October Fun 2010

So much happened in October. Here are just some random pictures of the month...

I do not like the idea of carving pumpkins at such a young age, so we PAINTED!

and here are the results! They were so proud of them, we displayed them on the front porch.

Meemaw sent tents for the 2 of them. They slept in them that same night!

MiaLuz fits so perfectly in it...

...Chris...not so much...lol

Adan has this habit of doing a push-up, trying to get the pacifier back into his mouth. Looks like he is bobbing for apples as he goes up and down, missing and then finally aiming correctly.

A bday gift for Mia. They had fun playing with it all. It's cute that she lets him fix her hair, she is too busy concentrating on putting the lipstick on!

Bday dress and boots from Meemaw

Chris has a friend who wears glasses, so he is into wearing them himself, even if they don't fit him.

I promise that wasn't on purpose...

Another dress from Meemaw

always posing....

Windsor Lake Trunk or Treat

Ready for their night of fun.

MiaLuz a ballerina, Chris BEN 10 (a new generation of superhero)

Miss Tylie, a MAD scientist, and Benjamin, Frankenstein, won best costume.

Don't ya just love the hair!?!

This year I wanted the kids to have something fun to do other than grab candy so I had them choose between 2 holes to put their hands in, to see which one had the candy. Some grabbed brains, some grabbed eyeballs, and some had their hand snatched at. I had just as much fun seeing them squirm! It was a big success.

I ended up having to put a towel over the holes because they were peaking....NO PEAKING!!! lol It was also used to clean up the hands after they touched the eyeballs...lol

Adan was a bat....and there he is starring at our bat that was flying round and round....He was very amused.

Chris decided that his original costume was a bit too much for the church party so we went through our Halloween costumes in the attic. Mom had about 3 costumes that she had bought just because they were on sale years ago, so we were able to use one for this occassion. Doesn't he look silly? and then he wore his boots, to make it even more hilarious!

We had no intention on taking the kids out Sunday evening for the actual Holloween trick or treating but we went ahead and had them give the candy instead. They had a great time standing watch and screaming out when they saw someone coming to the door.

They each waited anxiously with a hand full of candy to give to the trick or treaters...

Doesn't this little girl look like Ariseli? CRAZY!

We had a great weekend... BUSY, but FUN!

Edwards' Halloween Party

Every year we look forward to the Edwards Halloween Party. It's a great way to enjoy the festive spirit without having to worry about the kiddos. Thanks to all our friends that made the evening a night to remember!

I thought this was a cute idea. (ping pong ball and paddle) Chris told me to never make us wear a costume that had him stuck to my hip all night! lol

Charlie Brown and Lucy


We were "conscience"
for Halloween...it was fun to mess with everyone all night!

I made bloody toes....but they didn't look much like toes after they got moved around...but they were yummy! lol

The host, Heath Edwards and Matt Turek that dressed up as "Heath". Best costume of the night by far!

2nd place, Jen and Mike Watts...Let's just hope we DO NOT look that bad when we get old!

FUN with the gals!

"Conscience"

Chris' Field Trip to Fall Festival

I was able to join Chris and his class for their trip to the Fall Festival. It was so fun to see the excitement in all their faces. Chris as so proud to have Mommy there. He kept hugging me and telling me that he loved me and was so happy I was there with him. I was too....

I gave him my map and him and his friends used it to get us out of the LOOONG corn maze. (WAY too long, I think. It took us about 30 minutes to get through it all! YIKES!) Chris told me that he didn't want to do that again...Me either! lol

There was a mini maze outside of the original one. They liked that one much better!

His best friends...Don't you just love the diversity? lol

The so- called "hayride"...
picking pumpkin time

It was sprinkling the entire time we were out there so they had to go back to the school to have lunch instead of a picnic. But we had fun with the time that was given. I feel bad that I am not able to go to everything that the parents are invited to go to. Siblings are not allowed in most cases and since we are so far from family, it makes it difficult. I am blessed to have friends that will help me out with the kiddos so I am able to go to some of these field trips with Chris.

MiaLuz turns 3!

These past 2 weeks have been CRAZY for us! Besides all the hype with Halloween, Chris' field trips to the Fall Festival, and performances, our beautiful MiaLuz turned 3 years old. I cannot believe it. Time flies and I still consider her my little baby girl; I guess I always will...
After all the work I put into Chris' birthday at home, I opted to relieve myself from the additional stress and have it at Leapin' Lizard. This particular weekend was Time Out For Women, so none of the mother's were in town. A BIG thank you to all the Fathers who brought the kiddos to the party. We had a GREAT time!
There were way too many pictures to post so I put them in a slideshow...ENJOY!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Our playgroup met at the Pumpkin Patch last week. The weather couldn't have been better and the kids had a great time.

The pumpkin that they chose. I kept trying to get Mia to pick a bigger one, but I couldn't change her mind. She is tiny, and everything she does and picks is tiny. Too funny!

MiaLuz having a fit because she thought Miss Hannah was taking her pumpkin. Those two are something else! :)

Chris trying his hardest to pick it up.

The whole crew!

Story time...

The were listening so well... I was surprised!
