Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

My two precious giraffes!
LOVE this outtake! I swear Connor was not hitting Erin here...she started to fall over and he was trying to help catch her. Sure does look funny, doesn't it? :)

On our way to Zoo Boo...Trick or Treating at the Indianapolis Zoo

Trick or Treating at Meme and Pops'

BFFs!!!!!

You will note that Connor is no longer a giraffe, but a dinosaur! THANK GOD for Aunt Kate...we were at their home eating dinner prior to Trick or Treating and Connor got a little caught up in the excitement and forgot to tell us he needed to go potty. Again, THANK GOD Aunt Kate had an extra costume and Connor was all about being a dinosaur when he saw it. PHEW...crisis averted! :)

Jack, Olivia, Patrick, Connor, Maggie and Katie

All the kiddos (and Erin) ready to go get some candy!

Connor's Family Birthday Celebration

Connor followed up his fun Friday with a great family birthday party on Saturday. Here are some pictures from the party and from his birthday weekend...again, in a random order (I don't have time to move things around to put them in the right order...I am lucky I am even getting this post done! :)).

Thanks to all our friend and family for making Connor's third birthday FANTASTIC!

Connor's Third Birthday at Monkey Joe's

Connor had a great third birthday weekend! He started off his birthday celebration with his friend party at a bounce place here in Indy called Monkey Joe's. He LOVES it here and had a great time at his party.

We did have a small mishap when we first arrived (and we arrived about 30 minutes before the party started) as Connor jumped off of a slide and hurt his arm, so he refused to play on anything until the last 20 minutes of the party. Kind of funny since he loves it at Monkey Joe's, but I guess so is life with a three year old! :)

Here are some pictures in a TOTALLY random order!

Grandpa Tom's Birthday

What a wonderful weekend we had at the Murphy home! My brother, Julia and Griffin came down for a visit and to meet sweet Erin! We were able to celebrate Grandpa Tom's birthday and it was so much fun to see Connor and Griffin playing so well together!

Singing Happy Birthday and helping Grandpa Tom blow out his candles

How cute is Griffin?
Griffin was ALL ABOUT his older cousin and would just follow him around trying to do what he did all weekend. This is a perfect look from Grif as he looks up to Connor!
