Spring Trails Fall Festival

We were very sad that our church was not able to have a fall festival this year, but glad we were invited to another fun night with friends!   The Kuhn's live in a very nice neighborhood with many young families and they held a fall festival for the kids.  It was complete with a breezy hayride, nighttime movie, pizza for all, lots of candy, and good friends.  We even ran into some people that I grew up with that live in the neighborhood also!  Thank you Kuhns for inviting us to a very fun evening!

The Kuhns were Alvin, Simon, and Theodore!  Too cute!!!

 Hayride time!

Claire was there too!  She was a beautiful bride!

Carving Pumpkins

We enjoyed carving pumpkins this year!  It was fun because Brooklyn is very into creative and crafty things and she took it upon herself to tell Daddy exactly where to cut and what shapes to cut out to create our family pumpkin!  She was so proud that it came out great and it was "exactly what I wanted in a pumpkin!"  Colson enjoyed putting his feet in the seeds and getting his feet dirty!  I cannot say the seeds turned out good after cooking....WE BURNED THEM!  But live and learn!  No biggie!

Storybook Parade

Yesterday at school, both of the kids had a fun storybook parade.  All of the students, including the babies, got all dressed up and paraded on the first floor of the high school where their Early Learning Academy is held.  It was fun to see the kids excited and all of the parents who got to come and watch the fun.  The big kids went to a story time in the library and the smaller kids went to class and read books with their parents. 
It was a great start to a fun weekend and we are so thankful for ELA!

Cat in the Hat and Minnie Mouse!

Mommy was dressed up for her school too!  She was Peter Pan!

Colson's Time at the Church Picnic

We had a really fun time at our church picnic a few Sundays ago when we didn't have AWANA!  There were kids playing everywhere, horseshoes flyin', volleyballs being spiked, and tons of food and friends!  I always knew where Colson was because his hair glowed white in the sun!

Cooking with Class

In Brooklyn's Pre-K class, they do a program called "Cooking with Class."  They get to make a different thing each week and the students take turns being lead chefs in groups of 3.  Brooklyn was so excited to bring icing for her turn and she got to help make Edible Eyeballs!  She was thrilled to be a lead chef with two of her good friends, Sophia and Sam!  We just love Mrs. Sanford and all of her teachers and feel like she is just learning so much!!!

Decorating for Fall

Every year the kids love helping me put out a few fall things in the house!  This year was no exception!

A Saturday at Dewberry Farms

For the first year we were able to go to Dewberry Farms in Brookshire, TX.  It was such a blast!!  The Heemers invited us to go with them this year after they went last year and had a great time.  It was so fun for the kids and us!!!  We had a blast bouncing on the Bouncing Pillows, Colson got to ride his first pony, Brooklyn loved the Black Hole Room, we all were amazed at the room with over 500 lit Jack o Lanterns, and enjoyed the corn maze!  We had a great time with great friends...thank you for the invite Jennifer.
