Happy Halloween

We had a busy weekend with Scott's brother and family here, but I'll post about later. For now, here are our pumpkins that we decorated and carved yesterday.
Tyler and Kyle carved a pumpkin together.  I had to clean it out though; those two were no help gagging on the smell.

 

Molly and I decided to paint and decorate our other two instead of carving. They turned out cute.

 

 

Tonight Molly is dressing up as a Mermaid and Tyler is being a Rival Man. I'll have picture of that tomorrow.  Happy Halloween!

Bike Rodeo

Yesterday the kids had their bike rodeo at school.  There are 4 different things they have to do-ride through wide lines, ride through skinny lines, go through cones, and ride through lines in a circle.  The goal is not to touch the lines or hit the cones or miss them.  The kids had fun.

 

 

These are Molly's two best friends at school-Sophia is next to her and Gabby is on the end.

 

 

Concert

Last Thursday we took Tyler to his first concert.  He's been to a rodeo concert and a Christmas concert, but this was his first major concert.  Opening was Maren Morris, then Brett Eldredge, who is a favorite of ours, and Keith Urban.  We all really enjoyed it.  We had floor seats which you need in the Alamodome or you can't see at all. We surprised Tyler with a meet and greet for Brett Eldredge before the concert. 

 

 

With all the lights, it's hard to get any good pictures of the artist.  Here is Brett Eldrege

Here is Keith Urban

We all had a great time.  Tyler wants to know when the next concert is that he gets to go to.  He went to bed about 11:00, so I let him sleep in a little bit and took him to school by 9:00, so he was only counted tardy, but not absent all day.

Devine Acres

Yesterday we went to Devine Acres with my friend, Debbie.  This is the pumpkin patch that we always go to.  It has so many activities for the kids.  We would have liked some fall weather; I'd even take 80 over the 91 we had. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mining for gemstones

 

 

Jackson was the only one who caught a fish.  Tyler planned on fishing for awhile, so he brought his fishing scissors and was able to help him unhook the fish.

Tyler wasn't too thrilled to go on the barrel ride.

Molly insisted I go with her and Hudson

 

What we've been up to

I feel bad that I haven't been posting much since school started.  With both kids in school, there's not a whole lot to post.  They're both doing well. Tyler just got all A's on his progress report and Molly knew everything on her assessment even though they don't expect them to have mastered it yet. They've both made some new friends. 

After I take them to school, I walk Trooper, clean up from breakfast, and then workout.  I'm tying to do just a few things each day and keep low key instead of running around all day.  I work on my bible study and always have a book I'm reading.  I'm loving my free days!

Molly started dance again.  She had taken a break during July and August.  Yesterday she moved up to a new class with some older girls and she liked it.  It's just once a week.  Last Saturday she had a bday party for a friend from school.  This Saturday she has one for a friend (not from school) and for Kaelyn, her best friend from pre-school.  She can't wait to see her. 

Next week we're taking Tyler to his first real concert.  He's been to the rodeo concerts, but they're not the same as a real concert.  I'll have pictures to post of that.  The following week, we're going to the pumpkin patch and next month we're going to Austin for the Texas vs West Virginia game with Scott's sister.  So more posts will be coming, I promise.
