Supper Club

Vaughn and I love going to supper club, me especially.  Anytime I can get out the house for some adult fun is great!  Travis and Emily hosted this months supper club and asked everyone to come dressed up.  Was so happy that everyone did!  Thanks to Kayla for getting us to take a picture, good times!

Boo @ The Zoo

We headed out to one of our favorite Halloween activities, Boo at the Zoo, with our favorite little fireman! 

Wendy and Princess Tiger Lily were excited to start trick or treating

Trying to get a picture with these kiddos is hard, like really hard

We had a great time and it gave them good practice for the real thing!

Trick or Treat

Callie was SO excited that Halloween had finally come and that she could go trick or treating!!  We were so excited that Vaughn got off work early which meant we could get started earlier too!  Of course I had to try and get a few quick pictures of the girls, but that never seems to work out.  Chloe was ALL over the place looking at the decorations

and Callie wanted a quick snack before hand.  I was just thankful it was a healthy one!

seriously, she touches e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.

I also keep attempting a bow in her hair, but she ALWAYS pulls it out.  I love bows and I SO want one of my girls to wear them… oh well…

Daddy pic!  This was the best out of all of them, they were too wiggly!

see!

Then it was time.  We got our buckets and headed out!

Callie knew what to do and went right to work at the neighbors house

After going to a couple houses across the street, we walked down to the Shellenberg’s house!  I love having friends live so close!

Of course they got spoiled and got to choose whichever candy they wanted!

We headed back home to eat, but Callie was SO excited about the other trick or treaters she didn’t stay seated long.  She was a great door watcher and was VERY generous handing out candy (fine by me because I don’t want any left over!)

Chloe had a great time taking the candy out of her bucket and then putting it back in.  I seem to remember Callie liking to do the same thing at this age, cute!

Love spending the holiday’s with these two and seeing the excitement through their eyes is just priceless!  This just gets me really excited about the Christmas season that’s right around the corner!

Halloween- From my phone

Callie at dance- she got her fingers painted with glow in the dark polish! 

After dance we had to make a quick run to Publix.  Did you know that you could trick or treat with them too?!  It was an AWESOME surprise for us.  We went trick or treating in the bakery, dairy, vegetable, and meat aisles! So fun

Chloe got a few pieces of candy as well, but mean mommy wouldn’t let her partake in the eating part.  I don’t think she minded, she like counting her loot just fine!

Callie’s School Halloween Party

Callie continued continued celebrating Halloween by having a party in her class!  I really wanted to check out all the fun so Mrs. Dawne let me stay and take pictures.  I’m so glad I was able to, being a “fly” on the wall in that classroom was great!  I got there a little early, while they were still in music class, to help set up.  Callie typically doesn’t like when I linger in her classroom to talk to the teacher, but when she saw that I was there for the party, she was actually happy about it- yay!  They dug right into their cupcakes and barely ate their cantaloupe and cheese, can’t say I blame them!

While they washed up and got into their stations (we had to wait a couple of minutes because they were going on a trick or treat walk) I walked around the class and admired all the decorations!

Callie happened to be flag holder this particular day- cute!

Dinosaur station- ROAR!

It was time to go on our walk!  They all stood in line and waited patiently while they got their trick or treat bag…

and their “scary” monster masks!

Then it was time to walk! 

I’m so glad I was able to be there and see this cuteness in action!  The other kids in the class even got used to me and started not being so shy around me.  I took WAY more pictures than this because I’m going to send all the pictures to the other parents.  I remember when I had to work and miss these types of things and just wished I could see what went on, hope they’ll get some enjoyment out of it!

Two Little Pumpkins

Well we FINALLY made it to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkin!  Better late than never, right?!  We were meeting Vaughn after work to pick it out and of course I wanted to take pictures of our little outing.  However, one thing I’ve learned after 6 years of marriage, if you want pictures of something, do it before Vaughn gets there.  So that’s what we did, we arrived a few minutes before Vaughn so I could get a couple of pumpkin shots with the girls!  When we got there, the girls stayed close together, scoping out the the pumpkins and other kids running around

Once they realized they could run around and play, game on!

We took a look at several pumpkins to see which ones were finalists to show daddy.  It had to pass a couple of tests…

Weight limit

Huggability

and of course everyone had to agree on it

This little pumpkin was just right to take home, so we did :)

When we couldn’t decided on the PERFECRT big pumpkin, we took a look at the smaller ones

Chloe easily found hers, and wasn’t about to let it go

We were close to breaking down when Vaughn showed up, yay!

We were surprisingly able to quickly settle on one once daddy arrived (amazing how that happens) and happily showed it off!

Love any excuse to go to the pumpkin patch, especially since we got to take some home this time.  Anyone up for a lunch one last time before it closes?!
