Happy Halloween!

Its time to share all our Halloween time photos.  Here is a shot of Mike and Lia taking a nap together.  I'm not sure if Mike enjoyed this more or me not having to hold her for awhile.

Sunday we went to "Trunk or Treat" at church and the kids had a blast.  Lia went as a monkey.

The Hatton kids all dressed up.

Crazy hair!

 Ninja Pat.

George had his first Halloween party at school.  Here's Mary showing me here best pose.

Hey George.

 Lia wanted to be in the party mix too.

Here's the class with Miss Keck in the gym.

We also saw Becca and Emily on our rounds through the school.

Then it was back to the classroom for a snack and craft.

Today, Becca got to parade through the school as Merida from Brave.

 Lia being cute...again.

Emily as a pirate.

 While Mike took the other three out to collect some candy, Lia and I stayed home to pass it out.  She LOVED it!  She was excited to see all the kids and even tried to say "Trick or Treat".

She loved the box of Milk Dudes (no I didn't let her eat any!) and almost passed it out to a kid but took it back at the last second.

Here's our shot of all the kids on Halloween night. 

We hope you all have a safe and fun night.

Little Lia's Nose

Lia took a bit of a stumble yesterday ( I think with a little help from George) on the sidewalk.  Check out the nose.

George saw the camera and hammed it up for me.

Lia trying to crawl over George...again.

More George.

Despite how it looks, Lia is fine and as happy as ever.  She (and I by extention) slept better last night than she has in a long time.  We're all ready for Mike to come home.

Missing Dad

Mike had to go out of town for work so I thought I'd take out the camera so he won't forget what what the kids look like.  Yesterday, we had nap time.

Watch her move.

Patrick took off his long-sleeve shirt to do the dishes.

I have no idea what he's doing.

Happy faces.

Tonight I got them to sit together and take a picture.

Now silly faces.

We miss you Mike and hope the testing is going well.  Please say a few prayers for me and the kids.

Catch Up!

It has been a LOOOONG time since I posted and I do apologize for that.  But we have been kinda busy and I don't take the camera with me everywhere.  I'll start by sharing some pictures from September.  Here is Patrick's 2nd grade class outside of church after leading their first Mass of the year.

And the goofy one!

We all marched in the Homecoming parade with the Scouts, but were split between the Daisies and the Cubs.  Here's Becca with some the girls.

Mike took George with him and the Cubs.

We made a trip to Northern Illinois to see Great Grandma and Grandpa.  

Becca really liked the Dorthy snow globe.

Is anyone surprised that Great Grandpa enjoyed Little Lia?  

We didn't take the camera out much in the last two months and not at for soccer.  I will have more pictures from the week soon and I will try to update the blog more from now on.  Thanks.
