Fall Pal Pics

The 4th grade class that work with has been taking fall "Pal Pics" the past couple of weeks. For $1.00 the kids could have their picture made with some of their friends. This was one of the first real "projects" I've had since I started working at school. I got to decorate the backdrop for the pictures and helped in taking the pictures. You all know now why I love my job! This is the kind of stuff I absolutely love. Here's a couple of pictures of the boys:

Flag Football is Finally Over...Woo Hoo!!!

Tonight Ty had his last flag football game of the season. They made it to the Superbowl and they came in runner-up in their division. Not too bad for a bunch of 5 & 6 year olds that have never played before! He may have been the smallest kid on the team, but he definitely talked more smack than anyone else out there! (I wonder who he got that from...) We are so proud of him!

Perry, Parker, & Ty

Ty...ready for his trophy

Happy Halloween

I know I'm a day late, but...Happy Halloween! Hope everyone had a great and safe time trick-or-treating. We didn't go to very many houses this year...just a few family members. Actually, after only 2 houses, Ty was out. Here's a couple of pics:

Vampire Ty

Vampire Ty & Werewolf Hunter

Ava was afraid of Hunter's mask, so he had to take it off for the pic. By this time, Ty was almost out, and refused to have his picture taken.

Saturday afternoon we had a family reunion for my Granny's side of the family. Here's a few pics from that:

All the sisters: Sylvia, Marvelle, Erma, Vonnie, Faydean, Laverne(my Granny), and Nittie

Ty, Ava, Hunter, & Matt

Ty & Ava hugging goodbye...how sweet!?!?

And you're supposed to be???

After I gave Ty a bath tonight, he informed me that he would put his pajamas on by himself. I know him well enough to know that something is up when he volunteers to do something like that, but I was tired, so I just went with it and let him do it. A few minutes later this is what he came back with....

Yep folks, he's wearing pajamas (with feet, no less), cowboy boots, belt, hat and his vampire cape. If I knew he was this easy to please, we could have saved a lot of money on a Halloween costume. I think we may have a winner for next year! :)

They finally look like boys again!

After many comments about how my boys no longer look like boys because their hair was so long, we finally convinced them that it was time for a haircut. It didn't take much convincing on Ty's part, but Hunter was another story. He wasn't too happy about it at the time, but now he really likes it. And of course I like it too, becuase now I actually get to "fix" their hair! We've spiked it a couple of times, I even gave them a "faux hawk" one day! They are back to looking like my handsome little boys again!!!

Seriously???

Yep...you guessed it...this is my child's lunch. Ty told me last night that he wanted to pack his own lunch, so I thought, ok...we'll see how he does. And this is what he comes up with...doritos, fruit snacks, handisnacks, candy corn, strawberry whoppers, and a half eaten poptart. This morning when I tried to take a few things out and put a sandwich in, he had a fit. This was just not worth it this morning, so I let him leave it all in there. (I did put the sandwich in there, though!)

Family Fun

Sunday afternoon we took the kids to the airshow at the Jacksonville Airforce Base. It was the perfect day...we all had a really good time until the F-16's flew over. They were so incredibly loud. Ty does NOT like loud noises and this was no exception. He started holding his ears and crying that he wanted to leave. At least we had already seen every plane there (at least once!) so it was time to go anyway. Needless to say, next year we will take earplugs! :-)
