Costume Test Run

Last Saturday our town Park District had a Boo Bash at a local park. It included a costume parade, pumpkin decorating, train rides, hay rides. It was a rainy and cloudy day but the kids had a blast and best of all they got to wear their costumes. Here are some preliminary pics of their costumes. They are not the best quality because I had to use my video camera. Battery was dead in the camera (wouldn't you know!) Anyways, here are Belle and the Red Power Ranger Contreras.

Shirts from Grandma

Today the kids were wearing their holiday shirts from Grandma and they loved them. Enjoying the Autumn day - life is good. Hope yours is as well!

Dinner by Little G

Little G was daddies little helper the other night with dinner. She loves to be in the kitchen now. She loves to watch me cook and asks so many questions. It is so fun to see her be a helper. She is although highly supervised during this process, but none-the-less, she loves it!

P is for Pumpkin Patch

On Tuesday Big G's Pre-K class took a trip to the Pumpkin Patch for their field trip. We rode on a bus, on a hay ride, picked pumpkins out of a the Pumpkin Patch and checked out and fed the animals. We had a great day. It was a perfect day for a trip to the Pumpkin Patch. It was beautiful day with my gooby-goo!

G 2 and G 4 Photoshoot 2009

Well, our friends and neighbors Chris and Sara have hit yet another home run with G and G's annual pictures. I am amazed at the way in which they truly capture their personalities. It helps because they see them a lot only living a couple doors away and the G and G love and adore playing with their kids. Judge for yourself

Dress Up Queen!

There is not one moment in the day that you will not see Little G in some sort of get up. She has her dressy shoes and her shakie, shakie skirts (those are what she calls the ones you can spin and twirl in). She can also dance and "shake" her back side in the them. She has hats, back packs, purses, necklaces, wings, sunglasses and anything else "pretty" she can get her hands on. Check out the fashion diva herself in full "get up." She is something else and we love every bit of this little one.

I wanna be a race car driver!

Ugh!!! When I ask Big G what he wants to be when he grows up, he tells me a race car driver! My worst nightmare to tell you the truth. Speeding behind the wheel is not my idea of fun, nor should it be his. I don't want to crush his dreams, but my prayer is that it is just a passing phase. BUT until then, when he requests a photo shoot with his hand built race car, I will do as such. I thank the Lord his car is built from foam blocks and he is wearing a helmet. In the meanwhile, dream away my son, dream away!
