Pumpkin Pickin with Mimi

Today was the perfect day to go to the pumpkin patch..the weather was nice and cool and the kids were well rested from their nap. We went to our usual spot from last year and Mimi and Uncle Chase also got to join us!

Randy's Pumpkin Patch!


They were so excited to be at the pumpkin patch!

Fun fall evening!

Here are some pictures of the kids and pup enjoying the fall weather!

These two love to be outside!

And so does Gracie!

In the Halloween Spirit!

The kids and I could not wait to get out the Halloween decor this year!! I have missed the fall weather and the smell of pumpkin pie candles and not to mention the pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks!

And the candle is lit!

My mom use to set this ghost out every year for Halloween and passed it down to me!! I love it!

Outside decor..now all we need to do is go to the pumpkin patch.

Spooky Witch!!

We are definitely ready for Halloween around here!

Our favorite place!

Saturday night I had drill so we decided to treat ourselves to our place to eat..Chick-fila! Here are some pictures of the kids enjoying their chicken.

Someone anxiously awaiting his chicken nuggets!

He loves his daddy...

and of course..JUICE!

Meanwhile, Miss Layla was also waiting on her chicken nuggets.

And was very happy once they came!!!

The Fair!!!!!

Last night Al and I loaded up the babies and went to the Gwinnett County Fair for the first time as a family! Carter had so much fun riding some of the rides and eating some nice greasy fair food. Due to long lines, we really didn't get to ride that much but we sure did enjoy the petting zoo!

Someone super excited about going to the fair!!! Carter talked about going all day!

Miss Priss all decked out for the fair!

Our view from the car!!!

Carter riding on the cars. At the end of the ride, he told the fair lady that he was not getting off and wanted to ride again..haha. I had to go and get him.

Carter riding the kiddie ferris wheel! I couldn't really get a good shot of him on this ride. Just know that half way through the ride he had to get off due to a new fear of heights.

Carter with the donkey!

The piggies!

Little chicks!

Ducklings!

Baby calves! We can't wait to go back to the fair next year and preferably on a week night.

Another appreciated TGIF!

Friday could not have taken longer to get here this week! Here are some pics of my munchkins and our new pup winding down.

Carter and Gracie...these two had way too much energy for two little ones that were suppose to be winding down.

Somehow Carter ended up with the dinosaur in his mouth with the dog chasing him..what is wrong with this picture?

Someone gets a little overly dramatic when Gracie gives her kisses especially on days we didn't nap at school.

Ah...I think we are finally settling down.

Or not.....

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Curriculum Night 2011

Last night was Carter and Layla's curriculum night at the church. The teacher's had nothing but great things to say about my naughty pair that I was so shocked (not really..they are pretty sweet kids). We started off our evening with a spaghetti dinner served with garden salad and garlic bread provided by the church and then we were released to their classrooms!

Carter on his first curriculum night! He sure was proud to show his Mama his classroom and projects!

Carter and his friend, Will!

Micah and Will being silly while we were waiting to get some spaghetti.

Carter's classroom!

These charts represent listening and following directions..as you can see Carter and his buddy Will have some catching up to do.

Then we ventured on to Miss Priss's room..Layla stayed home with Daddy but Carter and I sure loved hearing about our sweet baby girl.

Her little cubby.

Layla's special birthday cake for when she turns two and gets to move up to another class.
