"I'm so sick"

It's been quite rainy and gloomy around here, which I'm convinced makes sick kids feel sicker. They've been cooped up, coughing, wheezing, sneezing and snotting....but I still think they're cute nonetheless....

Addie the cowgirl, Holden wearing triple pairs of underwear (just in case!) and Weston with beautiful blue eyes to help offset the green boogery nose!

Halloween Fun

The kids enjoyed halloween again this year. We "made the rounds" on Saturday night, and topped it off with a "halloween party" at Aunt Sherri & Uncle Bob's on Sunday (really a birthday party, but they wore their costumes so Addie decided it was a halloween party!)

Addie was a self-designed ballerina.

Holden was Thomas (what else, right?).

Weston was a froggie (that costume is still cute the 3rd time around!).

We enjoyed trick-or-treating at grandpa & grandma's, the mall, granny & great-grandpa's and Kendra & Kiara's house.

Addie did a great job not eating her candy, and at the end of the night she traded it all in for a new princess barbie!

Holden's 3rd Birthday

It's hard to believe it, but Holden is 3 years old already! He LOVES Thomas the Train (anything Thomas...trains, books, videos, hats, etc.). He also enjoys painting, playing outside, singing & dancing (twinkle toes).

He had several birthday celebrations this year, and he enjoyed them ALL!

Painting Pumpkins

Mama's choice...let's PAINT pumpkins this year!!!
The kids were more than happy with this option.
As you can see, everyone involved took this very seriously!
Weston wasn't too happy to be WATCHING! Maybe next year Buddy!

We may still carve our bigger pumpkins....we'll see ;)

Pumpkin Patch

We finally had some great weather & made it to the pumpkin patch.

We enjoyed a hayride, picking out our pumpkins, petting farm, pony rides, pumpkin train rides & more. Weston's favorite = BIG BOY on the pumpkin train, Holden's favorite = "pictures in the face-hole things" (see picture below!); Addie's favorite = pony ride.

Grandparents & Family Preschool Night

Addie had a special open house at her school last night. She got to invite her Grandparents & family to see her school, classroom and special art projects. She enjoyed introducing us to her teacher and some of her friends, as well as showing us around her school!

Teddy....

Holden wanted me to give a shout-out to his cousin Olivia in NC...
He got to see Teddy this week!

Whenever the topic of a puppy or pet comes up Holden says....
"I don't like puppies....I don't like kitties...I ONLY LIKE TEDDY!!!!"
