Who's Keeping Up??

Time just ticks away too fast!!  SO much has happened in the past 3 months since my last entry.  Highlights it is!

The rest of October brought a few trips out into the woods for Ben to deer hunt.  His friend from College, Mike, who now lives near Atlanta came for opening weekend with his step-son Sean.  Mike shot the hog and a deer and Sean got the other deer.  Halloween brought Ben's unlucky, lucky day.  It began with him successfully shooting 2 bucks. However, after stabbing himself in the thigh while gutting the second deer, he spent the rest of the day in the Emergency Room.  Brent stayed as far away from the deer as possible while Brody couldn't get close enough!



Grandma Aunt Irm, GrandpaGrandpa, Uncle Cory, Aunt Christina, Hannah and JP stopped by for a quick visit on their way home to Wisconsin from Destin, FL.  It's always fun to have cousins together.




Halloween Fun!  
We went to a local "Pumpkin Patch" to pick out this years pumpkins.  This time of year always makes Ben & I miss Wisconsin as it's just not the same going to get pumpkins that have been shipped in on a truck! However, the boys know no different and had a great time!  





Aunt Jen sent the boys a very fun Halloween Package that included these neat "Mr. Potato Head" pieces to decorate their pumpkins.  No knives required :o)







Aunt Jen's package also had some fun teeth in it.

The boys were Pirates this year.  It worked out well because Brody's costume was a handmedown from friends in South Carolina that Brent had worn earlier in the year to a Buccaneer dinner.  I happened to come across the same costume for Brent to wear on Craigslist for $5!!   

We Trick-or-Treated the neighborhood with our neighbor Miss Stacy and her daughter, Lia.  Brent knew exactly what to do while Brody hung back a bit.  By a few blocks Brody was an expert just like the older kids.




Ben was a trooper going Trick-or-Treating after getting home from the ER.  Walking (Limping) as far as the boys wanted to go.
