Snuggle Bug Fall Festival 2012

The Saturday before Halloween Ryder had his school Fall Festival out at one of the little girl's house.  It was the perfect place for it...there were games all the kids got to play, a four-wheeler wagon ride, the yummiest hot dogs and treats, a fire pit for smores, and even a hay ride at the end!  We were so glad that KeeKee & Poppy got to go with us!

The parents were encouraged to dress up to...so we were pirate together!  ;)

He loves being with all his friends so much!  But he is such a WILD man around all them!  It's kinda funny!

He was seriously OBSESSED with this elephant peanut game...he would NOT stop feeding that lil elephant!

& Ryder's best friend at school, Dexter

This family won best family costume!  Can't you even believe?!  SO creative!  =)

We wrapped Poppy up in toilet paper & won!!

After he saw us wrap Poppy up...he wanted us to wrap him up too!

We also did a sack race...& won that one too!  ;)

We had a lot of fun, & R is still talking about the party!  =)  Such a special place with such special people!

 R grabbed dress socks to put on before bed & insisted on wearing them, and then insisted on wearing them like this because this is how Poppy wears his dress socks!  ;)

 We woke up with a few man problems & luckily I had time to take him to Dr. before I had class...got things situated & off to school!

 I got wild man from school after he stayed the night with his Mimi & he was wearing one of his new shirts from Hawaii!  I'll let you read it...haha!  :P

 Mommy was on Fall Break--so R stayed home with me all day Thursday!  We had a fun park date & it was seriously 85 degrees!  So nice!

Before heading out to Snuggle Bug's Fall Festival!  So much fun!

ARRRRGGG!--Halloween 2012

I witnessed this on my drive to Maumelle this morning... #nofilter

It was pajama day at school...instead of the kids wearing their costumes and getting them messed up.  R looked pretty funny in his camp PJs and cowboy boots!  I picked him up from school & then we went up to Poppy's bank to get everybody's costumes out!  The theme this year was "The Haunted Mansion" so things were a bit scarier than normal!

Poppy was Dracula, but R wouldn't let him put his teeth in!  Ha!

We went home and took a nap...and then go up and got ready for a fun night of Trick or Treating with Poppy!

This was our first year to actually take R out to houses around the neighborhood, and not just around town to friends' houses...he loved it though & we are so glad that Poppy went with us!

He had it made in that wagon!!

We made it back to KeeKee & Poppy's for some Chinese takeout & R got to have his first fortune cookie with he LOVED!  He is already planning his Halloween costume for next year!  ;)

Family Fall Fest

Last weekend, I put together a little Fall party for our extended family at mom's house.  We hadn't seen everybody in a while and needed to celebrate a few birthdays and I wanted the kiddos to get to paint pumpkins or something festive!  So...that's just what we did!  We had a couple of different soups for lunch, rum cake, lemon pie, bunko buns & pumpkin bars!  Perfect fall menu!  Afterwards we all headed outside to paint!  It was a lot of fun & I look forward to doing it again in the future years!  R did really well, I was proud! ;)

Everybody was very creative with their pumpkins...I was quite impressed!  I loved Karleigh's chevron one & she even did a Freckle Face Farm one too!  =)

Can you tell what I was in the process of making?!  ;)

Linda Sue got all the kids little Halloween goodie bags that had these fangs in them...well all the big kids were scaring R with their fangs in, so I just told him to get his & put them in & scare them back!  So...that's what he did!  He looks SOOO funny...as you can tell & was literally trying to bite people but he could barely open his mouth because they were so big for his little mouth!  Ha!  We were all cracking UP!!

My finished product!  =)  It was a process but I was very happy with how it turned out!  ;)
