Get Some...

...don't ask, the soccer girls and Brad always say that now, and part of this post is about them.

We will start with the beginning of the week. On Monday night, we had our friends Natalie and Mark over playing games and we got a knock on our door. We walked out to see this...
Hannah had carved pumpkins with some soccer girls and they decided to leave this by our door. Now they know where we live...awesome. It was pretty funny. Donovan still says, "ewwww, gross" whenever we pass it.

On Tuesday, Donovan and I took off for the zoo. I was going to make Brad come with us so we could use our train tickets, but found out they had expired, so we let him go to work. It was the perfect day to go. It was a little breezy and cool, but nice!
Donovan loved kicking the leaves on the ground and watching the wind catch them. I don't blame him, I still love playing in crunchy leaves!
We also went the the IWCC Halloween Party on Tuesday evening, but I forgot my camera. I felt horrible, he looked so cute and had a good time but was ready to be home, it was a long day and he didn't have his nap!

On Thursday, we celebrated Hannah's birthday, the big 2-2! You're so big Hannah. The boys did a good job blowing out the candles for her. Donovan learned how to say "Happy Birthday" and it was really cute. Notice how he doesn't have pants on...he thought his pants needed some lotion on them. He was being really quiet in Mason's room so I went to check on him and he was dumping Addi's baby lotion all over his pants and on the floor. It was a fun mess. His pants still smell like baby lotion after washing them.


Yesterday was the big day! We went to a baby shower in the morning and he kept telling me he wanted to see the fish, so to pass the time we went to Bass Pro Shops and saw the fish. They had fun Halloween activities going on, so Donovan decided to make a mask. He mostly just wanted to dump the glitter all over the place.
He was so ready to go trick or treating! We started around 6:30 and both boys lasted until after 7:30! I was impressed.
He loved the concept of mooching candy off people! And he's so good at mooching already, it was like every day x100 for him, he loved it.
After a while, he gave up on saying trick or treat and just stared people down until he got his candy and then he helped them shut their doors...he's so polite. Mason was awesome. He started telling everyone, "I'm Volvovine from X-Men." It was the highlight of the night.
Today we made the trip to Des Moines to see the men and women in the Region XI finals. The men lost 2-1 and the women won 3-1! Congrats to Brad on his first Region title as a head coach!! Now they need to get through Districts and then they will be on to Nationals!! It's so exciting, but stressful at the same time.

The boys did a pretty good job, but it took some weird things to keep them entertained.
Cute boys.
REGION CHAMPS!!!The coaches with their plaque...so awesome! Way to go Reivers!!!And now I'm exhausted, good night.
