So today was a really fun filled day! We went to the kids fall festival at their school, then their friend's Halloween themed birthday party, then a friends house to play... Here is a cute pic of the kids doing the Monster Mash at a friends house. We went there to pick up a table, and ended up playing in the front yard for a few hours. My kids LOVE these kiddos so much. My friend has 4 kiddos, and so everyone has someone to play with. It is pretty funny when we go to restaurants and get a table for 4 adults, 5 kids and 2 high chairs :). You know the waiters are crossing their fingers we are not seated at their table!!!
Here is the whole crew playing outside... Claire, Channing, Charlie, Caroline, Corbin, Mason & Maddux
Playing outside. I remember as a kid always being outside. We were always running around in the street and riding our bikes.. MAYBE SANTA is bringing our kids bikes?????
Here is a pic of Princess Ariel (Claire) at Briley's super fun party. The kids all had a great time! My sister in law Natalie was the face painter. She did some pretty awesome paintings on the kids faces!
She made Corbin look super awesome as SPIDEY!
AWWW my sweet niece Shelby and Caroline. I had no idea Shelby was going to be Snow White and Nat didn't know Caroline had this costume from when Claire was small. They looked ADORABLE in their Snow White get up.
Corbin at his school's fall festival. His school has a super fun festival each year that the kids love going to. The amount of sugar consumed today by my kids in ridiculous.
Claire playing a game. They had so many fun games, a jump house, and even a snow cone machine.
Corbin playing...
I found this pic Chris took of baby girl. She is just so sweet and beautiful.
Here is my girl looking sweet before school on what I thought was picture day. Tomorrow is another fun filled day! I love October so much, and can't believe it is almost over!
We had a great little visit with Santa tonight! It didn't look like it was going to be a successful Santa trip due to the following... 1. Claire was mad because she didn't have an outfit like Caroline's (it was Claire's a few years ago). 2. Claire would only wear her Ariel Mermaid flip flops... a battle that wasn't worth the fight 3. When we got there Claire was hiding behind Chris. Chris said she could hold his phone in the picture if she would sit by him, not sure why but it worked. So as you can see... The phone is in her hands :). Luckily it all worked out.I think it is a pretty adorable picture. I thought for sure that I would have at least 2 crying kiddos in this years picture.. They surprised us!
Chris and I have a few little traditions with the kids that we have done each Christmas, and this year we have made a few new ones. We always go see Santa, and we always have the kids paint an ornament at this pottery place. In years past we put them on the tree, but someone dropped one this year while putting up the tree (WASN'T ME, and WAS Not a kiddo:)).. so, we decided to just put them in a bowl on the table. They are really special to me, and I just want to make sure they are safe! Luckily the broken one was able to kind of be put back together!
This year we bought the kiddos Chocolate count down calendars. They think this is AWESOME! Every night Corbin reminds us that we need to do his calendar. Just another fun thing to do with them!
Last night we wrote letters to Santa. We broke out the glitter and fun stickers. The letters they wrote are pretty cute. I wrote exactly what they said. Claire wanted a baby with purple eyes. Corbin wanted to make sure I didn't add to his letter the face that earlier in the night he bit Claire on the finger...
Here was our attempt at getting a picture of the kids tonight before Santa!
