Our Halloween Adventures

What a busy weekend it has been!

Friday Katie had a swim team party at the same time Zach had soccer practice and pictures for his team and John hours away at work. Once I figured it all out and had each of the kids to where they needed to be I got a call that my brother in laws girlfriend went into labor. Both Zach and Katie had a great time and had lots of fun with there teams we got everyone home changed and fed waiting to here if I was needed at the Hospital and waiting for John to get home from work(Friday's are the worst for him, long drive made longer with traffic.) Lucky for us I wasn't needed at the hospital until early Sat. morning so we had a nice evening together as a family.

I got the call to go to the Hospital around 6:30 a.m. so that left John to get all the kids ready to go to Zach's soccer game that morning. It was a cold day John is the 2nd coach so Aaron stayed on the side with John while Katie found a friend to play with. Aaron was cold but he did a good job helping dad and staying close by the whole game.

Baby was born about 10:15 Sat. morning Sean Jr. 6lb 14oz named after his father. The kids came to visit and Aaron has been waiting for this baby boy to come for many months so he wanted to see his baby and was the only one who wanted to hold him. Mother and Baby are doing good. I will post more pictures another day.

After leaving the Hospital I took Katie and Aaron to see John's Mem and Pep for a visit that was planed earlier in the day but had to be pushed back because of the baby. We had a nice visit with them and love to spend time listening to there stories.
While we were their John took Zach to a friends Birthday party, he had a blast and came home full of cake and candy!
After that we went to the Gardner Ward chili cook off. We use to be in that Ward and John's Grandparents still attend so we love to go as often as we can to visit with old friends. They had games for the kids and Grandma won 1st place for her chili, and Katie got the closest noise for pin the tail on the pumpkin and won a prize as well. We had a fun night but couldn't wait to get home after a long day.

Sunday we went to Church back in Gardner to help on time.

We went to the Mall to trick or treat first and had a great time with the kids and it was nice and warm inside no coats needed.

Halloween is Grandma Shattuck's Birthday so we had a party with her and got to see lots of family. We all went out and walked around her complex and got lots of good treats.

We had a fun time this weekend but did not really have any time to relax so it was nice to sit for a minute and watch the kids go through there candy. I have never had so many things going on in one weekend so I am very glad it is Monday!!
