They settled in there class room to enjoy fun games and activites. lastly they goobled down delicious treats! It brought back so many memories for when I was a kids!

Pumpkin carving!

The family carving time! We managed to cut the tops off and clean 3 out of the 5 pumpkins before the little boys headed to bed. David and I stayed up and finished carving the spooky faces! David did a great job carving his and daddy's pumpkins' faces! He is growing up so fast and being so independent!

Cupcakes for Halloween

The boys and I decorated cupcakes for Halloween! They did an excellent job being creative with the sprinkles and candy! They were very spooky! I made pumpkin and spider cupcakes. I found a website on how to make these cool spider cupcakes. First I took chocolate chips, melted them and put the chocolate in a ziploc bag. I cut a corner of the bag, making a small hole. I maked 2 u shapes, one inside the other on wax paper. I did that 2 times and then made and oval in between and filled it in. I refridgerated them until I was ready to use them. To make the web, I used the chocolate and made 3 circles. I took a tooth pick and drug the chocolate through each circle! Super easy and fun!!!

Green Slime!

The boys and I made slime today! It's amazing how much fun water and cornstarch can be. I think I had more fun playing with the slime then the boys did!

1 cup water
1 cup cornstarch
a little colored paint
mix together and you have slime!

My stud, baby P

My little boy was playing cars, while eating cereal and wearing his hat backwards. He was so cute, that I had to take pictures!

ALZ walk 2011

A beautiful day for a walk to help end Alz! We met up with our Friend Ash and her son today for the walk. This year they were giving out flowers for the walkers. Yellow stood for someone you know with ALZ, Purple is for someone you have lost with ALZ, and Blue was for the walkers with ALZ. Of course Ash and I had to get a Blue flower to walk with! The boys had fun playing games, decorating masks and eating lots of candy. Even SpongeBob was there!!!!

mom,
Today was very difficult! The walk was different then passed years. This year I had to walk "in memory" of you instead of "in honor" of you! It hurts and I hate this feeling of grief! I miss you everyday and know that you are looking down on us and are always with us in our hearts! Please give me the strenght to get through this!

Fire station trip

D had his first field trip to the fire station. J was able to go and enjoy the trip. After touring the fire station, the kids went to the park to eat lunch and play!
