november

grace had a program at school the other night...all these second graders are growing up so fast!!!  she's been practicing her songs at home for weeks and she did a great job!

we had family pics taken and i'm super excited to see how they turned out!

these two are becoming some big basketball fans!  of course, cuddling with pouncer doesn't hurt!!!

soccer

carter had a fun first soccer season!

he likes to score!!!

every game "the good guys played the bad guys!"

soccer is way more fun to play when you have friends on your team.

grace hadn't played soccer in a couple of years.

but, she played hard and smart!

she likes to score too!

we're so proud of her for playing her best (which was pretty good!)

a field trip

carter had his very first field trip and he got to ride a bus and everything!

they went to a local farm and played and feed animals and rode a train and hung out with friends and picked pumpkins and had a hayride and the list could go on and on!!!

i'm so glad that i got to hang out with my carter man on his first field trip!

harvest joy festival

we had a super fun afternoon at our church's harvest joy festival.  the kids loaded up on candy from all the trunks, played lots of games, bounced in many inflatables, ate too much junk food, and played with great friends!!!

happy halloween

a banana...yep, she's a banana.  completely her idea.  oh!  lipstick is a must.  last year, she was one of the thousands of elsas.  this year, she was the one and only banana!

hulk...because avengers are awesome.  an avenger who smashes stuff is even more awesome.  plus, it's basically the most perfect costume ever for carter!

now, it's time to go get some candy!!!

we met up with dorothy, the scarecrow, a ninja, and batman (the minion was sick and we were sad).

they don't even need us now except they may not have any idea how to get back home.

checkin' out all the loot!!!

and eatin' it too!

we had another super fun halloween!
