Fright Night 2009

...ok....so I have been REALLY bad about keeping our blog current...
...please bear with me as I play 'catch-up'...again...

Aiden was a vampire this year and Brigg was a skeleton. Kenzie was a punk for the party at church and a cave girl for a party at her friend's house. We didn't get any pics of Kenzie. She said, "We'll take some later'....which in our house usually equates to not doing it at all ~
 Lauren decided she wasn't going to dress up this year.

Fall Festivities

Last week Aiden's Pre-K class took a field trip out to the local 'Corn Maize'. We walked through the maze plowed into the corn field, enjoyed a picnic lunch, rode the cow train, took a hay ride and saw a couple of animals. Even though the wind was blowing 50 mph that day [in typical Lubbock fashion] it was nice to be able to join his class and see him having fun with his friends. Luckily, a friend offered to take Brigg for me that morning; I'm not sure he would have lasted very long!

The kids dressed-up Monday night for our annual Fall festival and 'Trunk-or-treat' at church. Lauren was Pocahontas, Aiden was Sir Lancelot and Brigg went as Elvis. Aiden is excited because they get to wear their costumes to school this year. In the past, they have always done a 50's Day. I bought a cute costume for Mackenzie, but of course she and I were butting heads and she decided not to dress-up in the outfit that I bought her. [...Instead, she went as a sassy teenager : )...]

Last night, we carved pumpkins. Aiden helped clean out his pumpkin this year [last year, he wouldn't touch the insides] and did a lot of it by himself. Lauren did almost her entire pumpkin all by herself; she was very patient. Kenzie cleaned-out her own pumpkin, but was not so patient. I traced and carved her design for her. It was all too much excitement for Brigg. He ended up in bed and missed out on all the fun ~
