Frankenstein

Someone has finally decided they like to walk more than crawl

Ahhhh vacation....and Halloween

(Popcorn and a Halloween flick with Bub)

 We are thrilled that Matt just took a new job much closer to the house and he was able to take the week of Halloween off before starting at his new company.  We had a wonderful week!  We started off with a surprise visit from Bub, then headed up to Lake Geneva for a short fall getaway, and then spent the rest of the week at home enjoying all the Halloween festivities and bumming around town.  It was a really relaxing week and we all thoroughly enjoyed spending the extra time together.  Charlie in particular was very dismayed by the fact that Matt actually did have to go back to work yesterday:)  Here's a picture overload!

 We stayed at a hotel that has an indoor water park in Geneva, pretty much heaven for the boys
 Snacks and football
 Why a hotel with a water park is such an awesome idea
 Hiking in Geneva
 Back in Wheaton
 It poured rain on Halloween day, so Alec's outdoor school parade was moved indoors, not quite as cool, but still pretty cute
 Cooper, Archie amd Eli Manning watching for Peyton
 I helped with Alec's class party - pumpkin bowling was my station
 Alec's class
 The Manning clan
 Shockingly, the rain let up for trick-or-treating
Halloween was a big hit around here!
