Happy Birthday Mommy!

On this day in 1979, this little lady was brought into our world.  We are glad she was.

Happy Birthday Lindsey!

Friday Phone Dump

Happy Friday!  This has been one of "those" weeks for the Mills Family.  All 4 of us came down with the flu and it knocked us all down and out for a few days.  Which means, long week and weak tummies, but also very few photos for this post :(


1. Making a mess
2. Dinner with mom
3. This kid loves his thumb and his giraffe blanket
4. Drinking from a straw


Have a great weekend!

Our Halloween Weekend

Our Halloween Weekend began on Friday with the boys, aka Diego and Baby Jaguar, off to school with their "Ghost Poop" treats for their classmates  That evening, we enjoyed some fun festivities at Walnut Woods State Park Lodge with some friends and lots of little ghost and goblins, followed by some bouncy house and slide fun at our church's Family Fun Night.





Saturday morning we danced, ate yummy food, and went on a hunt for ghosts with friends.  The boys were in Halloween heaven as we returned home for some much needed naps.





Saturday night we dropped off our Diego and Baby Jaguar at Nana and Papa's while we enjoyed a (as Jack says) "Mommy and Daddy" party as The SWAT Team.  Get it?  :)


 
Finally, Beggar's Night arrived and our cast of characters hit up the neighborhood to fill our buckets with candy and other sweet treats.  After an hour, Jack's bucket was too heavy to carry, so we found our way home for some long baths and a few more scary, spooky bedtime stories :)


Halloween 2011 was full of fun and great memories!  Can't wait for the rest of the upcoming holiday season!
