Trick or Treat!

It's always fun to watch our kids get dressed up and go trick or treating...this year it was extra fun as we got to watch Andrew experience this tradition for the first time.

He was Superman...he wasn't real sure what to think about his costume..but he went with it...for awhile...then he wanted it off! Oh by the way..yes, that is a tent you see in our back yard..we attempted a camp out the night before...that is a different story...lets just say...we didn't last!

Here are the girls! Supergirl, Rodeo girl, and Minnie Mouse!

 My superheros!

 Kennedy and daddy!

 All three...Andrew not wanting another picture!

 This was our next door neighbor, Byron...it was the first house we went to...We had to teach Andrew what to do... it was so funny.. once he picked candy out of the bucket he threw his bucket down and started trying to open the candy!

 This is big cousin, Jake showing him how to walk to the next house!

This was Andrew the whole night.. he would get a new piece of candy and it would go straight to the mouth..wrapper and all! We finally gave him a sucker to put in his mouth..that worked for a while! After a few houses he got the routine down and had a blast with all the othe kids!! It took him an hour to fall asleep that night!

Boo at the Zoo

Now that soccer is done our Saturdays our free!! Today the weather was awesome so we decided on a trip to the zoo...Although the girls have been it seems like a million times Andrew had no idea what a zoo was...We were anxious to see his reaction...

The girls trying to figure out which way we should go first....

 Hold on!!

 Come to find out...Andrew could have cared less about the animals! Give that boy a rock to climb and he is in heaven!!!

 He did not want to leave the rock area!! Everytime he saw more rocks..guess what he wanted to do!!!

 Kennedy and Mika in a little creepy house!

 Look at my baby birds!!

 OK..so he did like the petting zoo..maybe because the animals were actually close enough for him to see, touch, and yes... taste! He kept saying, "Hi Bella!" to all of them...Bella is our dog.. and apparently everything that has four legs is also named Bella!

 Of all the things to see and do...what kept his attention...doors..that's right..doors!! He loves to try and figure out how things work.

 My sweet Mika LOVED these little goats and they loved her too! I think she just might want one!

I had to throw this picture in...my sweet girl outside with her robe, Burger King crown, and doll...swinging... Love it!

Pumpkin Patch

I took the kiddos to the Rockwall Pumpkin Patch to pick out a couple of pumpkins=)

 Sweet sisters! Andrew...somewhere in the pumpkins!

Andrew wanted to pick all of them up...he didn't really care that they were too heavy!

 I tried! Andrew was more interested in taking Mika's little pumpkin.

My sweet little Mika Moo!

The State Fair of Texas

We did make it to the fair this year...I think it might of actually been the first time we have been since Mika was a baby...we barely made it..the last day...and so did everyone else!

 My sweet Kennedy!

 Mika on one of the rides she picked!

 Andrew on his very first ride...ever!!! Wow! I wish I would have videoed it! You could hear him squealing and screaming from a mile away... When the ride was over he didn't want to get off...his new word learned for the day..."ride"!! Sorry buddy...not when its $3.00 a ride! Maybe next year we will go to Six Flags instead!

 My attempt at all three in front of Big Tex...I chopped his head!

The very best part of the fair....all the yummy food...Mika picked cotton candy...Andrew wasn't real sure what to think of this new food..but kept asking for more anyway!

September

September came and went and now October is almost over....September was a month full of adjustments..both girls in school...getting a homework routine...me going back to work...and Andrew starting school... October... well it was just one of those months! November will be better=)

The beginning of September I took the kids to the spray park...they loved it!

I know this isn't safe....I did put a stop to it.. but I had to get a picture first!

Kindergarten had Nursery Rhyme Day....Mika memorized Little Bo Beep..Her "costume" was actually my Easter dress when I was three... Thanks mom for hanging on to some of my things=)
