Busy Busy!

The weeks are just flyin' by as we go about work, school and activities. Before we know it, it will be Christmas. Here's a little catch up on what we have been up to:

My parents were in town for the week so the kids got to spend some time with them! They loved it, of course, having grandma and grandpa's attention. The kids had a half day of school Wednesday, so we hung out with them for the afternoon. Somehow my dad eluded the camera all week, but here's a good one of Mom!

Playing whiffle ball in the field...




Here's a few pics from the Boo Bash we had on Thursday at Pizza by the Sea. We had a face painter/balloon artist come for all of the kids--it was a great time had by all. So many cute costumes..... go to www.pizzabythesea.com to see them all!




Caroline had her friend over for a play date Friday after school, and this was their creation at Pizza by the Sea.




Saturday brought soccer, and the pizza party after soccer.... Nothing like feeding a bunch of hungry boys pizza!

Saturday afternoon we decided to go down to Rosemary Beach to their Halloween festival. They had trick or treating, pumpkin carving, games, food..... it was fun! Caroline dug Alex's old astronaut suit out of the play clothes box. Perfect! I didn't buy a Halloween costume this year for either one of them.... recycling costumes is awesome!





Alex's finished product!
Today after church, I was on a quest to get a good picture of the kids for our Christmas card. We first ventured out to Eden Garden state park. Beautiful old estate with a plantation house, and enormous live oak trees all over.

The troops were not being too cooperative on the picture front. I did manage to get a few shots, but I am saving those:) Here is one that didn't make the cut.

of course, Alex had to include this photo of a snake he saw slithering across the walk.... lovely.


hope you have a great week! I can't believe November is right around the corner!
