Weekend Away

While my mom was here, she watched the kids for us, so we had two nights away!  The kids had a blast.  Grandma took them our for donuts, to McDonalds for lunch, shopping, and made cookies and caramel apples with them.  They set up the tent and camped out both nights.  They also had movie night and played outside with the hose.

Scott and I left on Friday and went to Chuy's for lunch, did a little shopping and Dicks Sporting Goods, then went to the hotel for a nice nap!  After our nap, we went to see Captain Phillips.  It was very good.  I don't know the last time we went to a movie together. 

Saturday, we went to Enchanted Rock.  It was a 45 min. wait on the road just to get it.  But it was worth it.  We climbed to the top and it was steep!  It was perfect weather out that morning and we had a fun time. 

We went to Cranky Franky's BBQ on the way back to San Antonio and it was yummy!  Back in San Antonio, we went mini-putting and then back to the hotel for a nap.  We went out to dinner that night at Bourbon Street Seafood Kitchen.  It was delicious!

Sunday morning, we slept in, had a nice breakfast, and then went back home to the kiddos.  It was a nice weekend relaxing, but also doing some fun things.

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.
