Halloween Party at Noah's Ark









Well it was a fun day at the Noah's Ark Halloween party yesterday. Benjamin and his classmates dressed up and trick-or-treated around the church office building and then they had their yummy treats. There were two Buzz Lightyears, one police officer, one pirate, and Benjamin was one of two skeletons. There is only one little girl in his class, and she was absent, so it was a room full of wild and crazy guys. Benjamin discovered that his costume glowed in the dark, so he kept on recruiting guys to cram into the bathroom with him. They would slam the door, turn out the lights, and they would all scream with excitement when they saw his bones glowing! :) Very amusing. :) While things were quite fun at the party, we unfortunately ended the morning in a serious tailspin of a meltdown. Bless his little heart. Too much sugar, too much stimulation...nap time!

Jackson's Balloon Party






On Wednesday Amanda invited us over for an impromptu balloon party held in Jackson's bedroom! She said the balloon fairy visited him over night, and when he woke up his bedroom floor was covered with balloons! Can you imagine how exciting that would be for a soon to be 2 year old boy? Benjamin, Brady, Jackson, and Lilly (a little girl Amanda babysits during the week) had a lot of fun running around in the sea of balloons! Then Miss Amanda had to up the excitement by blowing bubbles!! Pretty fun!

Scarecrows Under Construction!

















Our children's coordinator at our church, sweet Miss Tina, invited the kids at SMUMC to build a scarecrow together, and we had such a great time working on these scarecrows together. We just were wishing it wasn't so hot! October in south Georgia! Gotta love it!

Field Trip!





















Our sweet friend, Miss Anna, and her son Brady invited us along with Miss Amanda and her little Jackson, to join them on their preschool field trip to Conner's Amazing Acres, and we had such a great time. It couldn't have been a more beautiful day.

Pumpkin Carving












We carved our pumpkin this week, and the kids enjoyed it--pumpkin guts and all!
