Henry's Santa's Workshop

Henry's school had a really fun fundraiser called Santa's Workshop.  We had a preview party on Friday and a sweet little program on Saturday.  The food was good and so was the company!  What a fun evening!

We all got up bright and early and donned our Christmas gear in November.  We were happy to get to see Henry sing with his friends.  He did an outstanding job singing!  I never know if he will actually get up there and sing, but he did!

Thanks to Sadie for letting us borrow this dress!

State Fair 2015

Pops likes to take us to the fair every year.  It is always good for people watching and eating things off sticks.  The kids loved the bright lights and rides.  Carolyn brought Reid and he had a great time, too.

Henry and Reid loved walking around together and deciding what ride to ride.

Bennett played along and rode on the kiddie rides with the kids.

Pops rode the spinning bear with the boys.  How cute!

The tiny light next to the ferris wheel is the helicopter that Bennett and Neil rode! They loved it.

I took the little boys in a fun house.  They thought the mirror was so funny!

Bennett won the water gun race.

Machine gun shooting!

Super slide!

This sweet thing loved walking around and looking at everything!  She kept breaking out of her stroller.  She loves to be on the go.

A ninja, a shark, and a little lamb (AKA Halloween 2015)

Halloween was on a Saturday this year and that is just about the best day it could be on.  We got to hang out all day and even fit in a flag football game that they rescheduled  for Halloween afternoon.  The game made us miss the Monster Bash, but Bennett would rather die than miss a football game!  

We decided to carve pumpkins in the shop and of course, Neil broke out the power tools.  He can do anything! :)

Wolves howling at the moon..yes.

After the game we sped hoe, changed into our costumes and started walking.   The cul de sac behind us has a little block party so we went to that for a minute.  We had to go by Mr. Glenn and Mrs. Pat's and they had some very special goodies for the kids.  We were invited to a fun party at the Favrot's, too.  It was a great time in the neighborhood!

My sweet shark, my sweet lamb, and my sweet ninja

Sister walked all the way up to the house on her own!

We were glad that Gammy came to meet us!  It has always been our favorite holiday!

Jill made all kinds of carnival games in her garage.  So cute!

Boswell and Jones families...doing Halloween together since 1987.

Bennett got to see his school friend, Julian!  How fun!

I love costumes!  We had fun dressing up, too!

We ran by the Raines's after and they were having a dance party in the front yard,  Amelie, Jake, and SK giving big hugs!!

Corn Maze field trip

We had a great day at the Corn Maze with the entire 1st grade.  Our group consisted of 8 kids and 3 adults.  We had a fun group, too!

Lost in the maze

They loved the con bin.  They all made corn angels and even wanted to skip the hay ride to do this.

Halloween Chapel

Henry got to have a fun Halloween chapel at his school with costumes and fun songs.  I went to watch him and it was so cute.  Too bad he didn't want to sing.

"eye" hope you have a Happy Halloween from Henry...Bennett gave the same thing

my sweet shark.

All the boys.  Parents weren't allowed to stay for the Halloween party.

The whole class.

Fall carnival

Bennett's fall carnival was a blast!  They did a great job planning and executing it.  The kids wore costumes, ate, played, went to the book fair, got their hair done, and play some more.  Even SK and I  got her hair done at the Chemistry Hair Salon spooky hair booth!  What a fun time for all!

I love her!!

Crazy hair girls

Pumpkin Shine 2015

Bennett's school always does a big display at the annual Pumpkin Shine.  We love this community event.  It is a great way for all of the schools to come together for something fun.  The 1st grade display for Bennett's school was fabulous!  They even won a ribbon!  His school got 2nd place for number of pumpkins.  What a fun afternoon.

Henry didn't have a display so he chose this one for his picture!

Bennett's was awesome!!  The 1st grade moms built a a pier out of a pallet, had a canoe, and even a backdrop.  Fancy.

He was proud of his turtle we made.

Pops met us!  

Sarah Kathryn loved walking around and LOVED getting right next to the pumpkins.  She would turn around and say "cheese" so I'd know to hurry up and get her picture.  I've trained her well.
