My Girls Wanna Party All the Time!

Olivia and I were introduced to public school "parties" this fall. I have parties in quotations, because I am of the belief that some dried banana chips, pretzels and applesauce a party does not make! But the kids still had fun, so I guess that's all that matters!

Olivia and Ian...heaven help me

And even though Ana Blair only goes to preschool one day a week they invited her to come for their party lunch!

She loves her fork!

Where is your bow child??

Pumpkin Patch Storytime at the Y!

The Pumpkin Patch!

Most of you know me well enough to know that fall is my absolute favorite season, Halloween is my favorite holiday (well, at least until Christmas gets here) and that the Pumpkin Patch is one of my favorite family outings of the year!

This year we went with our good friends and neighbors, The Farley Family

Don't you wonder what they are talking about?

The best attempt at a picture of all four kids

Mommy and her girls

Look at sweet Coleman, he loves Ana Blair

Daddy, Pumpkin Face and a Pumpkin

The search for the perfect pumpkin continues!

...And sorry I am still posting Fall and Halloween...I will eventually get caught up!

The Wicked Witch of West Knoxville

...and her little cat too!

Little Bo Peep

Has lost her sheep, and doesn't know where to find her

Leave her alone

She will come home

Wagging her tail behind her!

Monster Mash Lunch

Scared you??

Olivia's teacher wanted a Monster themed lunch, so me as super room mom (joking) did my best to oblige and thus...the Monster Mash Lunch...seriously, we have some really great and creative moms in Olivia's class this year. We had Mummy hot dogs, monster pizzas, ghost chips, monster mouths (fruit), green mac & cheese and monster punch. Cute, easy ideas for Halloweens to come!

Olivia's team getting ready for the scavenger hunt...in front--Sullivan (aka Olivia's boyfriend)...he painted her a picture and from that moment on she has been in LUV

Running past me, she was so excited she found one of "Steve's bones" part of the scavenger hunt

Taking a whack at the pinata...let's just say this delicate flower will never be a power hitter...

Happy with her pinata loot

Costume Parade

Thursday at Olivia's school was Costume Parade day! She had so much fun...Ana Blair was Little Bo Peep's sheep this year, but she wasn't able to make it to the parade because I was working at the school all day. It never dawned on me until that morning that I should have gotten her a stuffed sheep for school...and can you believe that out of all the millions of toys in our playroom, we do not own a sheep?? When we got to school that morning Ms. Nancy asked Olivia where her sheep was..."at home taking a nap with Nana." Ms. Nancy about fell over she was laughing so hard! Then she went down the hall and found her a sheep!

More Halloween to come!

Pumpkin Face

So many of my posts have been about Olivia lately...I wanted to remind everyone that pumpkin face is still alive and well. Isn't she the cutest darn thing you've ever seen? Maybe I'm a little biased...

She is 13 months old today!

Costumes through the Years

I was a devil for my first Halloween and was bound and determined that Olivia would be as well...there weren't any super cute costumes but here she is!

Hot pink ladybug

She was a pumpkin this year...and yes, she had 2 pumpkin costumes

Last year she was Dorothy

And pumpkin face was what else?? A pumpkin

I have a few pics of Olivia in her costume this year, but they aren't on the computer yet and Ana Blair hasn't worn her's yet...

I will update tomorrow!
