Playing at the Park
This was obviously written on 10/31, but I never got pictures put into it so I never published.
Saturday night, I finished up at the event I had for Mac Kid and this time the kids came as participants.
Matt entered them into the costume contest under "Most Original." We had it in the bag, until the unsuspecting "Recycle Bin" who, by the way, was super cute, entered last minute. We did win crowd favorite though! When Matt introduced the kids and their costumes, the whole bleachers went "Awwww!"
On Monday, we took the kids to our new-old (It's new because, we just moved in, but it's sort of old because our townhouse is only around the corner about 3 blocks away, so this really is our old neighborhood too) neighborhood for Trick or Treating.
They were actually pouring our driveway on Halloween.
When we came back from Trick or Treating we put the kid's hand prints in the cement in the dark. It was very funny and something I will never forget. Especially because the guys were still there working and they kept smoothing it out because Parker kept scrunching her fingers.
Lane loved it this year just as much as last year. He did pick which houses he wanted to go to though. He wasn't a fan of the "scary" ones.
Parker was content in her stroller snacking on her black bean quesadilla! If she only knew what was going in her brother's bag. :-)
The pictures from Boo at the Zoo are less than impressive. Haha! But we did have a good time. I can't help but laugh at the pics. Totally captured the night!
This would be the last picture of the night...notice not one person is looking at the camera.
Love him!
I don't think the monkey really tries to bite The Mat with the Yellow Hat in real life...
She is pretty cute, but she's a stinker!
And let's face it...the real reason we go to Boo at the Zoo is for the pizza and libations at the Dodd's house afterwards! Late night, but good times had by all!
It's been a while since we've visited the train table. I think Parker was a tiny new born. It wasn't really on "the agenda" today, but after dragging my babies to resolve a lighting issue at the house this morning, I could hardly say no to Lane when we drove by and he said "Trains! I want to go play with the train table!" So I whipped a quick turn around and we made a pit stop. Besides...we :saying this in a whisper: had to go to the tile store later. I'm whispering that because I say that everyday to my kids and they both immediately start to whine.
If I told ya'll that I have been at a tile store (and sometimes 2 different ones in one day) everyday this week I would not be exaggerating. I swore 2 weeks ago that "THIS was the last time I would be stepping in a tile store," because I had been in a tile store everyday that week, I unfortunately was lying to myself. Ugh! I can't tell you my frustration with tile stores. Moving on....
Trains...my boy?...he likes them!
My girl?...not so much into the train table.
Much more interested in crawling around...
and reading.
Okay, who am I kidding? The girl won't sit through the first page of a book. I think she just picked it up at the right moment as I snapped the picture...I was happy it was Barbie because these days she's like crawling around the house ramming tractors into the wall (with a tutu on mind you) and making blow-up sounds and pointing her fingers at me. Do you think I should be worried?!
Every year St Matthews (Lane's school) has a pumpkin patch on their front lawn. It's so neat to see. Lane was very excited to check out the pumpkins!
Ale
Cupcakes
Candle
The A/C has been turned off for the first time since March! Yippee!! In anticipation of this momentous occasion called FALL, we've been preparing with some crafts.
Fall Trees
(Lanes' is the bigger one.) Parker was mad when I would hold her hand so her "crafting" didn't last too long. But now every time I show her, her masterpiece she makes her hand print on it. (I think she secretly liked it, even though she was trying to bite my hand so I would let go when I was trying to paint it.)
We paint in our undies 'round here.
He continued to paint a masterpiece after he was done.
Halloween bow...that she doesn't keep on. :-) (She's nekkid from the painting debacle)
Wreaths. (Made with love for under $15 total!)
October Fall Flashback! (She was probably about 3-4 weeks old.)
