Halloween Books

One of our favorite ways to celebrate a holiday or season is with books. I think it's a great way to build anticipation, and learn more about the holiday. Although Halloween it's my favorite holiday, I still enjoy celebrating it and making memories with my kids. That being said I am not into the blood and creepy side of the holiday, I'm pretty picky about our Halloween books and videos, so all of our top picks are pretty G rated.

 Little Blue Truck's Halloween is new to our collection this year, but it is in the top 5 because of the cute story line an fun flaps to lift.

 This is a simple board book, but it has a fun little twist that made my boys giggle. It's super sweet and perfect for littles.

 This is a funny story with the beloved characters from the Click, Clack, Moo story. 

 I avoided this book at first just because it had a witch, and like I said I avoid most of the "dark" parts of Halloween, but it is a really fun read. There is a dragon and a witch, but it has never bothered my boys.

This silly book is so fun, I love how it really cracks my boys up!!!

So there are our top 5! I love adding books to our collection...it's a sickness, really. So...what are your favorite Halloween books?

Cancun

Chad and I had the opportunity to get away this month. Chad earned a free trip to Cancun based on his production last year, and it was fun to see him rewarded for his hard work. It was really hard to leave the boys behind, but I did manage to relax and have some fun.

Easter 2016

We enjoyed celebrating the precious sacrifice of our Savior again this year. We are very thankful for the opportunity to celebrate with Family and friends.

 MDO egg hunt

 Egg hunt at Papa and Grammy's Church

 Marhall's first egg hunt

 We were surprised to find snow on the ground when we woke up Easter morning. It had almost all melted by the time we got back from church, but that didn't stop the kids and uncles from having a snowball fight with what was left.

What a blessed season!

Trending: March

As usual it has been too long since I posted. I have been at this stay at home mom gig for nearly a year, and I am still trying to figure out how to organize myself and my day to get more done. I'm trying to find that loose structure for the day that will keep us busy and productive without feeling like a slave to a schedule. Always a work in progress...

For part of Spring Break we headed back to KS to spend some time with the cousins. Of course, we hit up the Zoo.

We also got to host Papa and Grammy for a short visit and a trip to the Nature center.

We also enjoyed some outside play and more hikes this month!

We also celebrated Easter this month, but since this post is jammed with photos already, that will have to be another post.
