Happy Halloween!!

Our church threw a great fall festival tonight that was so much fun. I had planned the kids costumes for weeks but decided about 30 minutes before we left that Big T and I should dress up too. So here we are at church:


It would appear that not everyone has seen Napoleon Dynamite so big T felt kinda silly being Rex but I thought it was hilarious...and that is all that really matters. Tricky T has decided that he will be a bag of Cheetos every year as he was a hit at every house we trick or treated. Captain C is rethinking the "I can't sit down" outfits that I keep making for him - lol - but was a big hit too. Princess P was a beautiful mermaid that our neighbor had given her...she loved getting to wear makeup and look like Ariel. She also loved bugging the boys by singing Little Mermaid songs all day.

It was a great FAMILY evening. Just hanging out together...and the Sooners winning made it that much sweeter! Speaking of sweeter...I better "check" the kids candy while they sleep. Night!

I am so excited to have a good picture of the family finally. My friend, CW, hosted a portrait party for me today and I scheduled a session for our family. woohoo :o) We got some looks for lugging a couch out to the site but it was worth it.

Happy fall!

holding off on my weekly pic...

Patience...

Wow - this means there are only 10 weeks left in the year. Crazy.

Ok, it seems I have another hat picture ;) We with with all of Big Daddy's family to the Haunted Castle Halloween Festival last night and it was cold and windy and I didn't want to mess with my hair blowing in my face so threw the hat back on on the way there. I just realized that I also had it on at the fair last week...keeps the bangs out of my face that are not quite long enough to put behind my ears ;) Anyway, the kids had a fun time seeing their cousins and being scared...just a little bit. I kept the younger ones out of anything scary but Captain C got to go in one of them with everyone else...and loved it. This picture was taking in the Enchanted Boardwalk where over 150 inflatable Halloween decorations were hanging out. It was so dark (we were there until almost midnight) so you can't even see them behind us here but they are there :)


And this was while we were waiting for the big people to be scared ;) I took the kids for a giant pretzel (the best one I have ever had) and a drink. After we snacked, they were playing in bubbles and P climbed under my coat and my nephew snapped a picture for me. It kinda made me chuckle.

We love the Tulsa State Fair and today was even better with a free Mercy Me concert while we were there. It was cool and sprinkled a little but we toughed it out and had a great night.

Today I took the kids to see Charlotte's Web at the Tulsa PAC. It was a lot of fun. We were just a block or so from the Center of the Universe and the kiddos like going there so we walked over to visit (our friends with us had never been). They had fun echoing and then watching the trains go under us. We topped the morning off with lunch at Mexicalli's....which I LOVE but we never go downtown to eat anymore so it was a nice treat. Here we are at the Center of the Universe...it was rainy and VERY windy today so I didn't straighten my hair and it was crazy ;)
