A little Halloween overload...

We had so much fun during October..we had lots of parties and events to attend and we were successful at having the most fun! I can't remember now in which order we did all this but to recap:Georgia dressed Sidney up in her 'cheetah' costume..she thought it was hilarious when she wore her nose and whiskers!We dressed up for a friend's Halloween party, at Stella and Liam's house. It was fun with lots of cute, Pinteresty foods, a bounce house, crafts and even mimosas for the adults!I worked at Hayes and Georgia's preschool's fundraiser, the Pumpkin Patch for 2 different 4 hour shifts. It wasn't so bad and we sold lots of pumpkins! I took the kids with me one day and they played on the corn tables, on the playground and rode the tractors. I even made them take a few pictures!Me and the kids made some crafty fabric pumpkins. We used old dresses, handkerchiefs and remnants and they turned out so cute. I really had fun with this and can't wait to make new ones next year. It was too easy and the kids helped and picked out their own design!The Country Club had a Halloween fest with spooky hayrides on the golf course, a cupcake walk, bounce house, carving contest, cart-or-treat, face painting and cookie decorating. That was lots of fun but tiring since Daniel was out of town. We spent one morning at the library for their special Halloween craft and storytime. The kids always like that and it's free!The kids dressed up and we went to our awesome Chick-fil-A for their Halloween Princess and Pirate party with face painting, balloon animals and free kid's meals when you dress up!Me and this sweet girl had to squeeze shopping in somewhere..! Oh and a few days before Halloween Emmaline had her Girl Scout costume party at Chuck E Cheese. It was a deal for our family at only $15 for all of us to eat, get tokens and cupcakes. Emmaline wanted to wear a fairy costume with heels. And she ended up winning 1st place for coolest costume (as voted on by her peers) and 3rd place overall. She got some cool Daisy/girl scout items and lots of candy as a prize. She was so excited!! Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of her in her cute fairy costume. I was room mom for Emmaline's 1st grade class party. I made a Bingo game, and brought snacks. We also played a fun Trick or treat game where the kids pick a paper out of a bucket and they either won a treat or had to do a trick, like howl at the moon like a werewolf or pat your head and rub your stomach...they loved this and it was super easy!Our Halloween night started early at our church for Boo Fest...includes trunk or treating, free food, bounce houses, obstacle courses and slides, rides, face painting and more. The kids love going and seeing their friends and teachers all dressed up!Our next stop was at the Methodist church trunk or treat where we saw some friends who has cars decorated. The girls got to see more friends and Sidney, the Cabbage Patch Kid made an appearance and got lots of AAHHS! This is Avery, Georgia, Meredith and Emmaline..G will be in Kinder with those girls!! Our night ended at home..Hayes was so hot from wearing the giraffe that he stayed home with me and Sidney to hand out candy. He was so cute and into it. We were busy and got rid of lots of candy!! Daniel and the girls went around our mile street to trick or treat. It really was a great day but exhausting!And this is pretty much how we all were by 8pm Halloween night! The next day I had made an appointment, without thinking, for the kids to go to the dentist. They did ok, though HB wouldn't let them do x-rays.. NO Cavities!!! A miracle I tell you!

Sunday Funday

Our Sunday Fundays have been different for a long while now...but they are still Sundays and they are still Fundays! The kids are first in mind and we usually are doing whatever makes them happy...and tired.

We woke up Sunday, my mom, Natalie and Preston took off for New Orleans (where they won over $5,000) and me and the kids started our day. Carrie and her boys headed over shortly after they left then we loaded up went and retrieved the truck from the night before. We decided we were too old for all that.
We went back to my parents and brought out all bikes, trikes and strollers for the kids to play with...not long before the little people and houses were out too... we had a ton of toys all over the place and half the kids were happy. In the afternoon me, Carrie and the kids headed to Chuck and Pepper's little boy's 3rd birthday party. Brody is just a little younger than Hayes and Jackson, so it was fun to see them all together. The tractor and rabbits were highlights for our evening as were Aunt B's horsey rides! What a great sport she is!!It was a really fun day with some of my oldest friends and their babies! Love memories like this!

My very own Cabbage Patch Kid

So I couldn't resist!!

I have received so many comments that Sidney Rose looks just like a Cabbage Patch Kid, that when I saw these 'wigs' that are made to look like a CPK I knew I wouldn't be able to resist it. Halloween rolled around and it was time! So here is my very own Cabbage Patch Kid. I should have sprinkled her with baby powder so she would smell like one too..
She actually wore it for some time and I think she may have to wear it again while it's cold. It is just a crocheted hat..so she could wear is again and it wouldn't be too weird, right?? Right??!!
