Yaba daba dooooo

My friend Holly had our friend Mayemma make this awesome onesie for E. Isn't it the cutest? It's her face on it and everytime I see it I crack up. Made my day.

We've had a great Halloween. We went to the church Trunk 'r Treat. Eliza was terrified and wouldn't get down. But we had fun anyways. We also went to our awesome family's Halloween party that was a blast. Eliza ate so much sugar she was walking backwards and squealing.

On the actual day of halloween, Eliza trick 'r treated at her daycare, had a halloween party, and got to come trick 'r treat at my work. One lady was giving out whole full-sized candy bars. Eliza was smart and picked out a snickers because she knows what mommy likes. Our friend Holly, or Holla as Eliza calls her, came over and spent Halloween evening with us. Eliza was so tired from her day that she was ready for bed and we never made it out for neighborhood trick 'r treating. So after Eliza went to bed, Kase, Holly, our awesome neighbor Owen (We missed you Brianna), and I sat out by our bonfire and handed out candy. It was fun.

We had a lot of trick or treaters and it was fun. This was my first time handing out a lot of candy to kids. The little ones were so cute. The big teenagers sometimes creepy but usually nice. I made each kid say "trick or treat." Some of them acted like they didn't know they were suppose to say it. One older kid walked up and held out his bag, and I said "What do you say?" He looked really confused and said "Ummm... Please?" While I am glad he was at least polite I was like "NO you say Trick or Treat." He was a teenager, he should at least know that. What is wrong with kids these days? We had a really good time.

I have more pictures but I am too lazy to upload them so I just stole these from other people.

Hope everyone had a happy Halloween!

Ghosts, Bats, Witches, Pumpkins, and Sharks

For Eliza's first Halloween, she had a lot of cute clothes to wear. Her uncle John and aunt Leah L-O-V-E halloween. So they bought her sever super cute onesies which I L-O-V-E-D dressing her in. We prepared for Halloween by wearing these several times....


There is a super cute witch on this one: She also had special P.J.'s just for the occasion. They had bat feet:
We went to our church's trunk-or-treat. So fun. Eliza was the only shark there. I was a scuba diver and Kase was a life-guard. Our car played the Jaws music. You know. The duh duh. duh duh. duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh music:

All that sharking around wore her out: For actual Halloween, Kase was on a boy's trip with his dad and brother. My parents and sister came to visit for the weekend. Eliza loved her Mummy....

And her aunt Melissa.... And her Memaw.....

And her Gran-Pop......

My parent's and sister packed up and left before halloween evening. But Eliza and I loaded up and went to visit Grandma SuperDeb. She made us yummy chicken and dumplings and we relaxed and visited for the evening. I wanted to get pictures of Eliza with SuperDeb, but she (Eliza not SuperDeb) was WAY too grumpy. She was probably mad because she can't eat candy. ha ha. We had a wonderful 1st Halloween together and were so glad when Kase returned home later that night.

I am excited for future halloweens!

Cowboys and Indians

I love fall. It is my favorite season. There are many reasons: the changing colors of the leaves, the crisp air, Halloween, the upcoming holidays, and fall clothes!

I also love all the fun activities that fall brings: camping without all the bugs and humidity, campfires, smores, hot chocolate, trick-r-treating, pumpkins, pumpkin patches, pumpkin carving, and well... I know there is more but I can't think right now. Oh yes. Fall colors. All the warm tones, Reds, Oranges, Yellows, and Browns. I love it.

We've been too busy with school to do much of the fun fall activities but last weekend we did build a fire in our fire pit on the deck. We roasted marshmellows and made smores.






Last night we went to our church's trunk-r-treat (or is it trunk-n-treat? I'm not sure) I was an indian (the native american kind) and k-dawg was my cowboy:


Isn't he cute?


Yes I do realize I look extremely pale, but hey, it goes with the whole halloween scariness thing right?

Also here are my niece and nephew. Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. They are cute:




I would post pictures of the other cute kids like the wizard of oz family or the elephant and cow, but well... that takes way too long. Anyways It has been a good week so far.

Happy Fall Ya'll!!! (no I don't really say Ya'll but it rhymes)
