Happy Halloween!

We went over to Coco's house to meet up with all the other kiddos in costume. We loved playing with everyone (and sharing our embarrassments). Happy Halloween and thanks Coco and Ryan!

Pumpkin Carving

While I ate my supper, Dad taught me how to carve a pumpkin. I was very intrigued and kept saying "whoa!" whenever he would show off his fancy knife work. We can't wait until Halloween!

A huge mouth full of ham and mid "Whoa!" - a very sinister look?

I am serious about this

How can I get my paws on that lit candle?

The finished product - go Dad!

Baby, it's cold outside!

Miss Tee and I headed outside today to play in the cold air. It was so chilly, I even kept my pumpkin hat on!

Shep is helping out

This one looks good!

The waterfall is not frozen yet, but our fish probably are!

Rock Ranch

On saturday, we loaded up and headed down to Barnesville, GA for some family fun at the Rock Ranch. It is a public ranch, turned kid-friendly activity zone with a wholesome twist. No bells and whistles about this place, but that is what makes it so neat. We joined the Hamiltons (Porter) and the Schoens (Will) and had a great time!

The cow train (really just half barrels pulled by a riding lawn mower)

Can I have one?

All that runnin' around made me thirsty

Pumpkins

We went to our local patch last week to pick out a few pumpkins for our front steps. It was so festive- I really got in to the spirit!

What's up with this one?
A "kiko" -- what we call a scarecrow

Big teethy smile

October is a popular month to be born!

We have celebrated many birthdays in the past couple of weeks. On Sunday we went to Sage's 6th birthday celebration at PDK airport. All the kiddos loved the playground and watching the birds take off and land. Later that day, we went over to the Healy's to celebrate Lane's 3rd birthday. It was a "construction" theme complete with a mini excavator (that Lance liked more than the kids), a paint-by-numbers playhouse and a hammer the cooler station. Andy loved all the action!

Pace Fair

It would not be Fall without the Pace Fair!

Of course we had to take home some goldfish!

hmmm, don't really know what to think of this giant cow...

First Fair rides, the totally dizzying swings

Learning time with Miss Tee

Miss Tee is so great about teaching me all sorts of new things. Like today, I learned my shapes! She said that I picked up on them very quickly. Thanks for being such a great teacher!

Happy Birthday Mimi!

We hope that you have a wonderful day full of cake and I-keep!
