Happy Halloween

As we set out this evening, the weather was perfect for Halloween, clear, no wind, and beautiful The children posed for a few mandatory costume pictures. Some on the bench
Some by the trees

Macy was Tinkerbell.

Branson was a race car driver. I think the purple hair really makes the outfit.

Lane was also a race car driver. I think he would have been any thing as long as the costume was mainly blue. He decided long before Branson. Branson was swayed by Lane's choice.

What a beautiful Tinkerbell!

We walked up the road to a local church and participated in their carnival. The kids had a lot of fun and wound up with a lot of candy! Lane threw some darts and actually popped a balloon. You can tell that even the guys working the booth were surprised!

The obligatory cake walk . . . .but you didn't get baked goods, just more candy!

And some fishing lessons

On the way home, we stopped at all our neighbors' houses and collected more candy. I hope the children don't notice if I sneak out all the candy that contains both peanut butter and chocolate. I think they are far too busy eating the really gross stuff to even care!

Maybe one last stop . . .


Hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween.

Ready to Come Out and Play!

Branson has been feeling poorly for nearly two weeks. He started feeling bad last week. He would feel bad, then better, then bad, over and over. He shared his "bug" with Macy and Lane. They fared better than Branson, but they didn't have fun with it either. He even shared with his Nee Nee. I have heard about just tons of families with sickness around. I am hoping and praying that everyone gets well and has a wonderful, healthy winter. We are just ready to come out and play!!!!

Macy's 5th Birthday

This week my baby girl turned 5. She is getting so big. She received a new "ball gown" to help her celebrate her birthday. She wanted to wear her hair different for her birthday. She needed it straightened. Straightening her hair is quite a task. She looked beautiful.

Priceless . . . .

Blowing kisses


Getting kisses!!!


Tinkerbell was this year's theme.


Waiting to blow out the candles


Making a wish


And finally, Macy's favorite part, opening presents.
