Happy Halloween

This year for Halloween Ted was Storm Shadow from GI Joe, Alex was Snake Eyes from GI Joe (which is really funny since neither on watched the GI Joe cartoons and they have not seen the new movie), and Sierra was a Halloween Fairy.

Going to the mall for Trick-or-Treating, it was so cold and rainy that the nice warm dry mall was perfect. We meet some friends there and the kids all went trick-or-treating together. We had so much fun and the kids were so good!

Carving and Painting

Tonight we finished painting and carving the rest of our pumpkins. Once again a good time was had by all!

Parent Teacher Conferences

Today we had Ted and Alex's parent teacher conferences. Our babsitter was sick, so only Brad was able to go, so I was a little sad. Alex's conference was scheduled first and Brad found out how great Alex is! LOL!! He is so smart, funny and creative! His teacher loves is stories, his creative, how focused he can be (who knew!) and that he and his best friend DON'T talk during class (he is doing better than I did). She loves having him in class and he is doing great! Ted conference was right afterwards and Ted went with Brad. Ted's teacher said he is doing so very well! He is at the very top of his class in every subject, the teacher looks to him to help others and to be a good influence. He is doing so well, I can't wait to see his report card!!!! I am so proud of both of my boys!! Keep up the good work!

Pumpkin Painting

Tonight the kids painted their pumpkins. Alex and Ted love to paint pumpkins and this was Sierra's first year. We all had a great time!

Sierra decided to try the paint, she didn't like it very much!!!! LOL!!!

Sierra's New Coat

My sister, Auntie Jennifer, gave Sierra this adorable coat a while ago. Sierra is finally big enough for it and it is cold enough outside for it. Sierra didn't take the coat off the whole day!! She loved it!

I bought this jumper for Sierra and she loves it because...

there is a KITTY!!! KITTY!!! KITTY!!! in her pocket!

Face Painting

Alex loves to have his face painted, Ted does too but not quite as much. I have been painting Alex's face almost everyday and probably will continue to until we run out of face paint. Here are a few pictures that I have taken of them....

Pumpkin Festival

We went to Stocker Farms Pumpkin Festival and Corn Maze again this year. We meet a few friends and their kids there and let the kids run wild! Brad and Ted went through the maze, and made really good time. The kids played in the corn boxes and the hamster wheels, rode on the barrell train and the hay ride, fished, face painted and bounced!!!! It was exhausting just watching them!

Train Tracks

Brad started this train track for Sierra...

then Alex started helping....

then Ted got started and wanted a big track with no dead ends....

and it got bigger and bigger...

it was longer then Ted one way and longer than Alex the other way!!!
