Halloween

This year Gracie was a Princess and Carson was a Ninja. We had a great time. We stopped at my moms, the Fire Dept and my Grandma's.

Fire Dept

This is what happens when firefighters get bored.

These are some really old glasses that Wade found around the station and decided to have some fun with them!

This morning Gracie was throwing a tantrum in her room and decided to empty out her drawers of clothes and dump out her dirty laundry basket as well. I told her she needed to clean it up but I guess she got tired and fell asleep in the middle of it all.

The New Do

Well, I did it! I got a hair cut! I've wanted to do it for a while and finally just went and did it!

New PJs

Gracie is very proud of one set of "new" pajamas. They are hand-me-downs from a friend. She loves them! She wanted me to take a picture. So here it is!

Picnic Dinner

Yesterday evening I decided to pack up a picnic dinner and go to Berthusen Park. The kids were full of energy and bouncing off the walls so I wanted a way for them to burn off their energy and also get fresh air.

I also called my in-laws and invited them. They brought their volleyball and ladder golf. They also brought ice cream and graham crackers to make homemade ice cream sandwiches. They were delicious!!!

We had a good time!
