party party party

So....ready for more Halloween party pics! This was from Wes' preschool program/carnival. What a cute thing they do for the kids.


Wes and Corgan

Wes and Gracie

his favorite game, you eat the worm off the string. Instant gratification!

They also had free cotton candy, tons of games and bounce houses.

Natty is so big pushing Ellie

Today we had a party at our clubhouse, and it too was super fun.
Pumpkin Bowling

They stuck their hands in the boxes to feel blood, guts and eye balls

The crew

musical pumpkins

decorating cookies

does that look delicious or what

and what is a party without a slew of babies. I can't believe how big they are getting

 

Halloween overload

From now until Halloween night it is going to be treat and party overload.  To kick it all off we had Josh's work Halloween party. So cute with games, trick-or-treating and a spook alley.

my Captain America and elephant (Wes actually decided later that night that he wants to be something else)

the loot

Saturday we went to Macey's and Fresh Market to do their trick-or-treating. We also had the primary program practice that morning, but I didn't get any pictures with my camera. We had such a fun activity afterwards.

 

Saturday night was the ward trunk-or-treat. This is what Wes wants to be now for Halloween. I could not believe that Mr. Scared-of-everything Halloween related wanted to be the Scream guy. Whatever, I love it!

Me and Laurie (love her!)

Wes and Kloe

Josh didn't dress up so he didn't get to be in this family pic :)

the cutest elephant I have ever seen

and again with our loot, this is getting crazy. I'm glad I only have 2 days left of my challenge so I can help eat all these treats

My poor baby is so sick today, I just had to show this picture. It is the most pitiful thing, her voice is so hoarse, she is congested and just has been laying around all day. She is usually so wiggily and will not sit still it's so weird to see her like this.

 

So Big

So this is Wes' very first school picture. He is so big, I love him so much!

I love that he is the only kid making a normal face, so cute.

and thank you Nanny for more webs, this is just part of the mess it made. The rest was outside and was really fun to clean up after it rained

 

 

 

Another pumpkin patch? yes please

Last Saturday we went to Harward's pumpkin patch in Springville. Yes we went to yet another pumpkin patch, I never get sick of doing fallish things. Finally Josh was able to come with us. The Kimbers also joined us for a fun mornig.


What?! Is that a picture of the elusive Josh, why yes it is!

Wes and Marshall making corn angels

snack time of homemade chocolate chip cookies

check this out, this was my shirt when I was a baby. I don't know if you can see, but it says Erin in the corner. Yep I loved smurfs.

Our newest family activity is going on bike rides. I love my new seat (thanks Mother-in-law) for Natty bug!

I raked up a pile of leaves today for Wes and Aaden to jump in and boy was it lame-o, first of all I don't have a rake so I had to use a broom. Then the pile was so small they looked ridiculous jumping in it. Needless to say they didn't last long.

somebody else loved it though!

 

Witches and Haunted Mansions

I think this weekend is going to be one of the last nice weekends for us, so we are doing some things that I didn't want to miss out on. Yesterday we went to Gardener Village to look for some witches. Other than it being beyond crowded, we had a fun time.

the babies

Our crew

Wes in heaven!

 

Aren't these witches creepy, I can't believe Wes wasn't scared.

Boo!

Then we had family movie night, with pizza, chocolate chip cookies and popcorn. We made a big bed on the floor with all our blankets and watched "The Haunted Mansion".

 

I don't know why this picture is so blurry
