Happy Halloween is Over...Hooray!

Halloween is definitely not my favorite holiday; there are just too many creeps in this world that taint the fun. However, I do enjoy the dressing up part; and although the girls still dress up fairly regularly when they play, there is nothing like wearing a costume out and about in town, so cute!

And although Halloween dress-up day at school is a thing of the past; they had "backwards, inside-out and crazy accessory dress-up in place of costumes; the kids had a blast!

That night we went trick or treating and to Grandma & Grandpa's house to have a bowl of chili and some corn bread, yummy. I deemed the day as a success!

Baby Boy is 8 Months

Time is flying and my sweet baby boy is 8 months today! I am one blessed Mama!
It seems as though Jaxon just turned 7 months

and now he's the big 8 months...slow down time!

Being 8 months can sure tucker a baby out; get a load of this guy...

His social calendar is jam packed. He wakes up every morning and spends time with his sisters (he usually crawls all over them to wake them up for school).

He takes this job very seriously.

He dresses for the day and has some breakfast 

We walk the girls to school 

every Tuesday they choose to dress like twins---love them!

and Jax naps on our way home

He practices standing

Then more sleeping

After school we sometimes visit Nonna Bella (or Bella Nonna, 

(as he girls call her),

take the girls to Hip Hop,

or attend a parade with our best friends

where big sister and her bestie wear their matching backpacks 

and then, more playing at home ...

until baby (8 month old) Jax crashes for the night

It's a busy life he leads, but somebody has got to do it! Love this sweet boy and cherish every moment!

The Patch

Going to the Pumpkin Patch is a tridition in the Hand Family; we usually hit up a few in the month of October. The girls went to Bates with Grandma and Grandpa and the "jumpy" patch off Manchester 2x with family. Oh, how we love the fall (and our little pumpkins)!

More fall fun was to be had at the Kelly Carnival with friends, 

family and lots of treats.

Looking forward to more fall festivities!
