Two more big weekends!

Life has been crazy - as always!  Three weekends in a row, we've had big things going on.  First, Kylie's birthday, then Jennie's shower and this past weekend, we had all sorts of Halloween festivities to prepare for.  Everything has been so fun but I do feel a little bit of relief knowing that this week I don't have anything to prepare for!!  :-)

But first, a recap of all the fun stuff that has been going on!  Two Saturdays ago, we hosted a shower for Jennie at Megan's house.  It was a big success and so fun!

I wonder how many pictures we have like this one.  I really should dig them all up and put them together.  :-)

While I was at the shower, the kids had a Fall Festival at school.  Waylon got them all dressed up and met Nana and Grandad there.  They had so much fun!!  :-)

Dinosaur and a Kitty Cat!

Big scary Dino Noah!

That Sunday, we had a few people over for chili and to watch the Redskins/Panthers football game.  The kids were wound up and were showing off and had so much fun. 

Kylie usually takes a while to warm up to people but she climbed right up next to Cory to sit and watch football with him. Maybe she knows he's going to be a dad soon.  :-)

Some family playtime during the week last week...  Kylie got this baby doll for her birthday and it cries.  It really concerns her when it does and she does everything she can to make it stop!  :-)  So funny.

Daddy and Noah had to help calm her down.  :-)

Another night, we received a photo book of Disney World from Grammy!  The kids love looking at it.  Thanks, Grammy!

Waylon made Noah a superhero out of 'Toobers and Zots' (another one of Kylie's great birthday presents!)

This weekend was a fun one!  

Noah wanted to go to school Friday because they had a Halloween Party so I took the opportunity to get some errands done.  Friday night, Waylon went to happy hour with some coworkers so Andrea and Savannah came over for some playtime and pizza dinner.  Very fun but didn't take any pictures!

The big fun was Saturday!  We had an (adult!) Halloween party to go to in our neighborhood so Nana and Grandad graciously agreed to keep the kids overnight at their house.  We had such a great time and we hear that the kids did also!  Pics from our party....

Waylon was a 'nerd'.  Noah kept asking what a 'nerd' was.... hmmm.... how do you describe that?

80s girl (who loves nerds)  :-)

Together at the party

Han and Christy - dancing hamsters  :-)

Dr. Pepper and a Facebook wall - so creative!

Silliness

All the ladies!

Conrad and Chris - Too funny!!!  :-)

Kirsten - our gorgeous host and Chris' Trophy Wife

Nana and Grandad took the kids to a fall festival at their church on Saturday afternoon and then to Sunday School on Sunday morning.  They stayed busy and enjoyed it all, I think!!  Noah took a 2 hour nap today (unheard of for him these days!) and Kylie was still sleeping after 3 hours and we finally woke her up because it was 5pm!  Too funny.  :-)

We met them at the mall to do the trade off - for lunch and also to get Noah some much needed new shoes - thanks Nana and Grandad!  :-)

Tomorrow, one more big event... HALLOWEEN!  The kids have a parade at school where they (I) had to make their costumes out of a paper bag.  I didn't know what to do for a while but I figured it out and think they turned out really great!  Stay tuned for pictures of those... :-)  If I knew they would be as good as it turned out, I could have just done that for their 'real' costumes - which they will wear tomorrow night for a neighborhood pre-Trick-or-Treat party and then Trick-or-Treating!!  YAY! 

One more cute pic from tonight.  Noah wasn't so happy about this arrangement but it was still pretty darn cute.  :-)
