Pumpkins and Kindergarten Party

We finally found time to carve our pumpkins. Jadyn could not wait. We waited for Tiff to get home from band last night before we started. The girls had a great time. Dad had fun too. I have a TON of photos in the album. You can see how silly the girls (and dad) were. It was fun.



Today was the girls class party. Bill & I went. I volunteered and Bill took photos for me. The girls really wanted daddy to come. I'm glad he did. They had fun doing all the fun activities that were planned. Of course they were loaded up on sugar. :-) Here are a few photos from this afternoon.



Tomorrow we'll have more photos from Halloween. The girls will be cute. I will try to uploade the photos on Sunday or Monday.

Until next time....

I forgot about Publix

Yesterday at 4 PM I took Abby & Jadyn to Publix to trick-or-treat. We have never done this before. So I figured I would take them up and get dinner while I was there. They had a blast. I took these 3 photos to share.

Halloween night

I have to admit, I'm so glad Halloween is over! It is not my favorite holiday. It's fun to get the kids dressed up etc. But I don't like the candy. Because it's so tempting. :-)
This year, Tiff had a few of her friends meet at our house. They went trick-or-treating together. They had fun. When they were finished, Bill took them to church for a bonfire & games.
Abby & Jadyn went trick-or-treating with their best friend Bella. They had a blast. Thankfully the girls did not want to go to many houses. They got tired and their bags got heavy.
Unfortunately, we bought too much candy and not many kids came to our door. So we have a ton left over. Not a good thing.
The night ended around 9 PM. The girls were exhausted. Everyone had a great time. Tiff did not get home until after 11. It's after 10 AM now and she is still sleeping.
Enjoy the slide show. The kids were all so cute. And everyone was well behaved.
Happy Halloween.....

Pumpkin Carving Time

Tonight we (and I mean everyone else) carved our pumpkins. The girls have been waiting for about 10 days to do this. Jadyn has asked every day "Can I decoration my pumpkin?" Well tonight she could. Jadyn actually drew 2 faces on her pumpkin. It's cute.

When Bill opened up our big one, he wanted the girls to help clean it out. Tiff went in and got a lot out. I think this is the first year she did not complain. :-) Then it was Jadyn's turn. Nothing scares her. She loved it. Then we had to make Abby get in there. She did not want to get messy. She only did it for the photos, then she was out of there! LOL

The pumpkins look really nice. Tiff actually carved the 2 smaller ones all by herself. She made me so nervous, but she did great.

Tomorrow is the big night. I'm not a fan of Halloween. Hopefully it will go by fast. I will take photos and upload them on Saturday.

Enjoy the slide show.

Preschool Trick-Or-Treat

Today Abby & Jadyn got to trick-or-treat in school. They wore their costumes to school. They were so excited. I volunteered to pass out candy. Thankfully there were enough moms helping that I could go around and take photos. All I can say was it was organized chaos. :-) Every class went to each classroom and got candy. Then they did it again. The kids had fun and loved every minute of it. I did get some cute photos. It was tough running between both classes.
Now they are having snack and then a special lunch. I chose to come home. I'm exhausted.
The bags that they used today they made in class. They are so cute. Some other moms helped out.
Enjoy the photos. I will have more tomorrow night of Halloween.
Until next time.....

Family time at the pumpkin patch

Today we made it to the pumpkin patch. This is my 3rd time there this week. :-) That's okay. We had fun. The girls wanted to show Bill the "silly" pumpkins they saw when they were there with their school. We walked around for a bit and then found our pumpkin (sorry, I have not taken a photo of the actual pumpkin we bought. I will when it's time to carve it. So check back). Tiff also got a pumpkin for her to carve (she is holding it in the photos). Abby & Jadyn also bought little ones (of course Jadyn's is still bigger than Abby's). Abby said "I wanted a small one because the others are too heavy). :-)

We had a fun time here. We will be carving our pumpkin closer to Halloween. Since it's so hot here, we have to wait so it will not rot.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Costume Party

Last night we had 8 friends come over for a costume party. Bill & I spent most of the day decorating and making food. The house looked neat. Cobwebs everywhere. Orange lights in the house. It was cool.
Friends started to arrive around 6 PM. Everyone was in their Halloween costume. They all looked really cute.
After everyone arrived, they ate monster food. I make monster toes, witches fingers, mummy pizza, pumpkin sandwiches & "monster snack".
Then we played some games. The first was a Mad Libs game. It turned out really funny & silly. The girls loved it.
Then they played a "Boo am I" game. Each girl had a turn at popping a balloon and then acting out the character that was inside the balloon. It was fun to see how they popped the balloons.
After that was "the broom dance" game. Tiff went first. She did a dance and then everyone had to copy it. They went on and on and could not copy it exactly. After a while of the girls trying to copy her dance, Tiff told them that before each dance, she cleared her throat. That was what they were supposed to copy. Once the girls figured it out, they laughed, and then wanted to do "their own dance".
After the broom dance they went bobbing for apples. Another fun site to watch. The girls had fun doing this and got wet too.
Then it was time for cupcakes. I made "ghost" cupcakes. The girls loved them.
After all that we planned was done, the girls then played hide & seek and some other "loud" games. They had a great time. It was fun to hear all the laughter.
Here is a slideshow of the party. Enjoy!
