Silhouette

I just told Cris the other day how much I wanted a Silhouette. I could have so much fun with it!!! Glass etching, vinyl for my walls, cards, scrap booking, and I can't forget how cool their temporary tattoo paper is!!!

Then as I'm looking all around blog land the last few days, there are several giveaways for them!! I'm really hoping that I can win one!! Go here http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2010/11/silhouette-craft-cutter-giveaway.html to enter to win one!!!

Halloween Festivities

Wow! Having Halloween on a Sunday really makes for a weekend of dressing up, and fun!!! We started off by carving pumpkins. No fancy faces this year. We made our own. The kids all drew what they wanted on their pumpkins, and then went to town carving. (A really easy way to light your pumpkins is to use Christmas lights. I carved a small hole in the back of pumpkin, and then stuffed about 10 lights each into them. It worked really well!!)

Here are the kids with their creations.....

The next part of our weekend was a fun and totally rad Halloween party Cris and I went to. We had so much fun!! Cris and I went as 80's rockers.

Doesn't Cris look rockin' in that mullet, and in the side ponytail.....

The kids got to do two nights of trick-or-treating. Saturday night was our stakes trunk-or-treat. Then Sunday we went to another trunk-or-treat in the Safeway parking lot, and then Cris took the kids around the neighborhood while I handed out candy. I love seeing all the fun costumes kids wear. What I think is even funnier is the young couple that came to my door with a 9 or 10 month old in a stroller trick-or-treating. I mean really is that baby going to eat that candy?? I think not. Maybe I should have tricked them instead of treating them......

Here are our cute little goblins.....

Kennedy as a Candy Corn Witch

Kaden as Luigi

Jocelyn as Raggity Ann

Cole as Buzz Lightyear

Benson as a Monkey

The whole gang

I have to say that my kids were the cutest trick-or-treaters around!!!!!

Soccer

The kids did soccer this fall, and had a really good time. It was a lot of fun watching Cole since it was his first year. I love how they all follow the ball, or pick flowers, and play in the dirt. Luckily Cole and Jocelyn were on the same team this year. But unfortunately Kennedy and Kaden weren't. It was a busy, busy fall!!! We were taking kids to soccer practice 4 times a week. I'm really glad for it to be over, but I really enjoyed watching them play and get better throughout the season.

Here are our soccer STARS!!!! :)

Fire Station Kindergarten Field Trip

I was able to go with Jocelyn and her Kindergarten class to the Fire Station for a field trip. I had a lot of fun, but I think the kids had even more fun!!!

Here is a Firefighter showing the kids his gear and how to stop, drop and roll.

Jocelyn hanging on to the hose.

Spraying water everywhere!!! I think all the kids had too much fun spraying into the air, and letting the water spray down on them, and also spraying a random car driving by, or even bikers/runners/walkers. LOL

A sweet, wet, kindergartner. Man, I sure love this girl!!!!
