My Deer Hunters...

Well these are the rewards for spending countless hours in the woods.... 

Dalton was really excited when he came home.  I think he was just ready to get into a warm house!  

 

Dalton doesn't know about this deer, he was at school today when Brian killed it.... He will probably be upset he missed this one. Good job guys! 

Face Painting Gone Crazy

Well, I bought face paint for Olivia's scarecrow costume, but didn't anticipate the sheer temptation that it would bring to my children.  This is the result of kids begging and mommy giving in...  They apparently decided to be UK fans, of course in a mirror the UK can be easily distinguished, I think..  Even after washing it off, Olivia looked as if she had a Kool-Aid mustache.     

Scarecrows and Hunters

Olivia's first grade class performed at the PTO meeting on Thursday.  They were asked to dress as scarecrows.  I'd say it's a really good ploy to get parents to attend PTO meetings, just have their children perform after it's over.  Anyway, it was too cute. 

The Great White Hunters decided to venture to the woods, so I took some photos of them beforehand and told them if they killed a deer that I would post more pics.  No deer, just pics of the excited hunters. 

Notice Dalton's thumb's up, he was excited about going.

Cool hunting gear!!

This is just a random pic.  Apparently anything with a peace sign is cool.  We got these boots from Old Navy on Saturday night and she wore them the rest of the weekend.  I just thought it was such a girl thing to do!

Happy Halloween!

Dalton and Olivia had a blast this Halloween.  I took off Friday and got a few pics of their school parties.  The kids got lots of treats!!  We had a great time Trick-or-Treating on Saturday night.  I think it's my favorite thing all year long.  I love all the people that said "ya'll come on in" and they would bring in some special bag they made for the kids, take their picture and just gush about their costumes.  I look forward to seeing those people every year.  

Olivia and Ms. Monica (she is such a great teacher)

Olivia, Caroline and Lilly

Dalton won one of the Scariest Costume Prizes.  He got a DQ gift card (thanks Laura for the great prize idea).  Dalton has Ms. Becky, she is such a great teacher, too.   

Witch on her broom!!!

I"m scared, how about you??

We always go trick-or-treating as a family, it's always so much fun. 

This was our favortie spook of the night.  

Not sure what Chris was whispering, but it must have been funny!!

Also, Missy, I loved your pumpkins, so cool!!

Happy Halloween!  Hope everyone had a great night!  We even went to a "costume" birthday party on Friday night for one of Dalton's buddies, JT.  The night was filled with bonfires, hayrides, a graveyard birthday cake and good friends.  We had a great time! 

Halloween Treats

Dalton had already snagged a piece before I got a photo.  I really never knew how delicious DQ ice cream cakes were until my mom brought me one for my birthday.  I'm addicted.  Why wait for another birthday to get another ice cream cake?  It was awesome.  We bought this one the other night when we went out for dessert with friends.  Next time, we'll just go and have ice cream cake instead of blizzards!! 

Girl Scouts Bake Sale

Saturday we had a bake sale for Olivia's Daisy Troop at the Bank of Edmonson County.  We had a really good time.  The mommies did most of the selling, but occasionally the girls came to help with the selling, which really made people buy.  One of the mom's made Oreo Balls, crushed up oreos rolled in cream cheese and dipped in chocolate.  I had never had them.  Yummy!!  We had a good turnout. 

Happy Birthday to Me!!

It doesn't seem possible at all to be 36 today....  It's been a good day.  I came home last night and my kiddos had baked me a cake and decorated it and put a big huge 3 and 6 on it.  They are so funny.  It's still sitting at home on the counter ready to eat (unless they have eaten it while I was at work).  Anyway, it's been a good day so far, have had plenty of "Happy Birthdays".  Our boss is taking all of the October birthdays next week to Olive Garden... :-)  Yum!

Brian was still working last night at 12am and he decided to give me a call and be the first to wish me a Happy Birthday.  That was extremely sweet.  I'm so lucky to have such a great family that loves me enough to make this day special.  I even got a beautiful pot of mums delivered at work today from Brian's aunt. 

Tomorrow Brian and the kids will be taking me somewhere to celebrate.  I have no idea what they have in mind.  It doesn't matter, I'll be spending it with my favorite people!
