry I just folded and I think of the three little boys that created it. And I feel super grateful to be the mom folding that laundry.

Ooh there's a chill out there today! Pulled out my boots and all. And look at this cute girl standing next to me. She's a picture perfect picture of fall!

My lil' sweeties! Couldn't love them more.

I'm cleaning the boys' mirror and secretly watching his reflection. He's reading his Iron Man book and making a million sound effects. Spit flying everywhere. Quite the kid.

First time for second grade. Happy day.

It's the quietest of coziest mornings. Days like this I miss my biggest boy. Wish he was home with his brothers in front of the fireplace.

It's a great to be a second grader! Sportin' his new Clinton Cougar hoodie, school carnival tonight AND he entered his pumpkin in the pumpkin walk contest. He's a little hyped up this morning.

My mother in law asked if she could take the kids to a birthday party for the night. Uh heck yeah, take em...Date Night!

Happy Sunday!

It's Monday. And brothers are at school. And he smells like syrup. And his little hands are sticky. And we're washing sheets. But we stopped to play on the bed first. Have a good one friends.

My boy.

Emergency Walmart run. We needed apple pie filling. Pj's and Spiderman slippers. We fit right in.

My volunteer time today was during the readathon. How could I not take his picture?? Too freakin cute!

I sit right here in this blue chair and talk to my boy everyday when he gets home from work. He tells me about his day. I tell him about mine. With three little boys interrupting us the entire time. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Big night for my Cano boys. IronMan 3!! And a sleepover downstairs with their dad!

King of the monkey bars. Hands full of blisters to prove it!

Finally got our book order! Yay! Pretty sure I'm more excited than Linc.

Front flips in the golden sunlight.

October 24th. Its about time we made some of these.

I couldn't resist this tree. I just couldn't.

First bee sting for my sweet boy. Lots of tears.

Look what arrived yesterday. Targets big toy ad. Toys R Us will be right behind it.

Waiting on his popcorn. Watching "Hocus Pocus" one last time.

Remember how I said I make all kinds of parenting "whoops". Made one. Carson was supposed to take a mini pumpkin today, in the excitement of getting Linc out the door for his party I totally spaced it. I got it there in time, little late, but fine. Carson said he was worried all day.

Look at him. When he sleeps he reminds me of the baby he used to be. Not the great big almost 3 year old he really is. Why does it have to hurt?

I love this boy. And I love the spider pumpkin he made. And love that he had a good day. His happy is my happy.

"Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen, voices whisper in the trees, Tonight is Halloween."

And there ya have it....
