Happy birthday Savannah!

I can't believe she's already 3...although other days she seems more like 6! She is growing up so fast. She's a big help to me. She knows where everything is, where everything should be, and how to get into something without me seeing. We had a party for our friends on our street Saturday and then a family party that evening. She wore her halloween costume princess dress for her party. The girls made princess wands, ate lunch and then cake and ice cream. She opened presents and had fun playing before her friends left. That evening she got a Princess easy bake oven that cooks with ice. We had to try that out...and it worked! It was a little on the gooey side, but they ate it. We are off to eat at Red Robin tonight (one of our favorites!) If you didn't know...you can go online several places to register for their free birthday things... Red Robin is one of them... you get a free burger! So we're cheap... Jerr and I share and the boys share and then fill up on fries :) We also do Dairy Queen, Baskin Robins... I can't think of the any others. So make sure you get your free stuff!

Now for some trickin' and treatin'

I made three different postings so scroll on down to see all the Halloween stuff!

Skyler is such a ham! This was afterwards so Savannah and Jett were ready for bed... Sadly I forgot to take the camera with us so I didn't get very many pictures that night.


King and Queen Camper

Trying to pass the time before going out we stuck Jett in the big "playpen"

I made Dylans costume, part of Vannahs, part of Skylers and Jerrs cape. That's all I had time for this year... so now I'm trying to plan ahead for next year and I think we will do Alice in Wonderland. I will be Queen of Hearts (hopeing I can reuse this years), Vannah is Alice, Jett is the white rabbit, Jerr is the Madd Hatter... and I need to figure out Dyl and Sky. Maybe a card?... I need to watch the movie again. Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween and thanks for checking in on us!

Pumpkin Patch

A couple neighbors went with us to the pumpkin patch. They played in the hay stack, went through a hay tunnel, went on a hay ride, and played in the bouncy castle. It was such a gorgeous day! This weather has been so awesome!





Halloween treats....

I love making treats for halloween!

We had mini caramel apples...




Chocolate skeletons...

Chocolate ghosts and pumpkins...

...and ghostly cupcakes!

I also made orange rice krispie treats with candy toppers and chocolate pumpkin pops for Dylans class, but didn't get a photo.

School parties

I had to spread myself between two parties this year. Both boys had a fun time. The whole school had a parade through the school... out the front doors... a couple times around the playground and back to the classrooms. They were ready to eat by then. The weather has been unseasonably warm. It was about 70... I think norm is in the 50's. Today will be about 77! I think mother nature is giving me a chance to get the garage cleaned out so I can get my car in before it snows!

Mummified Dylan.... they did the toilet paper game

Savannah was quite content in Skylers room.... she is so ready for school!

Savannahs true colors...
