Happy Halloween!!

Yesterday we decided we should carve a pumpkin in preparation for trick or treat tonight! Keagan chose a stencil with two ghosts, or "GO" as Kohen calls them! We headed outside and got to work!

Two Ghosts! 

Kohen was a little hesitant when it came time to scoop out the pumpkin guts! Keags on the other hand was inside the house gagging and WOULD NOT come back outside until the guts were thrown away!! 

Tracing the stencil! 

Rouse explained to the boys that carving pumpkins is so much easier now then when he was a kid!

Someone lost interest after about 5 minutes and decided riding his bumper car was more exciting!

The finished product!! Great work boys! 

Crazy kids!!

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween!!

Family Picture

The other day Keagan wanted to draw me a picture so we got out the paper and markers and he sat down at the kitchen table and got to work! He didn't want me to look at his picture until he was finished. When he called me over to the table this is what I saw...

The Rouse Family!

He proudly told me who each person was and then informed me we all have boogers in our noses! Can't you see them??!! Hopefully he didn't inherit my artistic abilities!!

Sock Hop

First of many mother son dances took place last night.  Keagan and Kristen took to the dance floor last night in their 50's attire with friends Nathan and Shannon.  I think the ladies got a little more into costume than the boys.

I tried to roll a pack of marlboro reds in his sleeves, just didn't seem appropriate at 4 years old.

These two were ready to dance before they got there.

The boys and their dates.  Be home by 8:00!

Some serious choreography going on here.

I got the moves like Jagger!

"Nathan, I'll watch the front, while you spike the punch!"

Overall the boys had a great time cuttin a rug with their moms.  How many more years will that last?  Enjoy the video below.

I laugh every time I see the premeditated pocket move at the end.

Rouse Wrestle Mania!!

 Rouse had been out of town for 5 days and the boys and I really missed him. We stayed busy with school, soccer, the gym, parks, school festivals, and everyday routine type stuff! Last night we were all able to sit down for a yummy homemade lasagna dinner(made by yours truly) and then finished the night with an all out wrestling match! These boys are tough I tell you! It makes me a nervous wreck and I always pray we don't end up in the ER, but they have a blast! Just see for yourself! 

Thanks blogging police, (i.e. the guy in the middle of this picture) for reminding me to update the blog!! 

We sure missed you and are glad you are home! xoxo
