Christmas party at school

The girls were wearing dresses that they designed (and I sewed)
Opening their "stocking stuffers" that they gave each other.
All of the students pitched in to buy their teacher, Mrs. J, a new mini fridge for her classroom b/c she has a bad ant problem. They brought her to tears.

Thanksgiving

Unfortunately, Mimi was in the hospital on T'day so we took her a BIG plate of food and gave her lots of hugs and kisses.
Afterwards, we went to see Daddy's Granny. She is making a silly face b/c Daddy said something funny and inappropriate!!

Z loses her 1st two teeth (in Nov.)

See those 2 baby teeth on the bottom almost touching?
See those 2 new teeth growing in and pushing those baby teeth out?
See a messy face with missing baby teeth?
See goodies she got from the dentist after she had the 2 stubborn and stuck baby teeth pulled?
See the golden streamers the tooth fairy left on the floor along with a golden dollar and 50 cent piece.

Disney on Ice

Toy Story
Me and M being silly taking a picture of ourselves.
M, Z, and C. They were each allowed to bring one dress up item. M chose a crown. Z chose Cinderella gloves, and C chose the Incredibles mask.
Mickey, Minnie, and all of the characters coming out to say goodbye.
All of the characters lined up again to say goodbye.

Trunk or Treat at church

The kids dressed as their favorite Disney characters and I took them to the mall to receive FREE Disney on Ice tickets. All 3 of them got tickets and I received a $10 off coupon
For Trunk or Treat at our church, C dressed as a wizard, Z was a girly pirate, and M was a good/bad witch!!

Ben was a tourist and here he is posing with another church member.

Carving pumpkins

We picked a beautiful fall day to go outside and carve their pumpkins. They were in a lovey-dovey mood so I took advantage and snapped some great photos.
Precious!!!
Z with the gooey inside
C was proud of his "goo" or "brains as he called it.
M wasn't quite so sure.
M's pumpkin
Z's pumpkin

They are tired of photos now. I got fake smiles.

Trunk or Treat at school

Their school set up Trunk or Treat through the carpool line. Great idea!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Their kindergarten class went to the Pumpkin Patch in mid-October and had so much fun!

They had an inflatable park for the kids to play in and they spent most of their time on the giant inflatable slide.


I made the mistake of telling the kids that they could pick WHATEVER pumpkin they liked. Yep! You guessed it! They all picked out HUGE and heavy pumpkins and guess who got stuck dragging them to the car?? Besides that, we enjoyed a nice fall day with friends!
