Happy Halloween 2010

This is the canival we went to at the Foundry. Sarah and Emma had more fun on the blowup rides than at the games.





This evening, we went to dinner with the Fourniers, and Gees and then went back to the Fourniers to go trick or treating. We went to a few homes in their neighborhood. Sarah said she had a wonderful time and we not tired. She fell asleep in the way home just as she did as we were going this afternoon.





We got home from lunch today and we had been boo'd. There on the porch was a bag of candy for Sarah and Micah. We then got ready for a Halloween carnival and trick or treating with the Fourniers and Gees. Micah and Sarah were both up very early (5:00 and 6:00) that Micah took a 2 1/2 hour nap and Sarah took a catnap on the way to the carnival.

Bendwood carnival

Micah had her first carnival at her school today. Dad and I picked up Sarah early from school and took her to the parade/carnival. While waiting for the kids to start the parade, Sarah ran into Mrs. Pat and Mrs. Denise. They were Sarah's pre-k teachers. Sarah was so excited to see them. She had to tell them everything about her. The carnival was lots of fun. We dipped for apples, bowled ghosts, threw a nose at a pumpkin, did a cookie walk, crawled through a tunnel and much more. Micah and Sarah loved playing in the sand to find toys. We even painted Micah's hair pink.

Trunk or Treat!

Tonight was Trunk or Treat at Memorial United Methodist Church. This is Janet Clark's(Manna) church. They have people that open their trunks, decorate them and pass out candy. Sarah had a great time going around saying trick or treat and happy Halloween to people as they gave her candy. There was also a band there dressed as pirates. Sarah had to go up to them after and let them know she is a pirate girl. Allison and Ollen with us.

Pumpkin Carving 2010

Pumpkin carving was a lot of fun last night. We went to the Fournier's house with the Gees, Aguilars and Mrs. Kaufman ( Claire's first grade teacher). First we carved our pumpkins. Sarah and Russ designed it and Sarah did most of the cutting of the pumpkin. I think most of the men did most of the carving as most of the girls got bored and went off to play. Micah had a great time just crawling around and getting into everything. We had dinner, bubbles and a started a new tradition of bobbing for donuts. First the girls did it and then one parent got to do it. We had a wonderful time!

Mommy's birthday weekend

This weekend was my birthday and we took the girls to the Texas State Fair in Dallas. I think it has been about 11 years since I went the last time. Sarah wanted to do every ride and eat quite a few different things. She was too small for some of the rides but took it all in stride and went to the next ride that she could do. Micah was also a trooper. While Russ took Sarah on the Ferris wheel I let Micah crawl around on the floor and get very dirty. Russ tried the fried beer and it was horrible. We then had a sweet roll, a foot long hot dog, tornado taters and ice cream. We forgot to have the famous corn dog! Sarah did the bungee jumping from the trampoline and at one point the man took her and pulled her way down on the trampoline and then let her go. The fear in her eyes was huge but Russ and I made sure she knew she was ok and then she began to like it a little more. We met Jill and Kameron at the Fair and Jill's niece Hilary was with them. Hilary and Sarah went down the slide twice. Sarah was happy to have a friend that would go on the rides. Russ usually had to go with her. She also won some stuffed animals by shooting darts at balloons. The carney men helped her to win and she had fun.
That evening we met up with Russ's brother Vernon and his family, Dana, Slater and Cooper. Sarah didn't let Cooper say a word. She loved telling him all about her Lego's and more. IT was nice to meet the buys and see his brother. It has been about 2 years since we have seen them We also introduced Micah to them.
