Trick or Treat

 Sadly our kids are over the whole "themed" Halloween costumes.  I like them all deciding and being themselves, but I really like the family themes.  Anyway, Sophie decided she wanted to be a hamburger.

  *Go ahead.... laugh*.....

That fit her personality perfectly.  Wouldn't it have been so cute to have had a hamburger, hotdog, french fries and then Kyle & I be the soda and milkshake?  Cute family theme... right?  Well I got out voted on that one. *humph*

Heidi wanted to be an angel.... which brings me... Sophie wanted to be one too and I told her she couldn't pull it off *haha*!  So she decided on the hamburger.  Kman wanted to be Buzz Lightyear.  As you can see, at the last minute he decided he wanted to be a football player.....

We started off the week of Halloween by going to Babbie's Fall Festival.....

 .... and Halloween night we went Trick or Treating with the Tisdales.... and decided last minute to dress up like farmers....

 ..... Babee's was our first stop.....

 .... and as you can see Sophie decided to be a cat and not a hamburger and Karter decided to be a hunter not a football player or Buzz Lightyear. 

 And we ended Halloween week with a Fall Festival at our church.....

It was a good Halloween :)!!  I'll show you some pictures from Sophie's party I helped with at preschool.....  and just so happened it was her day to hold the flag.

 They all had a good time making Halloween masks.....

 The day before Halloween they had costume day at preschool..... that is when Sophie decided she wanted to be a cat instead of a hamburger.....

 ... and these were Heidi and Karter's treated for their class.....

Karter's Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

 The Kindergarten Class always takes a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch.  I have looked forward to taking Karter (and next year Sophie) ever since we went with Heidi.  I love to watch the excitement on all the children's faces.  A lot of the kids do not get to experience things like that so it is neat to watch their whole worlds be enlightened. 

 When we first got there it was lunch time.  They all enjoyed having a picnic outside.

The wind was VERY cool when we first got there.  Poor things were shivering!

I absolutely LOVE him having Amanda as a teacher.

She and Kyle will NEVER stop picking on each other.  I love that about them.

 They all were able to carry a pumpkin and a sunflower home.

This little guy really is so sweet.

 They learned about eggs......

 ..... picking apples from trees.....

 ..... they dug for potatoes and learned how to milk a "cow".

 Karter had a blast.  I am so thankful that Kyle and I were able to go with Karter just as we did with Heidi. 

Scarecrows in the park, Rolling, Homecoming 2014

Kman loves helping his Daddy when he is home.

These 3 have always been close friends.

 Last week we visited the scarecrows in the park :)!!  We all look forward to this each year.

Kyle is such a big kid!! They were all competing to see who could swing the highest.

 We got started on supper when we got home.  The kids enjoyed helping their Daddy make biscuits.

 Homecomings in the south are a huge deal.  You can prepare yourself to see lots and lots of toilet paper filled yards.  It is usually the high schoolers that do the rolling, but this year when my friend, Julie, decided to roll us.... well it was on!! 

This was our yard when we got home from church Wednesday night.....

 ... Soooo... Thursday night we went rolling.  The kids had a blast.  Karter rode with Brayden and when Kayla sent me this picture I literally LOL'd.....

 The next day was Homecoming.  The kids got out of school early for the annual parade.  

While I was there making copies I got a picture of sweet Oki and Heidi :)...

 Before the parade Luke was teaching Karter and Sophie how to play dice....

 Friday at preschool they carved a "Jack-O-Lantern" for the letter J....

She has so much fun at preschool.

 ... and Saturday our guys went to The Tisdales for the Mens Supper.  They all gather, grill, watch football, do a Devotion, and hang out.  Karter had so much fun having a "Daddy/Son" afternoon/evening.  

While they were there, us girls hung out at Mamas.  We grilled and visited The Messers...

Kman and Brayden chillin' by the fire that evening.

Weekends seem to go by entirely too fast.
