Playing School

I used to love playing school when I was little. The kids have been having so much fun in "class."

Bringing crafty back

It's been a long time since we've done any house projects ourselves but Micah recently built this cute headboard for the guest room. I'm so excited about it! :)

Trading Places Day

For Halloween at Haylie's school they did a trading place day instead of regular costumes. They asked the kids to dress like their parents and anyone helping in the class to dress like their children. It was a pretty tough assignment to figure out how Haylie could dress like me so we opted for one of my old shirts which is pretty short on me now and some skinny jeans. Does she look like me?

While I was tryng to get a good photo of Haylie, Max decided he wanted to show his stuff in the photo as well!

And here's Mommy helping in Haylie's class, with my best attempt to dress like Haylie.

This was so cute - comparing costumes :

Around the block and back

This year for Halloween we set out for some trick or treating all together and along with some neighbors who Haylie and James like to play with. We left a bowl of candy on the porch but I was told by a neighbor it was emptied real fast. Bummer.

Here are some photos from our night of trick or treating. By the time we made it around our block the kids were very ready to go home. Half of our group continued on and the other half of us headed back to eat the candy before bedtime:

Harvest Carnival with friends

It's funny now that Haylie is getting a little older, she wants to bring a friend with her everywhere we go. We invited her best friend Allie to the harvest carnival at our church and the girls had a blast being silly from all that sugar they were scoring from the trunk or treat line. The kids also loved the super slide!

Night of 1000 Pumpkins

She's a runner!

I was so proud of Haylie in her school jog-a-thon this year. Last year was pretty rough, not only did she walk almost the entire time but she was about the slowest walker I have ever seen :) This year she did so much better!! She actually ran a decent amount of the time and completed 21 laps as compared to her 12 last year. It cost me more money but it was well worth it!!

So proud of her lap card:
