A REALLY long post

I NEVER get on here...I know...I'm sorry. I just never make time for it. :( I really really want to, but...for some reason....I just don't. Ugh...

I have a ton of things to post about so I am going to just write about them all.

The first weekend in October seemed like the perfect time to take the kids to the pumpkin patch, but Gavin ended up running fever all weekend and cried over everything. He slept with us for 3 nights until finally he woke up and a new tooth appeared. He was teething! It was pitiful! :(
We decided to go to the pumpkin patch anway...he was really fussy, but we still had fun.




Poor guy!







Later on that week, we decided to carve our first pumpkin for the year. :)





Chris got a little fancy with this one


We finally got around to painting the playhouse for the kids. It is precious. The kids love it!



My kids are the best. They entertain us and keep us on our toes. I just can't get enough!

Bella is the "poser"...anytime there is a camera around, she strikes her pose and puts on her fake smile. haha. I just love her. :)

It was camo day at school

Gavin is FEARLESS! He literally knows no fear. It scares me to death! He is amazing...I love him. :)




Gavin loves to kiss Bella. Any chance he gets, he is laying one on her. It's to die for!




Bella's kindergarten class took their first field trip to Family Farm Pumpkin Patch. Chris was able to take off work and go with them. He took these precious photos of her and her cute little friends.







We had our first Parent Teacher conference. I was soooo nervous all day! I cried every time I thought about it...what a weirdo...lol Her teacher is amazing had nothing but wonderful things to say about Bella. Praise the Lord! :) Here is a picture of her report card. We are sooo proud!



Our town and a neighboring town (Benton and Bryant) had their Fall festivities on the Thursday before Halloween. We decided to take the kids so they can rack up on the candy a little early. We love candy. :) They were Super Girl and Super Boy - Bella's idea. These kids are amazing...I'm tellin' ya!



Bella's school didn't participate in dressing up for Halloween so they decided to allow the kids to dress up as their favorite book character and do a book talk in front of their class. Bella, of course, was "Pinkilicious". :) We also made treat bags to send home as a little Halloween gift from "Pinkilicious" herself. They were adorable. I love things like this!







So...about 1:00 Saturday morning I woke up with the stomach bug. It was TERRIBLE!!! :( I was up all night and in the bed all day Saturday. My poor sweet Gavin started throwing up around 10:00 Saturday morning. Chris was taking care of both of us. He is such a great husband. We missed my daddy's birthday and Halloween! :( Sunday was a better day for me, but my sweet husband started throwing up around 5 that evening. Bella was soooo scared because she knew she was next. Sure enough, around 1:00 Monday moring, Bella started throwing up too. Bless her tiny little heart. It was literally the hardest thing to watch. Gavin wasn't even this pitiful. :(


We are all well now! This past weekend was sooo much better. We went out to eat, did some shopping at Sam's, and lounged around. It was nice. Well folks...there you have it. A REALLY long post. :) Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!
