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.

Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch!!!

A few weekend before Halloween we went out to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. Shannon told us about this awesome place so we thought we would try it out even though it was pretty far from our house. This place was really neat and there was a lot to do for the kids and the best thing of all was it was all FREE!!!!! The parking was free, the face painting was free and all the other activities were free. They had a ton of bounce houses and hay rides and mazes for the kids. We will definitely be going back to this pumpkin patch next year. I hear they have a Christmas Tree farm and lots of things to do for Christmas starting the day after Thanksgiving so we will probably be checking that out. There are a ton of pictures on this post so enjoy!!!

Halloween Pj's

I haven' t blogged in a while but we really haven't been doing much around here. The weather has been cruddy lately so we have been in the house A LOT lately. I wanted to share some pictures of the really cute pajamas I bought the kids. The story behind these are really funny. We have a tradition in our house where every Saturday we go get donuts. One Saturday a mom walked in with 3 boys and a girl and they all had on these pajamas. The conversation between two boys made me laugh so hard. It was one of the best conversations I had ever heard. It went a little like this:

Boy 1: Can you believe people don't even know we have our pajamas on!

Boy 2: I know! It is crazy!

Boy 1: Yeah, do you have underwear on?

Boy 2: Yeah, what kind are yours?

Boy 1: Fruit of the Loooooom!

It was so funny because they thought they were so sneaky in their pj's and then boy 1 actually pulled his underwear out of his bottoms to show boy 2. I laughed about that all day.

So I found the pajama's at Gymboree! They both love wearing them and they glow in the dark. BONUS!!!

We have our annual Halloweenie Roast coming up on Halloween Night. We have permission this year from the City of Wylie Police Department so close down the street so it will be safer for the kids. We will have hot dogs and witches brew for all the kids and adults. I am pretty excited about it and will have plenty of pictures to post of the Roast!!!

Story Time

Every Wednesday Shannon takes the kids to Story Time at the Wylie Library. The kids absolutely LOVE story time!! Last week after every story and song Walker and Georgia were making everyone laugh by clapping and cheering after each story was read. This was Walker and Ellie this morning trying to patiently wait for 9:30 AM to get here so they could go. Apparently the theme in our house this morning was boots. Ellie had her pink ones on and Walker had on the Cow Rainboots. They didn't stay on very well and he couldn't walk very well in them but he thought they were really funny.
