You've got a Friend in Me

" Yeah, you've got a friend in me."

We are a group of the DEAREST friends since college.

Each year we get together and pick up right where we left off.

We come together for CELEBRATIONS of marriages and births

and HUG each other in times of great trials.

"When the road looks rough ahead...you just remember what your old pal said

Yeah, you've got a friend in me."

Halloween, Halloween...What does it Mean?

It means PUMPKINS AND CARVINGS GALORE!
We carved our pumpkin Friday night. The boys were more interested in playing and running around. Sounds like 2 20 month old BOYS!




It means COSTUME PARADES, TREATS, AND MORE.

We started off the week with Trunk and Treat at church. With a little Froot Loop bribery, we flopped around the parking lot. Which came first...THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG? Thursday was the Costume Parade at school. Dylan was missing his Daddy, so he was a tear-stained egg. After Daddy cuddles, he was fine and they marched around and brought home some yummy treats! (for Mama and Dada!)

CRAFTS AND GAMES.

At "Mom and Tot" school, we have been talking about pumpkins. We visited the pumpkin patch, glued BIG and small pumpkins, played "Where is the pumpkin" hide and seek game, finger painted pumpkins, made pumpkin shakers, and much more!

OH, HaLLOweEn!

Today was so much FUN! We had 50 cent corn dogs from Sonic, got dressed, and went out Trick-or-Treating! The boys did great!! We shook our pumpkin shakers and sang "Trick or Treat." We went by and saw all the church friends in our neighborhood and drove to see Cousin Jon and Krystina. Brody figured out how to suck his way pass the wrapper and get to the CANDY. So tonight we had our 1st piece of candy.

It means a lot of F-U-N!
