Mike and I met my parents for a wedding of a dear, life-long friend of mine. Her parents and mine were young parents together in Pineville when we were all little kids and we will all just love each other forever! It was awesome to see Sarah and Justin get married! Some of the BEST people! Plus, the weather was perfect and it was at a pretty little plantation...just awesome!
Drew had his first kindergarten field trip last Tuesday to the Fire Department and he got in the our car after school so excited! He mostly liked riding the bus with his class to and from the fire department to school...he wants to be a bus-rider so badly...I'm just not ready! He did tell me he learned something new (he'd been before in preschool) and that in case there is a fire and the door is locked or shut, go to the nearest window! His teacher sent me this cute picture!
Susanna had a field trip to the pumpkin patch this week and here she is with some of her classmates showing off their ghosts!
Jillian walked all around, picking up as many "pukins" as she could!
Susanna has been such a helper lately, asking so often if she can help with baking or cleaning. I love that she enjoys it...even if she uses tons of window cleaner!
We prepped for Halloween and all the festivities that go along with it, including class treats! I just made these up on picmonkey (which is my FAVORITE) and I may or may not have eaten too many leftover peanut butter cups and mini fruit roll-ups in the process...come on, you know I have no self-control!
The kids tried on their halloween costumes. They both want to be ninja turtles but neither wants to wear the mask that came with the costumes so I'm just making them little ones for over their eyes...Susanna's will be pink, of course. Jillian might be a kitty cat...I'm not sure yet!
We went to the middle school homecoming game and ran into some cute friends! Our team won and my bestie's son made the last touchdown! It was exciting! We got home at 7:00 pm but I was still able to feed, bathe them, and get them in bed by 7:45 all on my own...whoop!
Sue-sue and I made silly faces one lazy afternoon while Jillian slept and Drew was at school...love her!
We repainted the quest room/nursery...I still need to finish the bedding and get stuff on the walls but I LOVE it!
More costume prep...
We carved a pumpkin for Family Night...a spooky one!
Drew's school hosted a "Mad Scientist" science night! He and Mike went together for a little father/son time...and they both LOVED it!
Our planners came in! They are beautiful! Have I mentioned much about that here on my blog? My best friend Amy and I created day-planners/life-organizers for Christian Moms...and they are beautiful, if I do say so myself! Check them out here!
We went to see my cousin Hannah in her high school play "The Addams Family"...she was Morticia and did an amazing job! The whole time I watched her, I just kept thinking, "when did she become a young woman? wasn't she JUST Susanna's age?!" She nailed it and it was a lot of fun!
We did some donut-eating...Jillian has that down to a science ;)
And DST was awesome in more ways than one...we got to sleep in on Sunday and the kids were getting tired by 6:30 instead of 7:30...we took advantage of that for sure and I was asleep before 10:00 pm!
I'll do a whole Halloween post later...even though we missed Trick-or-Treating because it was moved to Friday due to bad weather and that was the night we went to Hannah's play...but it was a fun one, nonetheless! Now I'm on to Christmas shopping and getting our Thankful Tree ready for Family Night tonight!
