Bats,boys, pumpkins and a Toy Story theme


It has been so nice here lately. Fall is in full swing, cool crisp air, pumpkins everywhere....it's just been awesome. We have been waiting for the cool weather to hit for a while and are now really enjoying it.We have been planning on attending the  famous Flowermound pumpkin patch since August and when it opened up October 1st, we were sure to be there. The boys had a blast. This place is amazing. Free hay rides, train rides, bounce houses and acres and acres of pumpkins. We bought 4 little Pumpkins and painted them that night. We're still cleaning up from it. It was a fuuuun day.
The following Family night we made bats with Googly eyes and hung them up in the dining room. They do a job making sure the boys eat all their food.The boys have been really Really REally REAlly REALly REALLy REALLY into Toy Story this year so we did a family Toy story theme for Halloween. Jake was a Green Army man, Emma was Jesse, Ethan was Buzz Lightyear and Beckham was a Barrell of Monkeys........(we had the Monkey costume from last year). Emma made Ethan an AWESOME Buzz Lightyear out fit which he thought was the coolest thing since skittles, and Beckham loved running around the house and the ward Trunk or treat talking like a monkey.
Sorry about the picture explosion, but we've been meaning to put these up for a while.

Happy Belated Halloween and Fall to everyone

What a great Mom you are! I found some candy corn lights on sale the week before Halloween and strung them up on the stairs. That's it. Seriously. But I did just pick out all the paint colors, carpet, hardwood flooring, light fixtures, crown molding, baseboards, railing, etc for the house. Does that count?
