Halloween

Halloween night was on a Wednesday this year:)  So, we had a quick corn dog dinner and then we were off.  We 1st went to K's PreSchool Trunk-or-Treat with our BFF's:)
 
 
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum:)

 
My Fam!
 
 
Our crew of 6:)  LOVE them!
 
 
Keegan LOVED being Spiderman this year.  It was SOOO cute the 1st time he put his mask on.  He had to go to the mirror so he could see himself:)) 
 

 
 
Bouncing out allllll his energy in a bounce house!
 
 
GRRRRR!  Joshua LOVED his costume as well.  He has been wanting to be a Karate Kid for the past 2 years.  He loves watching the show Kickin It.  This year we got him an actual Karate uniform.  I predict both costumes will provide hours of play for the boys.
 
 
 
And here is just a shot of my Halloween Mantel, before it starts coming down. 
I LOVE LOVE LOVE decorating for the holidays and Halloween is probably my FAV right behind Christmas.  :))
 
 
 
And here's a sweet little snack we made in my classroom on Halloween day!

PUMPKINS:)

 
We carved our pumpkins this past weekend.  Joshua has been waiting to do this since the moment I bought them:))

 
Why is the inside of a pumpkin so gross?!?!
 
  
Working hard on our creations.
 
 
Mommy and Keegan's ghosts
 
 
Krys' cat, the ghosts, and Joshua's witch:))
 
 
They are sooo proud...hard to tell, but the pumpkins are lit up:)
 

 
This past weekend we also went to the pumpkin patch.  I think pumpkin patches are sooo beautiful, I just LOVE rows of pumpkins! 
And I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pic:))
 

 
Joshua loved the bounce house obstacle course.
 
 
Keegan enjoyed all the little rides:)
 


 
This was the coolest --- Punkin Chunkin!!
 
 
What little boy would NOT like a giant sling shot?!?!
 

 
Pony Rides
 



 
 
Oh...how my little boys have grown.  Go HERE to see last years pics:)


 
This one is SOOO typical, Joshua hides from the camera and Keegan waves:))
 

 
What a fun day with our little family!

Our week...

This week was Red Ribbon Week at our school.  So, we used our school
spirit to say NO to drugs:)
Monday was College colors day!
 Tuesday was RED day.
 Wednesday was Sweats day - no pic:(
and Thursday was PJ DAY -- my FAVORITE!
 random: On Thursday night we also made cupcakes, we are getting
sooo excited about HALLOWEEN!!
 Friday was Lake Pointe colors day!
It was also the annual MOMS AND MUFFINS day.  So, Joshua and I got to enjoy some early morning time together:)  And the muffins this year were VERY good!

 
That's it! 
Only 3 more weeks till THANKSGIVING BREAK, which means a WHOLE week off for us!

Masterpieces!

I LOVE my kids work.  I save a lot of it, just because I cannot part with it.  I love their little hands and their handwriting. 
It just melts this momma's heart!
 
 
Keegan has been bringing home TONS of artwork from Pre School.  He has an alphabet book where he turns every letter into something cute...I'm loving it already and we've only just begun:))
 


 
SOOOO proud!!
 



 
And Joshua brings home some pretty AWESOME work too.  His writing is getting so good and I just love seeing his thought process.  This little story is about catching a frog in a bucket in the backyard one day.  Who would've known....it would have been something to write about?!?!
 


 
And look at all the 100's on his spelling tests!!  Now, I have to be honest.  At first I was convinced that he must be cheating.  I contemplated over talking with his teacher...just to keep a watchful eye.  But then I started testing him at home after the test...and he got 100's!!!!  I'm sorry I was doubtful, or surprised, but I am SO SO SO proud!!!  Second Grade has been really good for our boy!
