Halloween

Halloween was last Thursday, so I guess I better get some pictures up.  First off, my mom was here, so that made everything more fun.  On Wednesday afternoon, we carved our pumpkin.

This is typical Tyler every year.  He will not touch the goo inside and usually sits there with his nose plugged.

Molly at least touched it even though she thought it was gross

Tyler did draw on the face to carve.  We made a happy jack-o-lantern

Last year we started going to our friends, The Clearly's for Halloween dinner before trick-or-treating.  We all bring yummy halloween food and it was good this year.  After, the kids all change and go around the neighborhood together.  Tyler was the Red Power Ranger and Molly was a 50's girl.

This is the whole group.  Molly was being a stinker and would not turn to look at the camera.  She does not like pictures.  The other moms tired to get her to look, but she'd just turn sideways.

Pumpkin Patch

Brett and Carman came down last weekend from Austin to go to the pumpkin patch with us.  We went to Devine Acres and had a great time.  There is always so much to do there.  Tyler loved the fishing.  Molly's favorite was feeding the animals.  They both had fun playing bucket golf, doing the duck races, throwing water balloons at the scare crows, and doing the hay maze.  Molly liked the barrel ride.  There were also some big tube slides to go down that Tyler liked.  Here are a ton of pictures from there.

Bike-a-thon

Tyler has his bike-a-thon yesterday. He had to ride in a straight line, then an even skinnier straight line, between cones and finally in a circle without touching the lines.  He did great!

Halloween Crafts

I have realized I did way more crafts with Tyler than I do with Molly.  I figured I needed to get busy with some Halloween projects.  Tyler was off school Monday, so we did handprint and footprint painting.  They turned out pretty cute.

These are Miss Molly's.  She wouldn't hold them nicely for a picture.

Enjoying the weather

The last few days we have had wonderful weather.  It's been 60 degrees in the morning and only getting up to 85.  Sunday, we went to the field to fly our new kite and run the doggies a bit.

Tyler gets his cast off

Last Friday, Tyler got his cast off.  They had called me on Tuesday and said they had to reschedule him for the following Thursday and I said-uh, no!  You can't make a 6 year old who's been counting down the days wait another 6 days.  They managed to get him in. 

Tyler thought it was cool that he could touch the blade while it was going and it

He is still favoring that arm and will be for a little while.  He holds it up by his stomach most of the time, but he can straighten it and every now and then I've see him use it.  He still can't do PE for 4 weeks until his recheck, so he was bummed about that.  Everything looked good in the x-ray though and he's happy to have it off.
