Trick or Trunk

Salem had their Trick or Trunk event tonight - Lucy has been excited for weeks! The weather was not so great but it was a really fun evening for the kids and there was a great turnout! I expected just our own kids and maybe a few of their friends but there were a lot of kids there that I had never seen before!

Charlie and Alex - known  for the evening as Ernie and Bert!

Don't you just love those chunky little cheeks??

Alex was not a fan of the hat. . .

 

The boys were both fascinated by Daddy's cow hat though - look at those wide eyes! 

They sat and stared at that hat for quite a while!

Lucy was excited that she and Daddy both started with the letter "C" - cat and cow!

The Flack children

Lucy was very excited to be a black cat

Lucy and her friend, Megan

The first group of kids. . another wave showed up about 5 minutes after this

Listening intently to Mrs. Darlene - ready to party!

See the word "Boo" on her ghost plate? Yeah, Lucy wrote that herself!

How awesome is my kid? :)

Playing Bingo. . . one of her favorite parts of the evening

They had a center downstairs where you stick your hand in bowls and feel different things. Lucy's face in this picture pretty much sums up her feelings about it. ;) Oh well, in a few years she'll love that kind of thing!

All the kids came through in a "Costume Parade" and got their candy. When we got home and asked Lucy what her favorite part was, she said, "When they said 'Little Cat' and I got to walk in the room". . .this child loves being the center of attention!

 A bag full of candy makes for a happy 3 year old!

Charlie and Alex slept through all the fun . . . 

A visit to High Point

The twins took their first visit to High Point last week. The Flack family loaded up the car and headed down the mountain to spend the week with family. On our way, we stopped in Statesville to visit "Great Mommy" and "Great Daddy." (That's what Lucy calls them.)

We took Lucy to Putt Putt - she actually made it through all 18 holes!

Lucy was a little overwhelmed by all the noise from the games inside. . .

Lucy enjoyed having Uncle Lattie's undivided attention on Saturday

Uncle Lattie finally got to hold Alex

Charlie loved his snuggle time with Aunt Nae

We had such a fun week with family, just being together. Lucy loved getting to play with her cousin, Harper and the boys enjoyed getting to snuggle with anyone and everyone who would hold them. Michael and I even got to have a date night as well as a little extra sleep. The week flew by and before we knew it, it was time to come back home. We are already looking forward to Thanksgiving so we can all be together again!

Then and now

Look how much the boys have grown since those first few weeks in the NICU. :)

What the boys are up to. . .

Here are a few pictures off of my phone. . . I may be biased, but these are the cutest boys ever! :)

Charlie is learning to smile :)

 Charlie is going to be Ernie for Halloween

And Alex is going to be Bert

Or maybe we'll be Thing 1 and Thing 2

And proof that these really are the cutest boys you'll ever see. . .
