My trick or treaters

Doesnt Alana look happy!?!LOL! She was mad b/c we werent going where her friends were so she was pouting. She got over though! Brayden ran around all night doing his best ninja moves and the girls were bunny hopping everywhere!LOL!

1st day of school

Morning all! I just wanted to post this pic of my babies headed off to school this morning. We went yesterday to Open house and met the teachers.

Last night when we got back to the house I was talking with Brayden reminding him how he had to sit in class and listen. I dont know how it is where your kids go to school but here going from Pre-k to K is like night and day. They get to play and have center time and 2 recesses in pre-k. They do most of their reading and lessons in the morning. In K they have center time once a week and no recess (just PE) and hes a full fledge 5 yr old boy. Very active!LOL! Anyways...I was talking to him last night telling hime he had to be a big boy and it hit me he was going to Kindergarten!!!! I got a little weepy and he looked at me and said "Mama dont worry I'll be your baby boy even though Im a big boy!" Yep that did it!

I'll be back later with a card to share!

Madison Toothless

In all the dirty craziness this week I forgot to share this with you! Madison lost her first tooth Sunday morning. They had to sing in church that morning and I was picking on Maddie telling her she would have to whistle the song!LOL!

Anyway she lost another one Wed night! She pulled it! I couldnt believe it. The one Sunday morning just kinda fell out but she actually pulled her tooth Wed night. Thank goodness cause Mama cant do that!LOL!

Brayden Hulked up

I had to pop in here tonight before collapsing in bed!LOL! Brayden had a great day today! We will be going to see the Hulk tommorrrow for the rest of his bday since we just ran out of time today! We went to his fave restaraunt to eat lunch. He has been so excited all day! My MIL wanted to let them throw the pie in his face at La Cabana and I said No way since he had on a new outfit. He is hulk to the bone here including is new hulk unders (that was his call his underwear uhmm when he wears them!LOL!) His nickname is Commando!LOL!

Okay so I have to share a story about why I had to run home and post this pic. My family will appreciate this pic more than anyone! My fave pic of me as a little girl is of me standing in my Daddys boots which of course went all the way up my thighs!LOL! Im standing there giving everybody my Hulk growl!LOL! I was quite obsessed with the Hulk as a little girl. I love this pic of Brayden just b/c of my pic. I cant wait to scrap them side by side! Isnt it funny how history repeats itself! I know as my Moms reading this she probably has this huge smile on her face and is LnOL!

These are Braydens huge Hulk hands to smash and crash! When you hit them against each other or other things ( like his big sisters!) You hear the hulk growling and saying Dont make me angry! You wont like me when Im angry! So fast forward to a couple of hours later when Brayden is enjoying another bday present his new Sports pack to go with his Wii. It has a tennis racket, bat, and golf club. He loves his Wii! Well of course the girls wanted to play and took it from Brayden. What does he say! Dont make me angry! You wont like me when Im angry! In his best growling Hulk voice! It was so funny I couldnt even scold him for not sharing!

Lastly is a pic of Braydens cupcakes. It kinda looks scary!LOL! But of course its the Hulk. FYI half of these cupcakes ended up being destroyed in a cupcake fight I innocently started! Long story will have to share later lets just say thank goodness it was at my MIL house and not mine!LOL!

Have a great night! I'll be back in the am with a sketch challenge card!

Canvas Bags

Ive been saying for the past couple of days I was going to post the kids creation. I bought a pack of 3 canvas bags at Walmart in the craft section for $6. I thought these would be great for their library books. The library gave them a plastic bag and it lasted about 2 weeks!LOL! So of course we had to dress the bags up! For Alanas bag she wanted Doodle this and a doodle alphabet ( I think I got it at HL). I let her do the stamping and coloring and I added the tulip puffy paint to the dots in the flowers. She added rhinestones to some of the flower centers. Madisons bag is stamped with Silly Sealife, Fishy Friends, and Itty bitty backgrounds. I stamped most of Madisons bag and let her do all the coloring. Then I added blue tulip paint to the bubbles. Madisons name is stamped with Karen Foster alphabet. Braydens bag is stamped with his favorite image the rocket from pun fun. I stamped his bag and we colored the rockets together. His name is also stamped with the Karen Foster alphabet. As soon as they finished the bags they wanted me to take pics of them and put them on the computer!LOL!
I havent posted a pic of the kids lately so I thought Id add a pic of them today too. This pic was taken last month at VBS with their friends Keegan and Kaleb. Kaleb in the front then Brayden behind Brayden is Keegan then Madison and Alana with her head poking in!LOL! This pic was taken on the night of their program and they were sooo cute! Remeber you can click on the pic for larger views. Have a great night!

Rachel the Scarecrow

Okay this is the last pic Im going to post today. Promise! Im sorry if youre tired of looking at pics of my kids but its my blog and I'll post if I want to!LOL! Just kidding!

Madison had an assigment to make a scarecrow. They sent home the outline and she was to finish making it. We had so much fun making this scarecrow! Madison named her Rachel! Can you believe w/all the dp I have I had none that was fall colors EXCEPT my american crafts paper! I didnt want to use it! I was hoping to find some of my $1 packs of paper to use. No luck! Anyway I helped her trace the scarecrow onto the paper and I did the cutting! (she is the one who chopped her hair!) I let her put the patches and straw on. BTW gluing straw on paper is not easy at all! We also used some sticks from the yard to tie w/hemp on her arms and legs. Isnt she the cutest??!?!!? Im sure she will not make it to class looking like this tommorrow so I had to take a pic!

Fire Dept.

I posted earlier Brayden had his first field trip today. They went to the fire department. All the kids were so cute! They had one guy get into all of his gear and explained to the kids to not be afraid and it never occured to me how scary they look!LOL! They had a cute little video w/songs to help the kids remeber fire safety and Little Richard was in it. All the parents were laughing so hard! All the kids were given a hat and badge after the field trip and here is Brayden in his hat after school today. Aint he cute!LOL!

Madison came home today w/her glasses in one piece. Thank goodnes. But bless her heart they have rubbed a place on her nose.

Please pray for Alexa! She is Lauren's (mytime) little girl who has cancer. Alexa got sick w/pnemonia and is in the hospital. Lauren has been planning a princess bday party for Alexa that she has been so excited about! The birthday party is this weekend and it breaks my heart to think she will miss her party she has so looked forward to. Please keep them in your prayers. You can click on the sidebar for Laurens blog.

Glasses

Madison had to go to the eye doctor last week b/c she failed her vision screen at her yearly check-up. After going we found out she needed glasses and we went this weekend to pick out her frames. She was so cute! They had a selection of frames that would fit her face and I told her to try them on and make two piles. One pile for the frames she liked and one for the ones she didnt like. There was only one pair in the dont like pile.LOL! So we narrowed it down to a pink, blue, and purple pair. I was suprised when she picked the blue pair but they look so cute on her b/c of her big blue eyes. She wanted to take them home that day but I had to explain to her they had to put Madison lenses in the glasses just for her. This is her first pic w/her new glasses.
