Halloween Party

Last night we went to some friends' Halloween party. The kids finally wore their official Halloween costumes. Here is Jessie from Toy Story 2! Please note her about 60 year old boots! They were her Grandpa Shad's boots. They are too cute!

Here is Woody!

Cutest cowboy I know!

This was also Clara's first day in pigtails! I love them! She had a red cowboy hat but she did not like it.

The cowboys!

The cowgirls! My precious young 'uns!

It was a family party and we were supposed to come in a theme. Here is the Queen Bee with her two little bees. (Sharon with Ben and Annie)

The tree hugging family! (Monica, Jimmy, Trey, and Kaitlann)

Here are the cowboys and cowgirls!

Cinderella and her two evil stepsisters (Lamar, Regina, and Bentley)

The Peter Pan theme from our hosts - Captain Hook, Wendy, Tinkerbell, Peter Pan and a mermaid. (Mike, Jennie, Avery, Jude, and Tessa)

By the way, the Cinderella theme won the prize!! I didn't get a couple of pictures on here though.

Pumpkin Carving

Here we are on Pumpkin Carving Night. John was all ready with his kit from Grammy! Getting ready for the clean out!

Dad, Clara, and John

John took a picture of mom with the pattern on there. I was dreading this I must say because the designs looked really hard. We picked the easiest one and it was great! We were done in less than 30 minutes and it looks better than any other ones we have ever done. (You can see behind me I finally have the majority of my plates and such up in my kitchen finally!)

John helping out!

John and I with the finished product.

My silly boy!

Fall Festival

Here are some pictures from the church's fall festival and trunk-or-treat. John LOVED this fishing game.

Quite possibly my favorite picture of my boy EVER!!! Clare getting her hand painted.

This is what Clara did the majority of the night. She went to where the prizes were for the games and totally stuffed her and her brother's pumpkins full of goods. Too bad I won't let her have any of that stuff!

My little dalmation!

Making magnets

John working hard on his magnet.

Me and my girl!

Trunk-or-treating

Dressed Up for Church

Here we are headed out to the church's fall festival and trunk or treat. John decided at the last minute that he didn't want to wear his Halloween costume and wanted to wear his daddy's old cowboy outfit.

Since there was a change of plans not to match, I put Clara in John's 2nd Halloween costume.

Halloween at School

The kids had their Halloween celebration at school today. Both of the kids had parties and John's class got to dress up. John decided he was going to be a knight for school. The knight and his princess!

Both of the kids with their "cheese" although John wasn't looking at me.

I love how Clara is staring up at her big brother in this one!

These are the cupcakes I made for John's class. I totally stole the idea from my friend Amy who has the most creative ideas. Not bad for my first try.
