Halloween...

This year I have a Ninja Turtle and a pretty Flower Fairy up in da' house!!!  We are off to enjoy some halloween fun today and then later we are celebrating Greyson turning 5!(gasp-when did that happen?)

Have a great Saturday!

Fall and ALL things random...

Along with Fall comes Homecoming and along with that comes the parade and let's face it...parades make kids happy (for the most part)....so we grabbed our halloween bags and off we went...

 I hurried home after school...and picked up my crew...

The loud noises scared sister a little...so she stayed close to daddy.

 Who gets a stuffed animal thrown to them at a parade???  Well, Sailor does I guess ;-)  It's not what ya know it's who ya know...

 

they waved and they waved and they waved...hoping for some good candy...and let me tell you those little smiles worked wonders...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My dear friend and cousin was in town a few weeks back...she lives in Arizona.....so we got to visit with them and her little guy Gio.....we ordered food and the kids ran around....it was so nice to catch up...

Gio is sooooo adorable...he's not quite 2 yet...Sailor loved having someone 'littler' than her around...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These were some moments I caught over our weekend...we took the kids to a fall festival on Sunday....

My sweet boy or should I say my sweet ninja?  Either one works right now.

 she's already dancin' around poles (totally kidding)

 Nate made me take Sailor's ring off last night.  We have not taken it off since I put it on her which who knows how long ago that was...it was looking a little tight around those chubby fingers....a little soap and it came right off....now I must find her another one that fits ;-)

 they went on a muscle 'kick' for some reason...

 Sailor said - "Mama yook...I showin' you my muscles!"

And we had some fun in the kitchen today....we made some hallween jello jigglers...the kids enjoyed it...

 it's their 'after' dinner treat tonight...

Happy Monday Friends!

Lots of Fall talk...

So, Fall is here...we have birthdays to plan, Halloween costumes to think about, decorations to put up, and maybe some new Fall pieces to add to my wardrobe ;-)  Oh and more boots;-)  You can never have enough boots - right?!

Grey reminds me everyday that Halloween is coming.  My kid likes Halloween.  We are trying to decide what he should be.  Every store we go into he asks  -"Mommy can we look at the costumes?"  Sure, why not!

We are also well aware that Fall school fundraising has started.  Everyday I've had some little kid knocking at my door trying to sell me something.  So, because of this we have some bread braids/rolls coming, Grey is getting a sports illustrated for kids subscription, and I have a year worth of People (style watch) on its way.  ha!  We must support our local schools.

I'm looking forward to the fall and holiday season.  I'm usually up for an adventure....and by adventure I mean we will be taking in some area football games, one BIG college game we are excited about, make a trip to the pumpkin patch or two, and lots of other big things coming our way for our family.

My brother is getting married on New Year's Eve so we are ALL very excited about this and planning has been long underway for quite some time and now it all seems to be coming together.  All 4 of us are in it and we've been prepping Grey and Sailie.

 But, for now I'll leave you with what the past week or so has looked like up in here:

This little pout face has been a stinker - let me tell you - Tantrums and Fits galore but we're managing.

Enjoying our patio...

 Loving some night time football...

Greyson is obsessed with sports.  He has started soccer thru the Y.  It's just practices to get him started.

 This was his first practice two weeks ago...Sailie, Dee Dee, and I were front and center.  And last week, Sailor even brought her harmonica and played for Grey when he kicked the ball.  That was a sight.

 And while we have a sports fanatic around I also have a Princess.  It's the perfect balance for me:-)

And so in closing here we are kickin' off Fall.....we started with a visit to the pumpkin patch.  Naturally my daughter has a mouthful of food - haha!

 Warm cinnamon doughnuts were calling our names and so were some really BIG pumpkins...

Horse swingin' boy...

Sister running thru the tunnel to get her brother...

Looking for "gold" according to Grey...

I'm not gonna burst his bubble - but they're just rocks ;-)  But, I'm pretty sure he knows that now...

Annnnnddddd that's a wrap...

I think it's only appropriate to wish you and yours a Happy Fall!
