Autumn’s 2nd Birthday Party– Dora Style!
Today we had our families over for Autumn’s 2nd birthday party. Autumn loves Dora (especially Dora’s backpack and Boots!), so I decided to do a Dora theme. Jeremi created this poster at work and I hung it on one of our large picture frames in the living room. So cute! Last night I was up… >> View Post
Feast Day
Today there was a potluck dinner in the church basement for the preschool through first grade classes. I would have brought my Rebel if I had known the kids were going to sing a song before we ate. Nathan is in the preschool 4 class, and they were all turkeys. I must say, Nathan made… >> View Post

Right now, our backyard is covered in leaves and I thought it was the PERFECT cure for the fussies that were going on in our household! Its amazing how fresh air can rejuvenate children!

Halloween
The morning of Halloween, Nathan woke up and said ITS HALLOWEEN! This is the first year he knew it was actually Halloween! Heheh. Of course, I had them in their Gymbo Halloween gymmies. So cute!

Trunk or Treat
Friday night our church/Nathan’s school had trunk or treat and I decided to participate in the trunking! I decided to do a haunted Thomas the train theme, because Nathan LOVES Thomas and we have A LOT of Thomas stuff laying around… so, why not use it and ‘spook’ it up? I had two different trains… >> View Post

Tonight we headed over to Grants Farm for the Anheuser Busch appreciation night. We couldn’t have asked for a better night… for one, the weather was pleasant, and two it was not crowded at all since it was a private event. Oh, and three… it was totally free! Here is the bridge you cross over… >> View Post
