Happy Halloween

This year we had a bull in a china shop and Cinderella!  The weather was perfect and we trick or treated with The Beckleman's and gang!  The kids had a ball and got lots of candy!   I don't remember getting so much candy growing up!
It's tough work being a bull

"Harvest"party at Merryhill

The kids had parties at school on Halloween but they were called harvest parties.  No costumes for this one (they got to dress up for trunk or treat).  Ashlyn's party was at lunch time so I missed it, but I made it for Paxton's.  His teachers are so amazing!  The love and effort they put into each day for these kids is beyond anything I have seen.    We love you Ms. Jez and Ms. Malriah!  Ashlyn's teachers are great too, but her class gets down to business!

Pumpkin carving

So I woke up this morning realizing tomorrow is Halloween and we haven't been to the pumpkin patch or carved a pumpkin yet!  Having the day off from work and school I thought we might be able to sneak in a quick trip before the weather turned rainy.  Didn't make it in time and the patch was covered with a tarp :(. Headed to Target for a few items and they had a bin full of pumpkins!  Yay for the "pumpkin patch" at Target!  We made homemade pizza and carved our pumpkin when Chance got home from work. Paxton would not even sit by the pumpkin! He was scared of it...it was so sad!!

He makes this horrible face every year???
Our 2013 Jack o Lantern!
Paxton wanted nothing to do with it

Matching jammies

I don't dress them matching very often but I do occasionally buy then matching jammies and Ashlyn loves to "match Paxton"!

Tippi toes

Ashlyn's Tippi Toes class had a performance at a fall festival this afternoon.  It was so much fun watching her dance.  She was one of the only 2 girls who stayed up there the entire time without running over to their parents.  She knew most of the dance moves and seemed to enjoy herself!  Hoping she got the Wimberly rhythm!
Watching his sister...the first of many of these performances, I am sure!

Trunk or Treat

Merryhill had a fall festival and trunk or treat!  The kids had a ball and Aunt Rah Rah showed up to help me chase the kids around!  Chance made it in time for Ashlyn's second pony ride.  Paxton wouldn't get near the horse!
I love this picture :)
