Miracle League and Trick or Treat

A little back story...... my dear friend, Mike Schilling, is a coach for the Miracle League.  The Miracle League is a sports league for handicap children and adults.  They participate in sports all year long, playing baseball, basketball and football. 

This past Thursday, they had the Miracle League Seminole Showdown, where members of Florida State's baseball and softball teams came and played against the Miracle League players.  My friend Mike invited the kids and me and we had a great time.  The players signed autographs, the Chick-Fil-A cows came and the FSU Marching Chiefs came and played a few songs for us.

It was an honor to go to the Seminole Showdown.  We had a great time and it reminded us how much we have to be thankful for.  It was overall an amazing experience and I hope that we get to go to another one of their games.

Next up was Halloween weekend.  We started the weekend with going to a Halloween party that our friends, the platoon boys, were throwing.  We had a blast.  We do not go out that much, and it is really nice to be able to when we do.  The boys were in their usual form and definitely did not let us down!

We had a great time!  I did not take too many pictures, and these were about as much as I was willing to post.  They behaved fine and had a great turn out!

The next day we attended Trunk or Treat at our church, Canopy Roads Baptist.  It was so much fun.  This was Connor's first time where he sort of knew what was going on.

We had such a wonderful time.  The boys loved it.... the little games added excitement to the trunk or treating.  The boys ( and the parents) were exhausted after the event.  We went home, made an easy dinner, ate some candy and went to bed.

Oh, to sleep like a baby again.  He looks so snuggly.... and if you look closely, he is sleeping on top of his "baby."  I love taking pictures of my kids while they are sleeping.  They remind me that they really are sweet and innocent!  Haha!
