October Recap!!


We Carved pumpkins this week at Aunt Lisa's house. The kids were eager to grab the knives and cut but when it came to pulling out the guts not so much!!

Connor put his hands in and pulled them out quickly. The boys had a great time with their cousins!



YOU PUT HIM IN ONE MICKEY MOUSE COSTUME AND THE ATTITUDE EMERGES! As for the dress well Connor enjoyed it. We are still undecided on the Halloween costumes. Carson's school parade is on Friday!










We took our annual trip to the orchard for fresh baked cider and doughnuts!









Grandma and Grandpa said goodbye to us and drove to Texas for the winter. Their sledding are over!!! They live in a nice retirement park not far from South Padre Island. We are hoping for an early spring so their motor home rolls into town early this year!







The October birthday list!!!! Carson 13Th, Me 16Th, Connor 21st, Cliff (papaw) 18Th, cousin Stephanie 11Th!!! Birthday's are endless in October. My husband gave me an Ipod, some cool picture frames, and two dozen of krispie kreme doughnuts!!




The boys got their fair share of sugar and gifts too!! Carson wanted Ice cream cake on his actual birthday...and for the party mamaw made her delicious ho-ho cake!










Spider man cupcakes! Red frosting Prompted me to hand out rags to parents for when the kids were finished eating at the party!! There were 13 kids at the party!! Thirty two people in all in MY HOUSE! We ordered a 6 ft long sub from tubby's and I made veggie and fruit trays! Toni made Pasta salad and we had just enough food! We always do!



This was the first year I attempted this...The pinata was a ton of fun!! It took forever for it to bust open! All the kids went crazy hitting it! Not one person was attacked with the bat!! I packed the treasure trunk with four pounds of candy plus other gifts and gave the kids their own buckets! I think the candy was on the floor for all of 2 seconds before they had it cleaned up! If I could only get my boys to clean up their toys that fast! I love a basement for this reason! The kids played in the bounce house down there and the adults played ping pong! We also played football outside! when the party was over Carson gave me a great big hug and said "this was the best party ever mom!" That made all the work worth it!



















The kids officially have way too many toys!!! ahhhhhhhhhhh! Charlotte and Victoria Carson's girl friends came and that was a great present for Carson! Chey and Ethan are such hams for the camera (bottom right). They will be coming out for a weekend to stay with us!













Brandon (Craig's cousin) got married to his little woman Stacy this month! Craig was the best man. The wedding was beautiful.













This is our new red paint color that took 6 coats of cover the wall. The other walls are a off white color. Craig and I painted the computer room and living room before the kids birthday party. Also this month I had my wisdom teeth out...all four of them!!! They put me under for the surgery and all went well! Yesterday Craig won radio tickets for opening day of the pistons so he took Carson to his first game! Carson had a smile plastered on his face the whole time! It was an adorable father son moment! No cameras aloud in the Palace!
