Locks of Love

I am very excited to say that last week a few days ago I got my hair cut for locks of love! I love it soooooooo much :) Here are some before and after pics:

Circus!

My mom was able to get tickets to the circus for a cheaper price (homeschooling does have it's advantages ;) and we had lots of fun. I brought a friend and a couple other families we know came too. Sorry most of the pictures are blurry (as I type this Sam is standing over my shoulder telling me which ones I should delete and which ones are really blurry) but the lighting there was weird and even with my flash on some of them came out fuzzy. I will {try} not to overwhelm you with pictures ;)

Oh and did I mention Benjamin had an allergic reaction to pollen and broke out in hives? And had a double ear infection? No? Oh, well.

This is probably my favorite picture :)

On the way home :)

These people were on a wire right above us. No worries right?

Luckily these people were on the other side of the room ;)

The half man half woman. When we got home and Sam saw the picture, he confirmed that it was actually a man :D

Nano the midget :)

This was probably the most boring uninterested part of the whole circus

Nano and the ringmaster

These last five were taken before the show. We got there early enough to go to the floor and see the clowns and take pics with them.

Me and my friend Riley :)

Benjamin didn't exactly like the clowns ;)

Me and Emily <3

Playing Outside and When Dad Goes Grocery Shopping ...

The other day was really nice out so we (Hannah and I) took the boys outside to play. All of the pics were taken by Hannah with Mom's camera except for the first one (which I took with Mom's camera too :).

If you can't tell by the picture, there's three movies (The Blind Side, National Treasure 2, and Up), two bags of jellybeans, two bags of sour gummy worms, a box of gumballs, and bunny shaped marshmallows :D

Halloween

This year Hannah and I didn't dress up, but Benjamin and Samuel dressed up as pirates.

Later at the house Benjamin traded his pirate hat for Dad's.

He found the pumpkin handle much more appetizing than the actual candy.

Whoa... Sugar rush!

Benjamin was very disappointed when he found out that inviting yourself into your neighbor's house is not what your supposed to do while trick or treating.

Even though Sam was a pirate a few years ago, he insisted on being it again this year.

Ignore the diaper hanging out, focus on taking the pictures.

Clara Hope

Clara Hope came home almost two weeks ago. She's so precious, and I've been meaning to post pictures ever since she was born, but I kept forgetting. Here they are:
