Happy Halloween

Halloween fell on a Saturday this year so Jeff was able to be around to participate in the fun. His job has always been the pumpkin carving because I don't like the slimy inside.





All ready to go Trick or Treating.  Had to stop over at Ariana's house first. 

We went over to Karyn's neighborhood so the kids could all Trick or Treat together.  We had quite the crew. 

Brody and Dylan


A few houses went all out in the decor department 

We might have trick or treated too long considering that the kids could barely carry their bags by the end of the night.  There were several King Sized candy bars in that mix.  Our dentist office has a candy buy back program and the kids made $20 off of their 10 lbs. of candy! 

Family Time

October is flying by.  We've been busy with family things, school, and friends.
A rare family dinner all together at once.  Most nights, Harper is at cross country practice so she eats before she leaves and then again after she gets home. 

Pep Rally fun at Marcus. The football team only lost one game this year and is headed into the playoffs.  

Home made snow cones for after school snack.  

On Friday of red ribbon week the theme was "The Greatest Show on Earth"  so Harper wanted to dress up like a clown.  It was also pouring down rain that day so rain boots were added into the mix.  

We love our Ring Leader (Principal), Mrs. Mattingly.  

My friend Karyn and I have started trading out baby sitting and date nights.  We had her three kids over for dinner and play time while she and Steve went out on a date.  

Cross country practice on a rainy Saturday morning.  

The YMCA had a little fall festival on Halloween that I took the kids to.

Another Week

Harper had Red Ribbon week at school and every day was a different themed day.  Monday was Dress like a Tourist Day.

While Harper is at school, the boys and I have enjoyed getting out and enjoying the Fall weather.  

Exploring the trails

Lego time while little brother is napping.  

Safety First 

I can't keep up with them anymore just walking.  I have to run.

We took of Miss Harper's training wheels and she took off immediately.  She has done great without them.  

Pumpkin Patch

We made our annual trip to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch which is just down the road.  I was hoping that it would cool down a bit before went but it was still pretty toasty the afternoon that we went.  Mimi came along on the ride.












The bounce houses and slides are the boys favorites.
