Last night (Monday) Hap and I went to the Colts vs. Texans game at Lucas Oil Stadium!! I have wanted to go but never wanted to spend the money or had the opportunity. Well, an opportunity came about yesterday and literally childcare came through at 6:15pm and at 7:15 we headed downtown to the game!! After being frisked by security, grabbing a pretzel, we headed to our seats to watch our (well my) Colts beat the Texans!! We enjoyed cheering right along with everyone and rooting on this great team! Here Peyton Manning is getting ready to launch a TD pass:) One thing that was really special last night was Coach Tony Dungy getting into the ring of fame at Lucas Oil Stadium. They had a special presentation during halftime where players gave tribute to the great coach. The best thing was hearing Tony Dungy say "I give praise to the Lord for the opportunity to coach." What a testimony and this is what all Christians should be doing everyday, giving glory to the Lord for everything ...

Bathtime in such fun, especially when you have a brother! ( Don't mind their seriously dirty faces, that is why bathtime was at 5:30 tonight!!)

So, we had a change of plans tonight. I was called off work and was able to spend the evening at home. Since Sam's cowboy costume was in the wash, he decided to dress up in his fireman coat and go trick or treating to some neighbors. Here is the fireman himself... We only went to a couple houses, basically the people in know in the neighborhood. And when we arrived home and had our bath Sam handed out candy to the people who came to our door. He was pretty generous with the candy and I think everyone was appreciative:)

Yesterday we had a full day! In the morning, we did somethings around home and then met Hap's Aunt Sally for lunch. She was in town for shopping and we grabbed lunch together. We had a nice time but I am disappointed I forgot my camera at home. We were so thrilled to catch up with her and hope she comes back shopping soon (or just comes back over!) Last night we attended Zoo Boo! It was a perfectly chilly fall night and the animals were crazy (and I'm not just talking about the kids!!) The cheetahs and lions were roaming around, the two rhinos were fighting and the elephants were taking a bath, it was fun. The boys and I met up with Laura Cave, her son John and her mom. The boys really weren't into having their pictures taken last night. Andrew wanted down to dance to the Monster Mash that was blaring and Sam wanted to roll in the hay of the hay maze:) And Andrew definitely wasn't feeling the hat haha! Still cute cowboys in my eyes:) Sam and John had fun toge...

Tonight, we went to Trunk or Treat at Sam's school! I took a couple pictures, but will take more tomorrow when we go to the Zoo Boo! Meet Cowboy Sam, notice his work glove in his back pocket:) Casey and Maena came over for Trunk or Treat. Sam has been so excited all day about Maena coming over. He wanted to hold his hand and have him spend the night!! Maena was the cutest construction worker I saw tonight!!! (I joked that they could be part of the Village People haha) And little cowboy Andrew. I'll get some better pictures of his outfit tomorrow night, he wasn't in the mood today! The kids received lots of candy and had a really fun time. Happy Trunk or Treat:)

Just wanted to give my blog readers a quick update on Sam's leg. He was supposed to have a Dr's appointment tomorrow but after he was in pain this morning, I changed it to today. We saw the Dr and he ordered another x-ray. His tibia is broken about half way down in left leg. Bone has already started to grow back, which is a good thing. The amount of bone he regenerated in three weeks would take an adult 8-12 weeks. So, the Dr didn't cast it but wants him to faithfully wear the boot cast for two more weeks. I am so thankful that we know for sure and it can be healed. I prayed this verse for a friend this week and thought it applied here too! God is so good to comfort us with His Word. Get in the Bible today, friend! "Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven. Let them...
