Trains and Tea Parties

First off: Now this is tired.
I sure wish I could pass out at the dinner table like this. Some days, I feel like I just might.
Somehow Kinsley and Hadley ended up with a matching pair of yoga pants. I guess when you have as many clothes as they do it's bound to happen. Kinsley was so excited to get to match Hadley.
Can you guess why this little boy is smiling?
He just found out he was going to the train museum.
A few weeks ago, I found out that Houston had a train museum. I wasn't sure how safe the area around it was but we thought on Saturday we'd give it a try. We passed Wild Hog and Fresh Coon food stands on the way, I kid you not, but it ended up being in an okay area. Colby of course was in (wild) hog heaven.


He insisted on wearing the Railroad cap Beau had given him.

Don't know if you can tell from this picture but Colby is holding on for dear life.
The poor kid is terrified of heights.

One person wasn't too thrilled being there.
Kinsley claimed everything was so old. Ugh!
In the mail car.


Before church on Sunday.
Could they get any cooler?
Well maybe a little.
So we took Colby to see the trains because I knew that Kinsley was getting to do something fun Sunday afternoon. I had bought tickets to our local theaters Sugar Plum Tea with some of our friends. Totally up her alley.

First they got their makeup, hair, and nails done.
Then we had tons of food and tried our luck (which was none) at the raffle.
Then we watched an abbreviated version of The Nutcracker.
After the show, Kinsley and her friends went around getting the dancers autographs. Then Kinsley decided she wanted her picture taken with the dancers. Well apparently I am too embarrassing, so Kinsley had her friend take my camera and take pictures. Yes a FIVE year old took these pictures. I was impressed. I'm thinking of letting her do our family portrait next month.

Party All the Time

It seemed like all we did this past weekend is go to parties. I'm not complaining because we all had a great Halloween weekend.

It all started on Friday with Kinsley's school's costume parade.

We, ahem, attempted to make a haunted gingerbread house.

We also painted our pumpkins



Saturday we had two birthday parties.

The first was a princess tea party.
The second was at Little Gym.
Before church

Sunday night we went to a Halloween party. There were 25+ kids alone at the party. They had to have a dad go ahead of the bunch as they were trick or treating to warn the neighbors.

Minnie Mouse
Little Ladybug
Woody
Justin and I dressed up as Snooki and the Situation. I'm just not sure I'm ready for those pictures to be posted on the internet.

On Monday, Hadley was pooped.
Enjoying some sweet potatoes.

Catching Up

Here are some random pictures from the last couple of weeks. The days fly by so fast!

Colby was playing mechanic and working on Hadley's swing.
One day I was wrapping Christmas presents, yes I said Christmas presents, and Colby had a ball in the boxes.

Some of our fabulous friends "Boo'd" us the other day. I had a head's up so when I heard the doorbell I sent Kinsley and Colby to the door. They had left this delicious plate on the doorstep and were hiding in the bushes. Kinsley starting screaming, "Somebody left us food! Somebody left us food!" Then they popped of out the bushes. The kids thought that was the coolest thing. We will definitely be boo-ing people next year.

We flew to IL to visit Justin's family this past weekend. On the car ride home from the airport Colby fell asleep. He woke up long enough to walk inside, turn on the TV, and halfway make it onto the ottoman.
This week is red ribbon week at K's school. Tuesday they had to wear their school t-shirt.
She still had sleepy eyes :)
Tuesday also was Colby's Halloween party at school.
He wore his Woody costume for the parade. I finally got to witness him in a school setting and he was just as I thought. Wild as ever.

A rare moment of being still.
Our baby pumpkin
I just want to pinch her cheeks all day!
