Leaf Fun

**Multiple posts tonight...like 4!***

What happens when the kids see the leaves piled near the road waiting for leaf pick up day?  They can't stay away.  Since it was bath night and all, I went ahead and said okay and have fun.  And of course, let me grab the camera.  They are ready for Dad to play and throw them again like last year!

Pumpkin Patch

We took advantage of a nice Saturday before Halloween and headed to the pumpkin patch.  It is always a fun outing.

Is this my husband???

Tommy went all out for Halloween this year.  Jack wanted to know, "Where did he find hair?"

Halloween Fun

I got the chance to spend Halloween morning with the kids at the class parties.  They were sooo excited that I got to come too.  They had a ball with their costume parade, fun snacks, and Halloween games/crafts.  Fun memories were made.

It was freezing and rainy here on Halloween.  Not really the ideal situation for Trick or Treating.  But come on, it is once a year and I wasn't about to tell these two that I didn't feel like walking around in the cold rain.

Ready to hit the streets

We've spent the last couple of Halloweens with our neighbors.  It always makes for a fun night.  This year we had 2 new additions...Blake and Mason.  They were not as thrilled to be in costume.

Zoom in to see the red noses and cheeks!  Big gloves and hats too!

It's that time of year...again

Ok, ok....I'm not a fan of school fundraisers.  if it isn't one thing, it is another.  Well, it is cookie time again.  Here are my campaigners.  Let me know if you are interested.  I need orders my November 2nd.  Any support would be great.  I do have to admit that the cookies are great and the dough is wonderful.  I think I am addicted to cookie dough!

Here's an online link to the brochure with selections....

Biltmore trip....with no KIDS

Tommy and I got the chance to take a nice trip (with no kids!) to the Biltmore in Asheville, NC.  We had a great time and beautiful weather.  We even got some nice pictures together.  Thanks Mom and Dad for keeping the kids.  They keeping asking when they can stay with Grammy, Grandpa, and Murphy again.  Soon, very soon!  Hopefully you guys are willing to do it again.  We REALLY appreciated it!!

Finishing Soccer Season

Jack was so sad his soccer season was over. Here was his last game and award ceremony.  Caroline was quite the supporter for each game.  I think she'll be ready to play next season.

Cooling Daddy off with her fan

This is what happens when you get the fan too close to your hair...
