Halloween, Dad's Birthday, 1st snow, and more

We have had a pretty full week!  Halloween was fun,  Eleanor was Mike from monster's inc.  sorry I don't have any pictures.  Ben was going to be a dinosaur but didn't want to wear his costume and I didn't want to fight the battle.  we went to a few family members houses with both kids and then Ben and I came home and Dad and Eleanor walked about a 3 block loop.  we ended up with a large shoe box full of candy.  more than enough!  We only had about 10 people stop at our house.  Then on saturday, there was a 4h halloween party at the fair grounds with games and a haunted house.  Eleanor had a blast and Ben was a wild man!

Seth's birthday was monday.  I made him cuban sandwiches.  yum!  and then we got an ice cream cake from DQ.  double yum!  some of his gifts were some bbq supplies, a case for his kindle, and a superman t shirt that Eleanor picked out.

We also managed to get Ben's room a make over this week.  long over due!

and It was slow at work so I got to take call and stay home with my babies and play in the snow.  Eleanor was so excited!  we were bundled up and outside by 8 am! not much for a snowman but fun none the less!
