November already??

This year is just flying by! We have had a busy and fun fall and now winter is right around the corner!

Halloween was a lot of fun. We spent Saturday afternoon at cousin Robbie's and Betsy's annual leaf crawl. The boys had a blast and got so much fun stuff. Fletcher really got into it and loved crawling through the leaves. We then went to a pumpkin patch on Sunday and picked out our pumpkins, saw all the animals and took a hayride. We carved our pumpkins and had a great dinner at home. We took the boys trick or treating last night and they had a great time and got so much candy! This was Fletcher's first halloween where he actually went up to the houses and he always said "trick or treat", "thank you" and "happy halloween". Of course he learned this from his big brother who did a great job as well. At the end of the night, they were both so tired and Alex finally said, "I'm satisfied with this candy that I have". LOL. Fletcher was Buzz Lightyear this year and Alex was Jango Fett (from Clone Wars).

Alex is doing well in school. He amazes me with some of the things he knows. He likes to do math problems, so we work on that at night. He continues with karate and is working toward his orange belt now.
Fletcher loves hanging out with grandma and great grandma. They go a lot of places and he loves playing outside in their big backyard! He is talking a lot, knows the alphabet and can count to 10. He loves following his big brother around and will copy just about anything Alex does!
