Happy Halloween




















Well, we seem to be over the H1N1 and
ready for some Halloween fun. Joey is Spengler, a ghostbuster. Angel is Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus.













You can see Patrick in the back of the first picture. He has terrified both kids with that mask, jumping out of dark rooms. Both of them have been in my arms crying from the incidents. He promised today is the last day (Thank Goodness).




We will be keeping it simple, just a small amount of Trick-or-Treating then we will hang at home and pass out the candy.

Halloween Stuff


It's that time of year again. The time for the carving of pumpkins and the throwing of goo. At least that's what happened this year. Patrick thought it would be fun to rub the slimy pumpkin guts on the kids.



Of course my nature tells me to reprimand but when Patrick continued his festivities I finally decided to join in. I grabbed a handful of slimy, stringy, seed filled pumpkin guts and threw it into his face, then of course I kept my distance to avoid retaliation. The pumpkins ended up turning out but they are already in a slump on the porch. The weather has been up and down and so the jack-o-lanterns have been scorched then nearly frozen repeatedly for a week.




Another fun festivity that is quick becoming a tradition is our visit to the Scarecrow Festival.



For the second year we enjoyed spending time with the Arnolds and we were joined by the Marshall's this year we had a great time. We missed the Rhoton Family though.


The kids made rockets and shot them off repeatedly. We jumped and played on all the bouncers, rode cars and just hung out.

Joey loved trying to aim kettle corn into Mrs. Marshall's mouth, one of the highlights of his day. It was good times! I hope we do it again next year.

Angel's First Field Trip

Angel went on her first field-trip a couple weeks ago. Just like Joey's kindergarten class they went to the Gateway Discovery Museum.












It was a lot of fun. I had a small group of three young ladies to keep my eyes on. Angel of course was an absolute ham the whole day. She loved it.
