Fall Festivities

We have had a really fun weekend! We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday, and the kids were worn out when we got home. There was so much to do. We hope you enjoy the pictures!

The barrel train





The big pipe slide
Preston hauled a tractor...
...to the top of the hill...
...only to ride it down...
...with no one to catch him...
...a true Arwood (my maiden name) with the tongue out!

Teeter-tottering
with Rachel and her niece
Guess who went back for more
on a bigger tractor


Preston's turn to slide



Dancing to the music
We'll be back for more next year!

Marty and I attended a fund raiser for the March of Dimes tonight. We don't get dressed up very often, so I thought we should capture the evening!

Scout's 8th Birthday

My kids aren't scared of anything. Their dare devil side was apparent at Scout's birthday party. It was held at a great gymnastics arena, and my kids loved every minute.
The trampoline jump
The foam pit
Um, yea, he wanted to do it too
He kept swinging so all the kids had to yell "let go"
Ready for the Zipline

Not to be left behind...

This was a big drop
Maddie's turn

Fall Fes-ti-bal

Our preschool had a Fall Festival this weekend. All morning, Preston kept asking when we could go to the "fes-ti-bal". We also had Bryson for the day, so we loaded up for a tractor ride, face painting, and fall fun!
Treat in a haystack
Fishin' for treats
A rocket...
...and a kitty
Boys with Buzz Lightyear
The craft table

Guess the gooey mess (Bryson confirmed the yellow stuff was Jell-O after he licked his hand)

A whole new world...

I worked at the NICU reunion for the hospital that Preston and Maddie were born at. My company sponsors a handprint canvas booth each year. Since Preston is a NICU graduate, Marty brought the kids. This years theme was Aladdin, and the kids had a great time! They got their faces painted, rode a train, and jumped in a bounce house.

Halloween Treats

We made some fun treats for Halloween out of graham crachers and marshmallows. We also made ghost cookies out of Nutter Butter cookies and white chocolate. Yum!


Can you guess which one belongs to our littlest goblin?
Look what we found the next morning...
He ate the faces off of EVERY owl cracker

Rockstar

Maddie dressed herself this morning. When it was time for her to go to school, I said "Come on kitty cat". She replied "No mom, you can just call me Rockstar".

Happy Anniversary Mamaw and Papaw! We love you!!

Dollywood

We went home for my parents 46th wedding anniversary, and we took the kids to Dollywood. We were so happy to have Hailey go with us!




Preston rode his 1st roller coaster, and he love it!

They melt in your mouth...

Guess who got caught with a hand in the candy jar?
