Playing in Leaves!!

We have had an unusual amount of leaves this year in our yard and we thought it would be fun to rake them up and let the kids play in them. They really liked it and had a ton of fun on a very nice fall day in Wylie.

Can you find Ellie's monkey in this picture?

Laying in the leaves with her monkey!

They were distracted with the neighbor's dog at one point

They also found their puddle jumpers (life vest). These things are awesome!!!

Halloweenie Roast 2009

We had our 2nd annual Halloweenie Roast this year on Halloween night! It was a ton of fun this year. We had permission from the City of Wylie and the Wylie Police Department to shut down part of our street so it would be safer for the kids! It was such a great thing to do and we will definitely be doing that again next year. We served 92 hot dogs this year!!! Ellie and Walker and their friend Georgia we all garden gnomes for Halloween this year. They were so stinking cute. Walker was not very fond of the beard but after Shannon talked to him for a little bit about it he ended up leaving it on all night. He was the cutest gnome ever!!!! Ellie did really good with leaving her hat on all night as well. Trick or treating was a lot of fun this year as well. They both pretty much understood what we were doing. Walker really did not want people to put stuff in his bag, he really wanted to do it himself. I don't think he realized that we were going to multiple houses but one he figured that out he was running to the next house. It was really funny. Once again there a a ton of picture to this post.
