End of Fall Soccer Season

Today was Emily's last soccer game of the fall season. All of the grandparents and Aunt Sissy came out to help us cheer her on. Grandma and Grandpa Simon even brought along Madison and Matthew!
Before the game we had a picnic lunch and some play time at the park.
Grandpa was in charge of Matthew for the day... no doubt they will both sleep well tonight... especially Grandpa!
GO PINK LIGHTNING!!!!
Cheerleaders, Madison...
and Megan!
The Team Huddle!

It's all about the TROPHY!!!
Great Team Picture!


Happy Halloween!

We had such a blast this Halloween and the weather could not have been more perfect! The only flaw was that poor Wayne had a broken foot. He was able to do quite a bit of trick-or-treating, but couldn't hold out for as long as the girls wanted... so he went home and we continued a bit longer.

Megan's Bumble Bee Pose
We were so excited to start Halloween that we had are costumes on well before night fall. So the girls ran a few races to pass the time. Of course, Bat Girl won over Bumble Bee every time... even with the late start! :)
Candy, candy, candy!!!

After trick-or-treating, we drove over to trick-or-treat at one last house... Granmama and Daddy D's!

We then went out for a late Tex-Mex dinner! It was such a great night... I wish Halloween was always on a Friday!

Megan's Class Halloween Party

Megan was pretty excited to wear her costume to school for their Halloween Party! The school also had a Fall Fest with a bounce house, games and face painting... but I only came for the last hour of the classroom party.
After enjoying pizza and cupcakes, the kids got to wrap each other up like mummies! Megan didn't want to be a mummy that day. :(
Then the kids got to wrap Ms. Randi and Ms. Tonya!
They got to make cute little finger puppets too!

Crazy Hair Day

While I was away in California, Emily had Crazy Hair Day at school. Wayne did a great job... she absolutely loved her hair! If you'd like to book an appointment with him, give us a call! :)

Big Orange Pumpkin Farm

Today Emily had a day off from school... so we took advantage of it! Aunt Sissy came to visit and we spent the afternoon at the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm in Celina.

Watch out for those goats...
They don't have a problem stealing food from you!

How Tall this Fall?

It always takes quite a while to find the perfect pumpkin!

We love to find Farmer Rick's kitties!

Woodhaven Halloween Party

This weekend our neighborhood, Woodhaven, celebrated Halloween with a fun little party! The girls were excited to have the opportunity to wear their costumes several days before trick-or-treating!
I volunteered to set up and run the Smartie Suck-Up Game. Little did I know, this was one of the most popular games... so at times it became a bit overwhelming to both run the game and gives the girls the attention they were demanding! Wayne did not attend so luckily a fellow neighbor relieved me for a while so I could walk around with the girls and enjoy the party.

The kids got to show off their costumes in the Parade!
Pin the Wart on the Witch!
Cute Photo Ops!

As we were wrapping up the party, we were trying to get rid of all the candy... that's when the girls jumped in to save the day!
Treat Walk
The kids wouldn't let the Treat Walk end until all the treats had been won... so it was still going on after everything else had been cleaned up! :)
