The Halloween Review, Part 1

I had the idea of getting a few of my favorite Halloween pictures from the past to share, but this turned into way more than that. After I started looking, I had actually forgotten some of the costumes and how cute the kids looked in them. Soon my collection of favorites was really big, so I just decided to include them all. I hope you enjoy....I sure had fun looking back.

A Chick Chick Here, A Chick Chick There....

On Friday Kate, Wade, and I took a little field trip to my friend Christie's house to see her new baby chicks. Did you know you can order baby chicks through the mail? I learn something new everyday. They mail them to you right before they hatch and by the time they arrive they are hatched and ready to go. Christie has about seven of them. They are about a week or so old.

Kate thought it was pretty neat and cute...until it moved. She was all done holding baby chicks then.
This one looks like a penguin.
And on her farm Miss Christie also has a kitten. Wade was even interested by the kitten.
And on her farm Miss Christie has a donkey....named Rio.
With a hee haw here, and a hee haw there....
It was a fun little field trip for the kids.

More Soccer and Cheerleading

This past weekend Grandpa, Grandnanna, Tenley, and Miles came to spend Saturday with us and watch Luke and Rachel's games. It was a busy fun filled day!!

I love this cowboy!!!
This is what Luke looked like after he made his first goal!!!! YAY!! We were all so proud of him, for sure!!!
His little teammate congratulating him...so sweet!!
Then the whole team gave him a high five!! This made his day!!
Our crew at the football game.
That sun sure was bright.
Sweet girls.

Rachel cheering for her COLTS!!

Monkey Girl

Resourceful

Chris sent these pictures to me today while I was taking Rachel to piano lessons.

He must have been hungry.

Kate In Her TuTu

Grandnanna requested I get some pictures of Kate in her tutu. She was awfully cute riding her bike and scooter dressed in her tutu. She was hungry so the picture taking did not last very long. We did manage to get a few.

When He Is Not Sleeping...

Wade is into everything....and here are a few examples:

Dishes are one of his all time favorite things to help me with. He happily unloads all the silverware, clean or dirty.

This is the first time he crawled into a chair by himself.
With his new climbing into chairs skill he found his way into the pantry.
Now lets rearrange some shelves.
He was cleaning the counter off for me. It was nice of Kate to leave her stool out for him to use.
Laundry is his second favorite thing to help me with. It is guaranteed that if I am unloading the dryer Wade is right there with me.

He hands me the clothes in the back of the dryer. If I am not fast enough they are on the floor.
Chris made a make-shift office in Kate's room to get a few things done. When he was done Kate and Wade were enjoying some Chip and Dale cartoons.
Wade thought it would be funny to sit on the computer.
Wade also enjoys playing in the dog cages. He can entertain himself for quite a while opening and shutting the door.
Luke actually asked me if I had locked him in the cage....No!!!
I don't know how he squeezed himself behind the entry table, but he did and he got himself out too.
He also likes to wash his hands when his chores are all finished.

Wade is one very busy one year old!! I forgot just how much a toddler can find to get into...even when they can't walk!!
