Halloween 2012

The Carlton's once again, invited us to their house this year for Trick or Treat.  We were so excited to have Andy join us this year!! Andy's last job had him out of town for Sarah's last two Halloween's. Sarah really got "it" this year.  When she woke up that morning, first words out of her mouth: "Mommy, we going to Kyleigh today after school to say 'Trick or Treat' and get candy!!"  She was one happy kid!!

Our cute little Tinker Bell
 (a costume she picked out after watching Peter Pan many, many times)

Kyleigh "Pink Lady" and Sarah "Tinker Bell"



Gang's all here!



Got my bucket, got my smile...Let's GO!

 

Wagon buddies.


 

First stop.  Sarah had been practicing her "Trick or Treat" and even told me she would say "Thank you" after she got candy.  Did I mention how excited she was??



Crackin' me up!  After she would get candy in her bucket, she would have to stop right then and there to see what her treat was.



Look at those big girls...going all by themselves.

"Hmmm...no one told me the candy bucket was going to taste good too!"



Chauffeur Daddy.



Crazy happy this girl!!

  

Meanwhile back at Michelle's, the grandparents were handing out goody bags to the trick or treaters.



These two were having a blast "brushing" their teeth with the toothbrushes Michelle put in the goody bags.

 Best Halloween to date!  Sarah was amazing.  Daddy was home.  Grandma joined us. Great weather. Fun with friends.  And pure joy on my child's face the entire time.  Couldn't ask for more.

Frankenstien - ette!

Another adorable shirt made by Grammy!! This time...Frankenstein-ette!  Sarah loves her shirts made by Grammy!

Boo at the Zoo

With and LSU open date this weekend, there were plenty of fall activities to participate in in the greater Baton Rouge area...We decided on Boo at the Zoo. This was our first time to Boo at the Zoo. Jocelyn had mentioned that they were going and invited us to join them.  The Felders even joined us with baby Bradley first trip to the zoo....he slept mostly, but I think he enjoyed himself. It was so much fun.  You know we love a trip to the zoo!

First attempt at a group pic of the kiddos.  Baby Keaton was a little monkey and Ashlyn and Brooklyn were her bananas!  Baby Bradley was just cute as could be in his little Halloween outfit. And Sarah was Tinkerbell.

 

Big girl getting in the candy line all by herself!  Amazing how quick she caught on to this concept...candy is a good motivator!



Sarah knows our zoo routine too well.  As soon as we got to the pond, she was ready for daddy to take her to feed the turtles.



Sarah with Ashlyn and Brooklyn.



Felders!! Yea! Out and about!!



Sucker in hand, family pic.  At each stop Sarah would taste a new sucker...I don't think she ever finished one before getting another!



Daddy, Sarah ....and a new sucker!




Brooklyn taking on the bean bag toss.



Monkey and her bananas!  Too cute!!

 

Oh my what a cute little monkey!!

Boo at the Zoo!!!


Our little zoo did such a great job with this event.  The zoo was packed and now I know why.  We had a great time and I am pretty sure we will try to make this a yearly Halloween event. 

Almost time...

For Christmas that is!  Sarah loves to go through the American Girl Doll catalog when it comes in the mail.  Thanks to my friend Missy, we now get them more than we should ;). Well the Christmas catalog came in the mail and Sarah was just smitten!!!  So tonight when we got home from the DSHS football game, she was ready to sit down and go through the whole thing.  "Tell me about this doll mommy."  "Look at this one!" and don't forget "I want this one!" And on and on.  Not sure we are ready for the "real" thing this year, but it will be so much fun when the time comes!

Photo Drop Friday!

Halloween Peeps!

Sarah's Great Uncle Eddie sent her a treat...Halloween Peeps!! We didn't even know this little treat existed...thank goodness for uncles!  As you can tell, the treat was a big hit!

Carson turns 2!

We traveled to Eunice, La today for Carson's 2nd birthday! Sarah was super excited to be able to see Carson and Gracie again today!

Sarah and Gracie.
