I think the colder weather is here to stay - that means I probably need to dig the warmer clothes out and put the flip flops away :(   Thinking about tackling that job today (so far just thinking, not doing).  The boys will be here later this afternoon to spend the night  - something to look forward to!

Photo Sunday - Hudson loves to decorate for Halloween so on Friday we went pumpkin shopping and then got started on some outdoor decorations.  

Hudson and I are up early and just hanging out waiting for Ethan to wake up.  He's usually the first one up, but he must be tired, he's sleeping in this morning.  I think the plan is to go to Get Air this morning.  Not sure what adventure we will think of after that!  

Have a wonderful day!
