Going back to last week - my mom was here for a few days and she helped out on Monday while I worked on the garage a little - we have boxes everywhere in there! She got a few good pictures while she was here...
The kids are really playing together a lot and Noah is such a sweet big brother.
We went to Chick-fil-a for lunch and Kylie and Noah had so much fun in the play area. She wanted to climb all over the place and we got her out of the slide just in time a few times (before some kids came barrelling down).
Noah wanted to be more like the big kids, too... he even came down on his belly a few times.
Then we had to have ice cream of course...
Kylie definitely has a sweet tooth!
Grammy left on Tuesday and we really appreciated all of her help!
Wednesday morning was Noah's Halloween parade at school. He was so excited!!
We dropped the kids off and waited outside for the parade to start...
Maddie is now in a different class so she came by first.
Kylie on the buggy with her friends and teacher watching the parade.
And here comes Noah with his friends! Jackson was Woody and they walked around holding hands the whole time. :-)
After the parade, they had a sing-a-long. It was so cute and Noah was really excited about this part. He's been practicing at home a lot!
The whole school!
Daddy and Nana came to the parade also! Kylie was not happy when Daddy left. :-)
Nana and I went inside to see Noah's class before we took off. So adorable!
Here's a close-up of Buzz and Woody
Thursday night was an NC State game and Waylon went there straight after work so Megan, Jennie, Megan and Ryan came over for dinner and to watch Grey's Anatomy. Lots of fun!
It was funny though, when they came in, Megan put Ryan down on the floor and Kylie went right over to him and tried to 'love' on him. Ryan wasn't quite sure about that and his little bottom lip came out and he started crying. Poor thing... my kids have no concept of personal space!
Noah actually took this picture!!

Friday, the kids and I spent some time outside in the back yard.

They've been enjoying playing together in the house! Today, Kylie rang the doorbell and then put her hand up to her ear and said, 'hay-ooo?' :-)
Such a sweet girl
And this is what I got from Noah when I tried to get a close up of him!! :-)
Eli wasn't a fan!
Walking to the next activity with Evia
They had so many fun inflatable things out there - this one was a tee ball game.
When my mom was here last weekend, she let Noah pick something out from the Halloween section and he picked out a pair of ugly nasty squeaking rats. :-) They named them Ratatouille and Rata-one-ee. :-) Noah has been sleeping with them a lot since then! This is how I found his bed one morning after he woke up....
This past weekend was nice - back to 'normal crazy' for us. We had lots of fun activites but manage to not do any house stuff!
Saturday morning, we went out to Hollyfest - a fall festival in Holly Springs. We actually ended up meeting Evia, Tim, Eli and Cole there... that was a nice surprise that they could come! Megan, Jason and Ryan came near the end of our visit there, too. So fun!
First up - an inside look at a fire truck!
And a visit from Sparky the firedog. Eli and Noah look so much alike, don't they??
Then, they went on a kiddie ride set up out there.
Noah loved it (although this was taken before the ride started - maybe he should have been a pirate for halloween this year cause he sure has the look down!)....
Eli wasn't a fan!

Happy girl in her Halloween outfit.

The guys with the babies :-)
Evia managed to catch this shot - I LOVE it - Kylie just walked up to Noah on her own and gave him a hug. So sweet!!!
More inflatables - Noah loves these now!
and more again

They had a petting zoo out there, too. Oh and she saw a dog and reached and said, 'Doggie!' The words are starting to come faster!

A toast to Josh and Anise! :-)
We relaxed around the house most of the day on Sunday until it was time to head over to the old neighborhood for trick-or-treating! We picked up dinner and ate over at Janet, Frank, Maddie and Mason's house and then played until it got dark enough to go out. Maddie and Noah were so excited - Kylie and Mason weren't quite sure what was going on! :-)
The little ones rode in the double stroller for a while but then wanted to come out.
Kylie really started to get the hang of it near the end - she had a blast!! I was quite surprised cause I wasn't sure how she'd do.
Afterwards, we went to Chick-fil-a for lunch with Eli and crew - always fun times there! Then we got the kids home and in bed and I took off with some girlfriends for some shopping in downtown Apex. That was fun to just get out with the girls for a bit. No luck shopping though!
Saturday night, Waylon's parents babysat and we went out downtown for a going away party for Josh and Anise who moved to Charleston the same weekend we moved. We had such a nice time and we are really going to miss them! Can't wait to visit though!! :-)

Sunday morning, Waylon made a great breakfast and then Noah and I carved a pumpkin!
Then Kylie had to check it out, too.

We got to see lots of our old neighbors so that was fun to catch up after being gone for a few weeks. I wasn't sure how Noah would do going back but he was fine. As we were driving in, he said, 'This is our old neighborhood! We don't live here anymore.' Then as we were trick-or-treating, he saw our old house and said, 'Look mommy! Our house is all decorated for Halloween!' Janet took them up to the house but Waylon and I hung back. We weren't sure what he'd say but all he said was 'I'm Buzz Lightyear!!' :-)
The little ones rode in the double stroller for a while but then wanted to come out.
Kylie really started to get the hang of it near the end - she had a blast!! I was quite surprised cause I wasn't sure how she'd do.
This was funny.... Maddie and Noah were getting candy at this house and Kylie was standing there, too. After a while, she gave Kylie a piece of candy to hold and Kylie turned and walked away, held the candy up in the air and said, 'Bah-bah'!! It was hilarious! It was like she knew exactly what to do. It's funny comparing her now to how she was last year when we took her out trick-or-treating at 2 weeks old! Crazy...
Mason had had enough about halfway through and fell asleep so he went home early and the big kids were fading by the end also! Everyone had a blast!!
Then it was back to their house to get on jammies and pick out 1 piece of candy to have before bedtime.
Kylie fell asleep on the way home and I thought Noah was going to fall asleep with a lollipop in his mouth but he stuck it out until we got home. They were both exhausted and happy! What a fun night!!
