Makes for a lot of sugar and very excited boys! We had a very fun and busy day with basketball, cake decorating, Husker watching, trick-or-treating and happy birthday singing. We had a pumpkin carving party at Gramma and Papa's house on Friday night where with help from an adult the boys all created jack-o-lanterns. Then Saturday was busy fun with Daddy's birthday and Halloween. Here are a few pictures from the events.

Nebraska City 2009
I love our annual trip to Nebraska City. It's usually a beautiful fall day the kids run through orchards, play at the park and hunt for the perfect pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. We get to eat apple donuts, apple pie and enjoy apple cider. Well this past Sunday we went to Nebraska City and enjoyed the above minus the beautiful fall day. Oh well you can't always have it all. When we arrived at our usual pumpkin farm the owners told us to go to the fields and whatever you pick you get for free. Very nice of them. So off we went in search of a perfect pumpkin, turns out we found a few. The boys and Papa got really into it and within a half hour Gramma's car was full of pumpkins of many shapes and sizes. It was a blast.

First Tooth!
Tristan lost his first tooth!! He was excited then scared after it came out. About 9:30 last night he came running down telling us his tooth was very loose. After some checking we told him to relax and go back to bed it wasn't coming out tonight. Rather than going to bed he went to the mirror and wiggled his tooth until it came out. He came running down with great big excited eyes and a huge smile. Which turned to nervous excitement as there was still blood in his mouth which freaked him out a little. I'm sure the next three will happen soon as his front three teeth are quite loose also.

To the farm we go
Tristan and Colin had a couple days off of school and Greg had taken those days off os work so we headed up to Grandma and Grandpa Schulz's farm. We had fun exploring the farm, riding the four wheeler, helping to harvest some beans and playing games. Greg really had fun with the four wheeler. The boys just had fun running around and just being boys. Enjoy a few pictures from the weekend.

Pizza and a movie
It has been awhile since we made our own pizza at home. It's been about three weeks since I have wanted to cook anything more than mac-n-cheese or reheating something in the oven. I've been worried that it would smell bad for potential buyers, but I wanted to cook with the boys tonight so I went for it. They had so much fun and really enjoyed their creations. And all is cleaned up and smells okay! Then we watched Race to Witch Mountain. I remember liking Escape to Witch Mountain when I was a kid. It's a bit different with the Rock and modern technology. Still pretty fun.

Back to School
Tristan and Colin were back to school today. Tristan is in second grade and Colin is in first grade this year. They have started at Crestridge Magnet School. It'll be closer to our house when we move. We are very excited about the new school it has an emphasis on foreign language and international studies. It's crazy the paths life takes you. Years ago Greg went to school at Crestridge for a few months in third grade. So now our children have attended schools that at one time or another their parents were students and teachers Kind of fun. I can't wait to hear about their day.
