random October pictures

Mondays with my girl are so fun! 

Emma calls q-tips "ears." hahaha! One day I heard "uh oh, ears! I make mess!" coming from her room. sweet girl!

Emma loves coloring with pens. And on paper that's not a coloring page. So she has her own little notebook and she loves drawing in it.

Post dinner ice cream with my favorites.

Preschool Diaries part 1

Hudson and Emma are ROCKING preschool this year. They each have amazing teachers and love it so much.

Hudson's class is called the Busy Bees and they have this book with a picture of each friend in the class. One day after school, Hudson wanted to look at his busy bee friends before he fell asleep. He loves school and his sweet friends so much.

The concentration of this sweet girl! Love her!

A couple weeks ago, Hudson got to be the "busy bee of the week" so he got to lead his class in circle time. 

His teachers are so fun! Piggy pancakes!

One of his teachers sent me this picture...he put these glasses on and said, "look! Just like Mrs. Jessica!" (one of his teachers) haha!

2014 Fall Festival

Our church's fall festival was so much fun this year. Can you tell how excited they were? haha!

We started out in the gym before it got too crowded. They covered the gym floor and it was full of fun inflatables. This is probably Hudson and Emma's favorite part of fall festival.

We finally made it outside and John and Hudson rode this thing. I don't do spinning rides. 

They had lots of tiny rides for preschoolers so Hudson and Emma got to ride this carousel together without an adult. ha! They loved it. 

Dinner break...of course these 2 chose pizza. 

We went back inside to play a few preschool games to win some candy. 

As soon as we got home the kids stripped down and Emma put on Hudson's Jake costume as quickly as she could. hahah! 

I love my little cupcake and Jake! Such a fun night!

pumpkin carving party 2014

Last night we went to a fun pumpkin carving party! 

Really, John did all the carving, the kids played, and I took pictures, talked, and ate. It was great! ha!

Lots of fun friends. The weather was perfect.

Getting our jack-o-lantern all set up at home.

Ours is the owl one...

Sweet friends making a band. haha!

MK's pirate party!

Hudson's sweet friend Mary Katherine had such a fun pirate birthday party.

The kids had so much fun and instead of cake, the ice cream truck came!

Hudson, Mary Katherine, and Jake have all been in the same preschool class last year and this year. They are 3 sweet little friends.
