Halloween

Another Halloween has come & gone and this was a great one. Perfect weather and fairly cooperative kids. We love Halloween around here and this year was no different. We decided not to host a houseful of guest this year for various reasons and it was nice to have a more low key night. The neighborhood shops once again hosted their trick or treat event so most of the candy in our house came from them. We did hit the rounds and made it about 3 blocks this year, which is our longest outing yet. Maeve actually participated just a little bit this year. She was more interested in eating the candy the.exact.moment.she.got.it. Not doing so caused a few tears, but I think she now gets the point that it is not a meal, so much as a treat.

This year we had a scream character (Aidan), Woody (Cian), Batman (Fintan) and Jesse (Maeve). Our cousins- sailor girl, iron man and princess were also on hand to celebrate!

Chiefs

Aidan, Cian and I had the chance to go to the Chiefs' game this past Sunday with my dad, brother and niece. We had such a good time and what a great game. The boys love football (they seriously got nothin from me!) and even if you didn't love football, Chiefs' games are just fun. Unfortunately Aidan started not feeling well during the game (which resulted in 3 days of fever and vomiting, but that FUN is for another post!) and it was Halloween so we couldn't stay the whole time. We loved tailgating and everything red Sunday entails. Can't wait to go again!

Cian's soccer

I did a horrible job of getting pictures of Cian during this soccer season, so I had to cram them in on the last game. Unfortunately the game was a slaughter with Cian's team not on the winning side, but they played really well. He had such a great season and really enjoyed getting to know these boys. We are looking forward to the Spring league already.
