Halloween

We had so much fun decorating our new house for Halloween! Well...I had so much fun hehe. Here's what we did on the inside.

Powder room

Cutest wall decor!

I took the boys to the dollar spot at Target to pick out some decorations for their room and they were SO excited to put them up! And they could hardly wait for dad to get home to show him. It was absolutely adorable! Nolan especially is very into Halloween. He picked out the little tombstone that said "Don't laugh, you're next" because he thought it was hilarious haha.

And here's what we did on the outside. The boys loved helping pick out these decorations too!

   

The skeleton guy on the left was Nolan's favorite.

 

 Branson was Kanan Jarrus from Star Wars Rebels and it was so cute how he would tell everyone who he was. Nolan was the Grand Inquisitor, also from Rebels. It's the same costume he was last year and mom and dad weren't complaining!

Fall Fun and Pumpkin Carving 

Aunt Mallory has been living in Utah for the past few months while taking some courses. It was so great to have her over for some fall fun!

 Nolan loved taking the "guts" out - as long as his hands didn't get too messy hehe

Trick or Treating at Gp Bailey's Work 

 Darth Vader was there! Nolan was SO excited, and Branson was too until he got in the same room with him. Then he didn't want anything to do with him!

Halloween Night 

 

 

October

Gm Mathews got the boys this cute Scooby Doo lamp for their room.

 These adorable Star Wars bath toys we brought back from Disneyland have been a hit!

I love Bran-man's outfit for school dropoff :)

Not gonna lie, I was pretty proud that my boys were looking at books in the store instead of screens.

Nolan was looking at a "scary" haunted house book and Branson kept turning around and patting Nolan's head and saying, "Don't worry, I'll keep you safe. I'll protect you."

We did a really fun family night to learn about putting on the whole armor of God and, needless to say, it was a hit with these two! 

Their mad faces.

They are always so cute when they fall asleep at Gm and Gp Bailey's house

It usually takes a lot of leg pulling to get Nolan to read to anyone but daddy, and especially not to Branson. But this morning before church he read to him, unprompted, for a good 20 min! It was so sweet and made my heart melt!!

Beautiful view at the pumpkin patch

Nolan tried out Karate! I really think it will be good for him, but with a baby coming soon and 2 birthdays and Christmas it just really wasn't a good time. So we might try again in the new year. I can't believe how expensive it is though! We'll see.

Excited for the first snow of the year!

Nolan did great at his primary program. I always have people coming up to me telling me how cute he is. Also, we've noticed that Nolan doesn't really like singing unless he's confident that he knows all of the words, so we printed out the words to each of the songs on cards for his primary program for him. I think it worked because he sang all of the songs!

I should note that Justin and I have been teaching Nolan's class for the last 6 months or so and have really enjoyed it. There are 6 girls and Nolan 🙂 and the way they have it set up this year means that some of the girls are turning 7 this year! Still, it's been a great class with such sweet kids.

We got a new game called Sleeping Queens and Nolan is obsessed! It's such a great game. Honestly, I even love it!

Nolan wanted some alone time so he went in the office and read for probably 20 min ♥

First Dentist Visit

I finally got my butt in gear and took the boys to the dentist. Nolan was amazing! I was seriously so surprised with how well he did. He got right up in the chair and let them stick the tools in his mouth.

Branson on the other hand...was NOT a fan of the dentist. It took a good 5-10 min just to get him in the chair and all she did was brush his teeth. Then another 5-10 min and lots of crying just to let the dentist count his teeth haha. But he did it and I'm proud of both of them.

They were pretty excited about the goody bags and balloons though!
