Thanksgiving, Halloween and more...

Once again, I'm so far behind and can't remember all that's been going on around here!


Megan has been loosing teeth like crazy this month. In 3 weeks, she lost 3 teeth!! She is now missing her two top front teeth and I think she looks so cute!!

Lots of fun things going on around here...



She had a Halloween Party at school last week and I was able to help out for it. I love helping out in her class and just being around all the kids. The kids played a bunch of games at the party and they all dressed up in their costumes. Then they got to have a yummy feast of snacks!! The kids were all so well behaved and had so much fun



I even got dressed up and went as Minnie Mouse...

The evening of Halloween, we had some friends come over for pizza and then we headed out down our cul-de-sac to do some trick or treating. We only have about 10 houses on our street and it's the perfect amount! After that we went to one of the churches in town to see a concert by Dougy Dug Dug!! The kids sing worship songs of his in Kids church, so they were super excited to see him in real life!





It's been so nice outside lately and the leaves changing color are so beautiful. I took some pictures of the kids in the backyard the other day before it got too cold out...
Taking pictures of 3 little kids is no easy task....





Gabby starts her speech classes this week. I went to a parent info meeting last week and I think it will be a great program for her. She goes once a week for an hour for six weeks. There will be 2 speech pathologists for every 5 kids. They go to stations like crafts, games, etc. and the kids interact with their parent and speech helpers to determine what sounds they need to work on.

I've been doing some home decor projects around here. I love going to thrift stores and finding things I can redo or paint. I painted a little sofa table I bought a few weeks ago and last week I bought a little round side table that I'm going to paint and distress. I will take some pictures when it's done.

I think I forgot to blog about our Thanksgiving weekend! My brother came up for the weekend and it was SO nice to see him and we got to hang out a lot. We did Thanksgiving dinner at our house this year and it was really fun. My brother did the Turkey and our mom's both brought things, so it was pretty easy for us!

On the Saturday morning, my family headed out to Davison Orchards for the morning. They had all their pumpkins on display!! We went on the tractor ride to the pumpkin patch and the kids loved the petting zoo.










We also went to a pumpkin patch in town a few days later with some friends! It was in the afternoon one day, so it was pretty quiet and the kids had a blast. We went on another tractor ride at this farm too...









I can't believe we are into November already!! I've started Christmas shopping and I'm almost finished getting everything for the kids. They are so easy to buy for. This year, we are just buying them each one bigger gift and then stocking stuffers. I really want them to remember the real reason we celebrate Christmas!!

Whew...ok, that was a blog post with tons of pictures!! Hope you enjoyed them!!
