Happy Halloween!

We hope that everyone has a Happy and Safe Halloween!

We will post some more pictures of Peter Pan after we get done trick or treating and head home to "Neverland".

Hangin' Tough

A bunch of us true "Blockheads", along with every other 30 something year old woman in Atlanta, headed to see the New Kids last night. Here we are.....even after all these years...still "Hangin' Tough!
Thanks ladies for the great night! I felt like I was 13 again!

Family Pumpkin Project

McKinley's teacher sent home a pumpkin last week for a family pumpkin project. We were supposed to decorate it as a family and "have fun and be creative." McKinley wanted to decorate it like a train....go figure. We finally convinced him to let us try something else. After some painting, cutting and glue.....you have.....
BAT-O-LANTERN!

Friday night,McKinley had some of his friends over for pizza, cupcakes, Halloween crafts and pumpkin decorating. Here are some pictures from the night. Thanks Nanny for the fun crafts......you were a great party planner!

Shiver Me Timbers....A Pirate Pumpkin!!

We have a very serious problem at our house.....we apparently have a "cow monster" that is lurking around and scaring McKinley at night. This is his excuse for getting up every morning at about 4:45-5:00 everyday. We decided to decorate a pumpkin like a pirate to hopefully scare it away. Here are some pictures from our decorating party!


What is a Pirate Pumpkin without his first mate!


Hopefully this pumpkin will do its job....we also found some special "cow grass" to put outside his bedroom window and sprayed some special "cow repellent" to keep the cow away. Who would of known that our sweet, quaint, little house would attract such dreadful creatures.......you know it was about this time last year that we had a problem with the "shoe monster", now he was a real bugger to get rid of.....oh well all in a days work as a mommy and daddy!

(Thanks Uncle Brian for the pumpkin decorating kit! It came in really handy!)
