Trunk or Treat and Trick or Treat

We went to church during the day for Trunk or Treat.  The boys got to play lots of games and see all their friends and of course eat candy.  Then, the Winsors invited us over for hamburgers and hotdogs at their house and we got to trick or treat in their neighborhood which had lots of trick or treaters.  The boys racked up on candy!

Minion Pumpkin

Dadda carved a pumpkin and the boys choose a minion designed.  Turned out pretty good!

Ty's Fieldtrip

I got to go with Ty and his class to Southern Belle Farm today.  He was so excited to be with his friends and see the farm.  He is so cute with his friends; they have a lot of fun together.  His best friends in his class are Bentley, Lawson, Marissa, and Toby.  We each got to pick a pumpkin from the patch and Ty found the biggest one he could, I looked for the smallest and it fit in my pocket.  I love spending one-on-one time and this was a great day!

Donuts with Dad

Jeff got to go to school today along with other dads to spend time with the boys.  They enjoyed donuts and then just the kindergardeners got to carve pumpkins with their Dads.  I think Ty had a good time (and AJ didn't want to take a pic while he was eating his donut)

Layla and Mark's Party

We had the Baxter family over to celebrate Mark and Layla both turning 3 with a Mickey/Minnie Mouse party!  The 2 of them are such good friends and love being together.  Mark loves to spend time at Layla's house and we love having her at our house.  It's so fun to have a cousin who is the same age.  Jeff made a low country boil and it was so good.  After dinner, we had cake and opened presents.  Later we had a bon fire outside.  It was fun; we are so blessed to have an adorable fun loving son and an adorable sweet niece! 

Poetry Competition

Both our school boys represented their classes in the school poetry competition today.  We were so proud of them.  AJ was the only boy in 2nd grade and Ty was 1 of 3 kids in kindergarten.

AJ's poem; My hat is full of rabbits by Ken Nesbitt

My hat is full of rabbits.
My cape is full of doves.
A playing card is up my sleeve,
and some are in my gloves.

A wand is in my pocket
with handkerchiefs and flowers.
My coat has things like ropes and rings
with mystifying powers.

I have my staff and juggling clubs,
my mirrors, cups, and dice,
my crystal ball, my smoke machine,
and fancy dancing mice.

I'm ready for my magic show.
There's just one problem here...
My elephant is on my lap
and will not disappear.

Ty's Poem
My Lunch by Ken Nesbitt
A candy bar.
A piece of cake.
A lollipop.
A chocolate shake.

A jelly donut.
Chocolate chips.
Some gummy worms
and licorice whips.

A candy cane.
A lemon drop.
Some bubblegum
and soda pop.

Vanilla wafers.
Cherry punch.
My mom slept in
while I made lunch.

Mark turns 3!

After a fun weekend camping, we celebrated Mark's birthday. We had dinner at the Mexican restaurant, then took a trip to Toys R Us where Mark pretended to ride all the power wheels and picked out a toy laptop.  Then we came back home for some cake!  It was simple, but he was a happy boy!
