October Phone Dump

Fall is my favorite.

Carver's 4th Fun Run! (So darn cute holding that flag, even though he tucked in his t-shirt and his shorts are pulled up way high...reason unknown, but this is not how he left the house that morning, I promise).

This kid LOVES to run. This is one of the highlights of his school year.

Walking the dog, Felix comes flying out of the bushes with a live snake in his mouth. No. No. No.

Then, later the same day, he finds another snake and wanders around with it. NO NO NO. Bad kitty.

Carver's landforms diorama. I was so proud of how hard he worked and I think it turned out great.

On a field trip. (Not gonna lie, this field trip was painfully boring. I was dying. DYING.)

Celebrating Daddy's birthday at "the fancy place." (It's a Brazilian steakhouse. The boys love it so much) 

Dress up day at Awana.

Carson's field trip to the Vance Birthplace.

Family book club!

Felix went missing for THIRTY-SIX hours. I was convinced he was gone forever because I knew he would have come home if he was able to. Turns out he was stranded on a neighbor's roof. I just happened to hear him meowing when I was out walking Bentley-- in the same area I had been looking for Felix all this time. I was praying so hard that he would be found and this was a total act of God and I am so grateful. We love this cat so much.

When the boys got home from school they were so relieved that Felix was back!

Bentley loves and adores Felix. 

Halloween lunch. I will be so sad when they are too old to think themed lunches are cool.

Character dress-up day at school. And I am pretty sure that he has now worn this "costume" three times.

Character dress-up day for Carver too-- he was Jack from the Magic Treehouse series.

Halloween Gingerbread House.

Dinner and trick-or-treating with friends! One of my favorite nights of the year.

Our first ever attempt at a whole-family themed halloween. We were Marvel characters.

Trying to get a picture of Bentley in his Marvel shirt...

it was hard...

very hard...

Success! Kind of.

Carver wanted in on the puppy pics.
