Three Days of Halloween

So, we were busy last week with three Halloween events. And, as you probably would guess, Tyson and Keely loved them!!

To start the week out we made Halloween sugar cookies.

Tyson just had to have his picture taken because I took Keely's. But, the reason I had taken Keely's was because she looked like this:


Our first Halloween event was at church. Our church had a family fun night. And, the kids got to play games and got candy for playing.



I got better and better as the week went on at making Keely's curls look good and getting her crown to stay on better. (I just had to learn how long it takes for her hair to air dry when in curlers. She hates the blow dryer!)


Getting ready for Halloween event #2. These pictures were taken before we went to Premier Sport and Fitness' Halloween night (in the Kid's Club where I work).






AND THEN FOR THE BIG BIG DAY. I think, no, I know that we had been waiting for Halloween for more than 2 months. Tyson had gotten his costume back in August and was eagerly anticipating Halloween.


Cheese!


Eating a little pizza before the trek out to find candy.


Taking pics before heading out...but Braden and Kenzie aren't in this picture.

Trick or treating was fun. It was actually warmish with NO rain!! Keely had a blast. She was actually almost always the one leading onto the next house. She would say, "a treat." Forget about the TRICK, she just wanted a treat! Tyson HAD to ring all the door bells. No desire for him to let anyone else ring the door bells.
I think after the night...I have decided that next year we will try to figure out something that we can all dress up as together. I think that will be fun!! We will see if that happens.

Lisa's 40th Birthday Cake

This was for my sister-in-law's sister-in-law...Lisa Getting. I did her daughter's "K" cake last week. This was a very fun cake to do. The lighting on my great camera obviously didn't work that well. This was a hot raspberry pink and black cake. The black cake had edible glitter on it. And, I think I found a new favorite filling...fudge whip. Yummm!!!!!!
(I know the second picture is fuzzy, but I wanted to show that side of the cake, too. And that is the only picture I had at that angle.)

Tyson helped me rake a few piles of leaves. There are SOOOOOO many leaves to rake all the time. I guess we will get a break when all the leaves are off the trees.

FALL IS HERE

My wonderful friend Allison took some pics for us last Saturday night. I will post some more later...and some of those will show you what a character my son is right now and how shy Keely is. This is one of the better family pics; I like this one. ;)

This cake was for a friend's daughter's birthday.

Pumpkin Time

Oklahoma

We have been enjoying our time in Oklahoma. And, of course it is passing us by very quickly! The days have been filled with spending time with friends and then normal every day activities of having two children.
So, I always have a hard time packing for any trip...but when you are going somewhere that it can be hot one day and cold the next...well...it was a difficult pack. We looked at the 10 day forecast and packed accordingly. And, well...we are NOT prepared. The Oklahoma panhandle is supposed to have snow this weekend and on Sunday morning...when we wake...it is supposed to be 34 degrees. Ummmmmm....I didn't bring our winter clothes: coats...scarves...hats...gloves. I guess we will be layering for church. It was 75 degrees yesterday morning and the a cold rainy front moved in and we got a few inches of rain. The wind has been whipping, we were under tornado watch last night, and today no sun in sight. Well...the weird weather is something that I definitely don't miss about Oklahoma.
But, the people. Oh, the people! It has been so wonderful seeing our friends.
And, it will be hard to leave!
