Excited for Halloween

Matthew and Micah are so excited about Halloween and they have no idea what it even is. For family night last week, we put up our Halloween decorations. Dalin got real excited and was running around the

house trying to decide what to be this year. The twins got so silly just sensing how excited Dalin was. They knew there was something fun about the pumpkins and skeletons, even though they don't understand Halloween.

Then, my friend Lisa came over with her daughter and nieces and we made spider hats and jack-o-lanters. This week for family night, we painted pumkins and glued jack-o-lantern faces on them. Bryan is u

sually lucky enough to miss our painting projects but last night he got to help the babies with their pumpkins. It was fun to watch him paint with the boys. So now, we are off to find costumes for the kids. Dalin wants to be something scary but I'm hoping to keep him mild enough that he doesn't scare his brothers. Finding costumes for the twins will be harder, I'm sure. Hopefully we can find something they don't mind putting on. Happy Halloween!

Dalin

Dalin is the biggest brother. He is in 3rd grade, gets good grades, and loves to read. Since he turned 8 in July, he was baptized and started Cub Scouts, too. He loves to draw and really wants to learn to play the guitar. He stays busy with his friends and loves to ride his bike. He has even started riding it to school most days. He loves being a big brother and showing off the twins but will also be the first to tell you that his little bothers drive him absolutely crazy. The stories he tells at school are hilarious and, of course, very exaggerated by the time they get back to us.

Matthew

Matthew is the older of the twins, well, older by one minute. He is always interacting with one of us. He asks me every morning if his friends are coming over and will wait by the window if they are. He loves to dance for you, but doesn’t always want you to join him and will tell you, “No. Sit down.” He absolutely loves animals and has enjoyed our new bunny. He is very curious about his world and gets into trouble a lot as he tries to be independent. He burned his hand on the stove, got his head trapped under a bed at Grandmas, and ate an entire cake for lunch one day. Yes, the ENTIRE cake, and didn’t even make a mess!

Micah

Micah is the youngest and has a heart of gold! He is very quiet and keeps to himself. He is very happy when he is at home with his things, surrounded by the people he loves. He reads to himself all day long and counts everything he sees. He can even count in Spanish, thanks to Dora and Diego. He loves to line things up and put them into categories. His little mind is always working as he figures out his world and the looks he gets on his face prove it. He saw the ocean in June for the first time and couldn’t get enough. The water was freezing and he was shivering, but he kept running and running with the waves.
