Tinkerbell Birthday Party

We had a Tinkerbell Birthday Party to attend on Sat. It was Rachel's party and the girls had a great time. Rachel is on their soccer team. Tinkerbell showed up at the party and amazement was on everyones faces. She took them outside and played some games. She then pulled out Blaze the bee and he was a little feisty. Then they pulled out  a parachute and everyone lit up when they saw the parachute. Blaze took a ride on the parachute with a little help from everyone. I think that was the highlight of the day. They were all smiling or laughing. At the end Tinkerbell had prizes for everyone and they were able to pick two. Presley picked candy for both items and Brooke picked a sucker and fake teeth. The fake teeth were a lot of fun for both girls. Brooke shared her teeth with Presley. Brooke is so loving and compassionate. We then headed to the back yard to hit a Tinkerbell pinata. Brooke got her picture with Tinkerbell but Presley wouldn't leave the line for the pinata long enough to get her picture taken, too funny. Cupcakes were served and Brooke asked me to save hers for later which I thought was so weird until I realized she had found the playroom and I couldn't get her to leave the playroom. Present opening is always a challenge with a bunch of four year olds and my two were right there with everyone else. We finally told all the kids to sit on the rug except the birthday girl but that didn't last long. It was a fantastic party and we were so glad we got to experience it all. The girls were pooped out. They took a nap as soon as we got home.

Book Character Day

It's book character day at school and Presley was a Candy Corn Witch and Brooke was a Woman of Marvel (Captain Americas Daughter). I know they really aren't book characters but that is what they wanted to be. The teachers commented on how both of the girls costumes fit their personality and it is so true. They picked their own costumes out. Brooke actually wanted to be Spiderman until she realized she had to wear a mask. She is my little tomboy through and through. I gave Presley one of my hallowween purses and we put little bags of candy corn to hand out to the kids. I had to do that because last minute I realized I forgot to get Presley a broom and she was not very happy but my alternative made her very happy. Of course, I had to find something for Woman of Marvel to hand out and came up with fruit snacks. They both were so thrilled to get to school so they could share their snack with everyone.

All the teachers on the hall dressed up from the book "The Very Hungry Catapillar." What a great and easy idea for all of them. I am so blessed to be able to witness all the fun they have at school.

Pumpkin Patch

Scrapbook Retreat

We had a fabulous time on the retreat. All the costumes were great. We were the Flinstones, I was Fred because they said I was the loudest and of course I couldn't argue with that one. I think My Yabba Dabba Do was pretty good and loud.  I worked on my pumpkins for the Grandparents Day Breakfast at school. I started my blog book finally, thanks to Cari for helping me get started.

The Rangers are going to the World Series! First time ever. It is so exciting for baseball fans. Go Rangers!

We watched the game and most eyes were glued to the TV. I will remember this time always and what a great group of girls to share in the celebration. We all know I love the Happy.

Fun, Campfire and Smores

After we saw the dinosaur tracks we headed back to camp. The kids rode scooters and four wheelers. They were all having so much fun. We then made hamburgers on the grill and after dinner we made smores and then sat around the campfire and just talked and told stories. The weather was cool and perfect for camping. The kids were exhausted. Presley came up to me and told me she was ready to go to bed. I walked them both back to the tent and stayed long enough for them to fall asleep, which wasn't long. Nothing better than friends, fun and smores. I haven't camped in a long time and determined that camping still isn't so bad. I really enjoyed spending time with Gary and the girls. What a great life I have and am so blessed.
