The day before Halloween...

We spent the morning and afternoon baking! Chocolate covered Oreos, Carmel apples, pumpkin cookie sandwiches, candy corn cookies and candy corn cupcakes! All to yummy!

He caught a package of M&M's. His facial expression was pricelss!

They can throw a football!

Parker popped 2 balloons with one dart!

How strong are you?

Casey asked me if I thought it was a good idea for Pax to be throwing darts? My reply, a smile. We will see. He did great he popped 2 out of 3!

Fall Festival take two...

We had a wonderful time at our Church Fall Festival! An evening filled with fun and fellowship!

I realize Parker doesn't look as though he is enjoying his face painting. He is simply being very serious! He loves face painting as most of you know. It's pretty much a daily must at our house!

Pumpkin Painting

hmmmm which cupcake do you think he selected?

Parker wore Snake Eyes (from GI JOE) for the evening

A little "bad guy golf"! As Pax said

Paxson had a blast playing in the big park! Always a big treat! Once 3/4 of his class turn 3 then they will graduate from the toddler park to the big park! He is ready!

Paxson trying to play it cool. He wouldn't wear the new belt or cape we ordered. Go figure.... :)

WOW!!!!!!

This was Parker's last Fall Festival at School for Little People! Can't believe big K next year!

ugh........ Lucky us, we have several more to look forward to for Paxson.

Deleting pictures...

How do you do it??????????? I have logged on the site to clean up our blog a little several times and each time I find myself putting it off. I know I need to delete some of the old pictures on the side bar however I simply can not do it! I realize I still have copies of the pictures on my computer and our photo website but I can not do it. Sooooo I suppose for now they will stay a little longer. I love comparing the pictures seeing how the boys have grown and changed. With this in mind I ask you to please bare with me. I will clean it up and update the pictures in time. :) Hugs to all! Can you belive Oct. is almost over!?!?!? Wow this year is flying.....

It once was a yellow pumpkin but now it's a Jack O Lantern...

A dear friend that I previously taught with hosted her annual pumpkin carving party. She is truly the hostess with the mostess. From decorations, snacks, entertainment, and beverages she knows how to throw a wonderful party. We started going when Parker was 3 and look forward to it each year. She also hosts a gingerbread decorating party at Christmas time. I am so grateful for the invitations! I know how much it takes to put a fabulous party together and I so appreciate everything she does! I love getting to see old friends and catch up! They boys had a blast and came home with beautiful jack o lanterns, goody bags, bags of gummy worms, and huge smiles!

Paxson's expression says exactly how he feltabout the inside "messy"!

He eventually used his hands to clean the pumpkin out.

Paxson was slightly more interested in the yummy treats rather than carving the pumpkins.

Not So Scary Halloween....

We headed to River Bend for the Not So Scary Halloween Festival.

Can it get any better......

My parents gave Casey and I a camping tub for christmas our first year of marriage. Sadly we have only used it a few times. However, we made use of it this weekend. We will always remember the evening! The boys were sooooooooooo excited once they realized that we were actually going to sleep in the tent. "All night long?" as Parker asked. And we did. Man oh man being 6 months prego and sleeping on the ground was a little bit on the uncomfortable side but completey worth it!

I think we will blow up the air bed to put inside and lay on next time. :)LOL
