School Field Trip

Dewberry Farms - Take 2
Samantha's Preschool had a field trip to Dewberry Farms. We invited Grandma & Papa to tag along since it was their first time to go. It was quite a cold day, but we were able to get to the things we didn't do last time. In fact, I'm pretty sure we didn't miss an activity. First ones in...last ones out!Cow Milking with DaisyTractor PullZipline

Happy Halloween!

Mary Beth & Emilynn
Spooky Dinner in a Pumpkin
Trick or Treating. This is about the only house Alayna went to. She just wanted to dig through her pumpkin and play with the candy...so unfocused!Blake's Mom's Halloween Cookies. Not a great picture, but it is true to form: Melissa is always in charge of frosting colors. Deesh is entertaining Sam. And Sam eats & licks & snitchels.Jahnavie and Arjun have spent every Halloween with us since Sammie was 2.
Boo to You!
Thank you to Grandma for coming over this afternoon to get everything ready. Not sure I could do much of anything without her!

On the way to the pumpkin patch, Sam drew a picture of her perfect pumpkin. She scoured the entire lot to find the right one!

Trunk or Treat

Just as I was about to be convinced it would be hot and humid until Thanksgiving...tonight (of all nights) was freezing! We're talking, like, 60 degrees people! Frigid! Actually, I think we were in the 50s once it was dark...but cold for Texas.Samantha and her buddies. They basically ran around like a bunch of crazies until it was dark.
Like I said...crazies.
Alayna was loving the ring toss game.
Seriously, of all the bows in the world...this is the ONE she didn't try to take off!
