A little Halloween fun...

Well, we are officially in Halloween/ pumpkin mode!  Let me back up a minute before I start sharing pictures of my sweeties.  This past Friday, me & Justin set out early in the morning to get our yard in shape.  We dropped Emma & Evan off at school at about 8:00.  We headed to Greenwood for breakfast, a few supplies from Wal-Mart and to get our first truck load of mulch.  Then it was time to get to work.  And work we did.  All of our flowers beds are now edged, free of weeds, and have a new layer of mulch!  The front porch floor has now been painted to match the steps I painted back at the beginning of summer, the rocking chairs have been painted, the fence line and the playground have been sprayed to kill weeds...and as of Saturday morning...I couldn't move! I even have blisters.  I am not a fan of physical labor...but our yard looks MUCH better!  Friday night, we headed to the Mexican restaurant for supper with the Goff's and then onto our first football game with E&E.  It was actually our second one but they were so little the first time they didn't even get out of their strollers.  So, that time doesn't really count!  It was freezing cold but they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  They played and played.  And it showed because Emma slept all night in her own bed without making a peep.  Evan woke up at some point in the night and came in our room...but hey that is the norm anymore!  Saturday, Justin went hunting and we did some things around the house.  Saturday afternoon...we headed to our first ever dress up party.  It was Dalton's 4th birthday.  Of course I dressed my sweeties in their cute little costumes and off we went.
      

  Don't you think this is the cutest little cowboy and cowgirl ever??  I sure do! 

And then one shot I took at the party.  Emma had taken Evan's gun & hat...but I don't really think he cared!  Sweet sweet babies!

After the party, we headed over to the Babb's to celebrate the finalizing of sweet Laney's adoption!  We had to wait until Matt's brother and his family could come into town to celebrate!  We had a great time socializing with them and celebrating Laney!  We are so excited to "officially" have her in our family...but to us...she's been ours from the beginning!  We are so grateful that God chose her especially for us!!  Emma & Evan had a great time playing with Gray!  Once we finally got them to stop calling her "that girl".  I think she loved playing with them just as much!  Then, today we had our annual pumpkin carving at Justin's moms with all her sisters and their families.  It was so HOT outside today.  We just carved a "T" in our pumpkin this year but they had fun cleaning it out!

              

                      

And here is Evan trying to show off the finished product.  Not to bad for Justin to have free-handed this and carved it in like 5 minutes!  

I have to share this picture.  It was going on like 2:30 and E&E were beyond tired...so they just decided to lay down while Justin carved.  We went to the early service at church...so it was an early morning and they were ready for nap time.  They both fell asleep on the way home.  

So, that it is pretty much it for our weekend!  We have a couple Halloween events planned for Friday.  So, you might have to see some more pictures of my cute little cowboy & cowgirl!
