Revenge Of The Nerd

The week before Halloween, the kids school had a week dedicated to different themes about saying NO to drugs. You know, like "Put a cap on drugs" where the kids could wear hats to school, and so on. One day, they had "Outsmart drugs, dress like a nerd" day!

Ethan didn't want to dress up, but Emily was excited to! Here are a few pics I took that morning.

Also, she woke up with pink eye in her right eye and couldn't go to school this particular day. She was so disappointed, so I dressed her up anyway to take her picture!

Halloween catch up!

Holy Cow! What a week I've had.

I'm gonna try and catch up with Halloween pics.

Here is Emily's iron-on I ordered off of Etsy.

Here's the shirt after I put the iron-on it!

I managed to make some ghost cookies for my kids after school program Halloween party.

Here is Emily's Thanksgiving iron-on.

Here's what the shirt looks like.

I ordered the iron-ons from here! They are so cute and really easy to apply to shirts!

Halloween 2011

I had such nice plans to celebrate Halloween this year and I ended up getting sick, sick, sick. I'm just now starting to feel better. So for now, here are the pics of the kids I managed to take after pulling myself off the bathroom floor. On an added note, my husband is a saint! Literally. He completely took over for me while I was sick. OK, on with the pictures...

My ninja!

My vampire queen!

Welcoming Fall, Part 2!

Last weekend we attended our little town's fall festival.

We stopped by the classic car show.

Ethan loved this one!

We went to the carnival!

Emily rode a pony. She was not in a happy mood because I made her wear the dress she had on.

We went to a petting zoo.

A pot bellied pig.

Ducks!

Turkeys!

I'm really not sure what she's petting!?

Snow cones!

 

 

Ethan saw his friend Jonathan there! There are two adorable little boys.

Again, it was HOT! But, we had a great day and I hope we made some great memories for my kids.

Welcoming Fall!

We're doing our best to welcome Fall in HOT Texas weather!

The kid's school held a fall festival on Friday night! They had  lots of fun.

Emily got a tattoo!

A little puppy.

Emily got a tinsel in her hair. Ever heard of such a thing? Literally, a piece of tinsel was knotted in her hair.

Ethan showed off his basketball skills!

Emily also got her fingernails painted,  Ethan played a game of ring toss and ate a bunch of cotton candy, but the highlight of the night was the rock wall they both got to climb.

 

On Saturday, I took Ethan to Cub Scouts belt-loop day. He went to three different stations and learned about three different things to earn some beltloops; helping people with disabilities, geology & learned about another culture.

Ethan in the geology group learning about different rocks.

 

Later on in the afternoon, I took the kids to the pumpkin patch and we had a blast!

On our way to the pumpkin hunt!

Nothing says Fall in Texas like snow cones!

I told her to be a serious clown for this picture!

Ethan telling me how they made the snow cone!

Emily painted her pumpkins!

 

Ethan didn't want to paint his pumpkins. He wanted to work on his snow cone.

Last, they pet the goats.

We had a great, warm fall weekend here in Texas. They say a cool front is coming next week! I can't wait!!!
