Happy Halloween 2009

Happy Halloween 2009!!!! It was fun to have two little ones to dress-up this year. Thanks Grammy, Poppy, and Josh for coming out to help us celebrate. Emmy and Easton were very happy to have you all around during our trunk-o'-treat at the church. Emmy got the idea this year, but Easton couldn't figure out why he was dressed-up and why we wanted him to wear a hat on his head.

Easton was a cowboy from Texas this year.

Park Fun

Emmy loves to go to the "Bigga" park and on Monday our playgroup had the activity at the new park across the street from our house. It is so nice to have access to this park and I look forward to spending many hours playing at the park with Emmy and Easton. Em and her friend J were trying out new ways of swinging on swings. Easton enjoyed his first time in the swing. Em couldn't get enough of the slides, swings, and just exploring what the playground had to offer. The weather is so beautiful right now. I love this time of year!!

Everything's Bigger in TEXAS!!!!!

Fall Fun @ the Arboretum

Emmy dropped Easton face-first in the dirt - read below for more info.

Arboretum Contined

Last Saturday, we decided because we were finally having beautiful weather that we would make a trip to the Dallas Arboretum. I guess we were not the only ones who had the same idea. We had to park out on the lawn because so many people were there for the fall festival. Each year the Arboretum has a pumpkin house, a hay maze, and mounds of small pumpkins you can purchase. It is a perfect place to take fall pictures of your kiddos and I guess we weren't the only ones who had the idea. Emmy wasn't into the pictures, but enjoyed the maze and pumpkin house and dropped Easton after a picture and thought it was the funniest thing. Easton didn't even shed a tear, but did a full face plant in the dirt and had a face full of mud. Overall, it was a fun day to enjoy the weather and the fall festival at the Arboretum. It also gave us an excuse to head up north to see my parents and brother. Oh how my kiddos love their Grammy, Poppy, and Uncle Joshie!!!! ***Sidenote: I promise that Easton's pants are not the floods they appear to be - although he is growing like a weed and it's hard to keep up with his clothing and growth!!!!***
