Fall Fun

I will venture to say that fall is probably the best season of all for me and the family. Not only is it gorgeous outside but the weather is cooler, which I LOVE! One of the most fun times for the kids is trick-or-treating. How fun it is for the kids to dress up in fun costumes and walk 10 miles while gathering all the tooth-decaying morsels available to them?? This year for Halloween Megan decided to dress up as "Sharpay" from Disney's High School Musical and Caleb decided to be "Spiderman". Both kids morphed into character quickly and boy did they crack me up. Nothing like your little guy dressing up in blue tights and a checkered beanie and taking on the persona of a web-producing super hero. More good times indeed!

Pumpkin Carving

Making memories while carving a pumpkin... always more to see the delight in the children's faces. Happy times indeed.

It's Winnie the Pooh ... sort of.

My little chef

One Friday evening as I was preparing dinner my little man, Caleb, decided he was going to help in the kitchen. Both my kiddos absolutely love being in the kitchen. So any opportunity the kids have they jump on it. As I was busy cooking away Caleb grabbed ALL the pots and pans I was not using and decided to cook a yummy salad a.k.a."sow wed". He needed some ingredients so he grabbed all leftover celery and began making his masterpiece of a dish.

Happy Fall Y'all

The kids seem to love it when we put out a scarecrow and a few fall decorations. This year we somehow managed to stow away the "fall/Halloween" decorations in a box that simply could not be found. So off to Michael's we went (one of my FAVORITE craft stores) with my 50% off coupon in hand and let the kiddos pick out a scarecrow. Next we made a pit stop to our local grocery store to pick out a big, fat pumpkin. With a little maneuvering and patience I was able to get the scarecrow (wink wink) to stand still for a photo with the kids. My fellow moms know how hard it is to get everyone in line and STILL for a photo op. Here we have my attempts.
