Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving at our house. Memaw was working so Paw came over along with Shane's Mom (Nana) and Joseph. Shane was a huge help entertaining the children while Nana and I got things ready. After they finished cleaning the garage, they did plenty of swinging and sliding. Yeah Dad!

I think the kids really enjoyed it being at our house because there was plenty to do after lunch:)

Of course they all had several turns on the zip line. Some children share better than others.:) Reagan had a few melt downs when she had to take the harness off and share. She thinks things should ALWAYS go the way she wants them too and I think she could zip line all afternoon if we let her. She loves it!!

The kids also enjoyed showing off thier favorite sleding spot. (a big ditch just in the woods behind our house) Who needs snow when you have leaves? It was a great day!

Holy Cross Progam

I had a great time Tuesday when I was able to take some time to see Hayden's Thanksgiving program at preschool.

The little Indians and Pilgrims preformed many Thanksgiving songs. It was a really treat to see Hayden in his school environment. He absolutely loves going to school.

This is Hayden with his best buddie Park!

Lunch with an Indian

Memaw was off on Thanksgiving lunch day this week and was able to go eat with the cutest Indian ever. Paxton was very excited (do not be fooled by the body language in the picture). I do not think that he was pleased with me for showing up with the camera. They were sitting at the table with two of his best buddies and their guest. He is more sensitive to whether or not something is cool than his little brother Hayden.

Good Hunting

It was a very good weekend for hunting. Dad got a very nice eight point this morning. It was a big deer and he was very happy with it:)

The boys went out with Shane yesterday afternoon and had a very successful hunt. I think that it was a small miracle that Shane was able to shoot this eight point. I can only imagine what it was like up in the stand leading up to this.
The boys were beyond excited with their prize!

Stuff

Those of you that know Reagan know that she normally has no time for fixed hair. This weekend since she was not feeling well, she was still long enough to have her hair fixed. She was my little trooper:)

She also realized that if she sat still long enough maybe she did like that furry red guy.

This morning as Paxton and I went out to help send Hayden, Reagan, and Shane off, we noticed that the cats were not the only breakfast guest we had. This little mouse was just hanging out by the door. I do not know what type of deal he had made with the cats, but they were just walking around him letting him stay. They are normally quite the hunters. The patio usually only has dead mice or moles on it. This was the first live one I have seen. Funny!

Halloween

OK I have these pictures totally backwards. I am not a pro at this computer stuff sorry. This was really the end of the night. Tinker Bell and my skeleton had had too much fun.

This spook was also down for the count. I think that a good time was had by all:)

Paxton wanted to be very scary so I did my best. He looks creepy to me! Hayden's costume was my first attempt at really making one. He wanted to be a skeleton (but does not like really scary things yet) and it was hard to find one that was reasonably priced. I was happy with my handy work. Wish that it was used for more than just a few hours.

It was hard to get everyone together this year, so I hope you get the idea even though my fairy was taking flight.

Tinker Bell really like herself. I think she was star struck.

Of course at our house for some reason painting is connected to Halloween. This year we used some rocks to create pumpkins to decorate and give to Memaw.

The boys were very proud of their handy work. They turned out very cute!
