Trick Or Treat

Kendra was sick tonight, so didn't get to go trick or treating. I took Collin out to see a few people in town. He loved it, but was disappointed that Kendra didn't get to go with him. Here he is in his Thomas the Train costume. Later on he was talking in the other room and I had to laugh. It went like this: "Knock, knock...hello...candy!"

School Halloween Party

Kendra's Halloween party was today at school. I had to work today, but I got to run over to the school to watch the Costume parade.

They had a pumpkin decorating contest. We found this idea for a decoupage pumpkin. Collin and Kendra had fun with glue and tissue paper.

The pumpkin won "cutest pumpkin" award! Kendra was excited.


She dressed up as a nurse. My mom made scrubs for her to wear. They turned out really cute! Thanks Mom!

Photo Shoot

Renee took our pictures on Monday evening. I think they turned out really good. There are more, but I wanted to keep some a surprise for our Christmas cards! Thank you, Renee for taking our pictures.

Cox's Ponds

We went to Cox's Ponds last weekend...it was so much fun, and a really nice day for it. The kids loved it.


Kendra's friend, Garrett was there too, so they had fun together.

Playing in the corn

Collin LOVED the pony ride...he didn't want it to end.

It was a little breezy, but a nice day otherwise!

Just some fun pictures


Collin likes to wear his sister's shoes...I think they go really good with the overalls! :)

I just took this picture before school the other day.

This was on picture day...we'll see how the actual school picture turned out! :)

Pumpkin Fun

I ordered these stick on pumpkin faces from Oriental Trading for the kids. They loved doing it, especially Collin! and, they glow in the dark!

Showing their pumpkins



I let them each do 2...they wanted to do more, but we ran out of pumpkins. :)

Kendra's New Bedroom

Kendra is finally all moved into her new bedroom that we started on in June! I know, it took a long time, but she is loving it! Here are some before/during/after pictures.

Old tile floor

The windows were so yucky and drafty that Mike had them covered with insulation.


Kind of a before/during picture...we painted the yellow closet doors white. I didn't get an after picture of that.

Working on it....

Collin helped Mike a lot with the floor.

After....except we still need to get her headboard and footboard connected to the frame. Mike has to drill some new holes and do some welding.
Now....on to Collin's room!
