Trick Or Treat

It started out as a rainy day on Halloween, but by the time we were ready to go trick or treating, the rain had stopped. Reagan and Cooper had a great time going door to door and getting a lot of candy.

Overheard

No pictures today, only cute conversations I've overheard the past few days.

Reagan (trying to console Cooper): "Do you want Daddy? Do you want mommy? Do you want Bubba ~ he's your best friend"

At home sick, Reagan was drawing on her magna doodle: "I am awesome. I am so awesome. This is an awesome circle!"

Reagan asked for spaghetti for dinner one night. I boiled some noodles and put jar sauce over it. She refused to eat it. The next night, she asked for spaghetti again, this time from the restaurant. Once it arrived she said, "Now that's more like it!"

Again asking for dinner Reagan said, "you better hurry and get me some food before I disappear!"

We were watching Mickey Mouse and the letter "S" came on the screen. I asked her who had a letter "S" in their name and she said "Sam" (a friend at school). I asked her who else had a letter "S" and her reply was, "I do! Sandidge has the letter "S". I'm the perfect girl for a letter "S"!"

After going trick or treating at school, I let her have one piece of candy on the ride home. She chose a KitKat bar. When she finished she said, "I just love that chocolate, don't you mom?"

Halloween Care Package

Reagan and Cooper received a Halloween package in the mail today from Mamaw & Papaw. They were both excited to see what was in it!

Opening it up

Cooper had to take a look too

He thought the bubble wrap was a toy too!

Thanks Mamaw & Papaw! We love you!

Haunted House

We didn't visit one, Reagan decorated one! She had a great time and kept saying, "this is awesome, this is awesome!" She is quite the decorator/baker and I hope that her skills will make me many desserts in the future!

Let's get started

Notice the crown in her head. She won it at the Fall Festival and has worn it every day since ~ to school, to church, in the bath...you name it, she wears it!

So cute!

Painted Pumpkin

We had bought 3 pumpkins at the pumpkin patch last week, so tonight Reagan painted the last pumpkin. Ms Deb & Ms Kim came over for a visit (and to help get some energy out of Cooper) and Reagan wanted to show off her artistic skills.

very detailed in her painting

the finished product

A Princess & A Pirate

Tonight we decided to carve, um decorate our pumpkins we got last weekend at the pumpkin patch. We (I) decided to go with the "Mr Potato Head" type decorations rather than carving. I don't think Reagan and Cooper realize that pumpkins can actually be carved, so what they don't know won't hurt them (at least this year)!

Saturday - Game Day

We were invited to watch the TN vs AL football game at Duane & Jessica's house today. Even though Tennessee lost, a great time was had by all!

There were some there from the opposing side!

When our Life Group gets together, there's always great food & great times!Cooper's food was finger-licking good!
