A Hiking We Will Go

A couple of weeks ago, Grandma Cheri came in town for a visit. We did lots of fun things that weekend, but hiking (and I use the term "hiking" very loosely) in Oak Mountain State Park was my favorite by far.
It was absolutely gorgeous.

The fall trees were amazing.



We visited a bird rescue while we were there.





And the kids had to have walking sticks.
 Aka: Swords

One rainy day last week, Colby and I decided we needed a fort.
What we really needed was his Daddy here to build it for him because my fort-building skills are lacking.

Her personality just oozes.


Before church. 

You can take the Texan out of Texas but don't try to take away her cowboy boots.

 Hadley's ready for Christmas.

Whether she's on the Naughty or Nice list, is the big question.

Our budding philanthropist.
Saturday morning Kinsley was up bright and early selling her books. All proceeds were to go to the Army (aka the veterans). Surprisingly, there weren't too many book-shoppers in our neighborhood at 8 a.m. She did sell one book to Justin and says when she gets some more money the Army will definitely get it.

 Before church this Sunday. 
Whenever I get my camera out Hadley heads for the fireplace which is the unofficial picture taking spot.
  
Sweet KK

Meet P.J. Maxx
Colby thought he needed a new "super awesome" name. 
He came up with P.J. Maxx.
Maybe I do shop a little too much.

PJ's, Pumpkins and Halloween. Oh My!

Kinsley finished up the last few days of Red Ribbon Week last week with PJ Day on Thursday.

We carved our pumpkins that night.
Colby helped design his.

Kinsley really got into hers.

This one was extremely exhausted at that point.






I made them go behind the corner while I lit the pumpkins.


How creepy is this picture?

Western day at Kinsley's school was Friday.

The view from K's window.
I was trying to take a picture of all the fall foliage.

Crazy before church




Are they all somewhat looking?!

Miracle!

 Sunday night we went Trunk or Treating in Mt. Laurel.
Meet Thomas. 

Sock Monkey
Yes, I put a bow on her head so everyone would know she was a girl. Too bad she didn't wear the hat.
Justin lost all costume-picking-out privileges after this year.

Not just any angel.
Meet one of God's angels.

A wee tad bit excited.



She hated that darn hat.

 Something is up with our computer so I couldn't edit this pictures.
Excuse my husband's torso and bottom half.









Colby had a Halloween Hoedown at his school on Halloween.
He was real quick to let me know that he wasn't a real "pardner."



Check out the cowboy boot shaped mug he got from his class.

 Finally Halloween night.
Kinsley wasn't feeling a 100%.







This kid was soooo into trick or treating this year.
He outlasted the other two by a long shot.



 Even Hadley got into it.
