Halloween


October 31, 2012
Yes, I may be biased, but these kids have to be some of the cutest I have ever seen!!  We had a great Halloween trick or treating in our neighborhood and having some friends over for dinner after.  It was FREEZING but the kids still had fun and got plenty of candy.  Even Ivy was a trooper in the cold.

Seriously, does it get any cuter than this?

Drive through trick or treating.  We had to borrow some warmer gear as we went because this lady was so cold.Thanks to Kennedi for the coat and ear muffs!

Happy with his collection!

Lots of cute kids with a whole lot of candy.

Halloween Festivities

October 30, 2012
Haloween week never disappoints.  We went to a bunch of parties, collected more candy than anyone needs and had a ton of fun with our friends.  I think I enjoy Halloween as much as the kids!  There is just something about (kids:) dressing up and getting to party for a week that is so great.  

Ward Halloween Party
Our Neighborhood Halloween Parade



There is a fire truck that leads the parade and they let the kids climb on it afterwards.  There was some serious excitement over the whole thing!

Random...

October 29, 2012
Here is a post of random pictures...
Ivy enjoying her first taste of Olive Garden.  She got more breadstick on the floor than in her mouth, but she thoroughly enjoyed what made it in! 

It is always fun to go in Emery's room after she has fallen asleep and see what craziness she has been up to.  Asleep in her laundry basket. 
More night time antics...asleep dressed up in one of my workout tops that she got out of the laundry closet.  At least it was clean! 
It has gotten really cold the last couple of weeks (or rather it gets cold then warms up, back and forth!).  I forgot what a pain car seats and coats are.  Good thing the baby is cute no matter what!  Always so smiley. 
I got to volunteer at the kindergarten pumpkin day at Davis' school.  He was super excited I was there and it was so fun to see him in his school environment with his friends.  I had a really good time playing games with all the kids, too. Kindergartners are the best!

Best Friends

October 25, 2012
We had a little post gym lunch date at the Chick-fil-a with Cynthia and Kennedi.  Could these two be any cuter?!  They are the cutest little friends I have ever seen and just love to be together.  I love it!!

Crazy Hair Day

October 25, 2012
During Red Ribbon Week at school, Davis had his first crazy hair day.  I hate dressing up and it made me uncomfortable for him to send him off to school with crazy hair or socks, or whatever!  Silly, I know, because he thought it was so fun and had such a fun week.  I guess I will have to get over my own insecurities one way or another! 

Redneck Movie Night

September 21, 2012
We were supposed to go to the outdoor movie night at the zoo, but there was a rain forecast (it didn't end up raining, of course!).  We decided to have a movie night in our garage instead.  Steve laid out carpet from his work, we set up the projector, got some snacks, invited some friends and had a super fun night.  We felt a little redneck but it was a good time and the kids loved it!

Decorating Pumpkins

October 20, 2012
Autumn in Kentucky is SO Beautiful!  I took this picture on our way home a couple of days ago on Rollington, the street behind our neighborhood.  It is my favorite place to run and this time of year, just amazing. 
We decorated our pumpkins this year...I am not a big fan of carving, but I think I might be depriving my children of an important Halloween tradition so we might bust the knives out next year.  I don't want them to be scarred over pumpkin carving because I didn't want the mess:)
