Halloween! - Prep..
Halloween is in full swing around here... Zoey asks DAILY if today is Halloween...
First the costumes... Dax is a lion... since his signature animal noise is 'roar'
Zoey wanted to be a princess... how appropriate...
Then of course pumpkins... Their school has a pumpkin patch every year, so we went and got a few pumpkins.. a perfect activity for afterschool... we first started with every art supply I could think of...
and I ended up drawing a face on Zoey's
Daxton's pumpkin, the family pumpkin, and 'Zoey's' pumpkin...
Then Zoey decided that stickers would be better for her pumpkin... so stickers we did...
then finally... on Sunday she asked to "open" her pumpkin.. and it just so happened that some friends were having a pumpkin carving party.. so we took her pumpkin.. and ended with this...
Firehouse!
The local firestation had an open house one Saturday, so I packed the kids up and headed out...
Zoey loved Sparky!
Exploring the firetruck!
This photo took 4 tries...
Policewoman Zoey!
Katie Visit!!!
Katie and Florian were in town for a brief time, so I dragged the kids over to Niceville for the day to play and visit! It was soooo nice to see them even if was only for a short period of time... Hopefully they will come again soon! Zoey sure did fall in love with Katie...
Of course our first stop was Waffle House for breakfast!
Then we stopped for a few hours so Dax could nap and Zoey could relax... Katie introduced Zoey to War... Zoey would later tell me that this was her "favorite" part of the day...
Then it was off to the water park to let the kids run around.. we also got to meet up with some friends from high school, Jenn Bradshaw and Katie Fraley Cox and her two girls Lexie and Maddie
And of course we had to get snow cones... however I was not so smart in my color choice...
So sweet...
Dax was not so into the water park... but eventually warmed up to the idea...
Zoey was fairly content with the snow cone...
Then it was off to the playground - this park was AMAZING!
Dax quickly found out that Katie would facilitate him on the slide...
and with a smile like that.. who could resist...
While mom's away...
While I was away Papa and Nana took care of the kids while Gary was at work...
Drawing and computers..
A little dress-up..
OF COURSE cooking! We can't have a visit from Nana without cooking!
Papa and Nana visit!
In September (my computer has been jacked up since then, woohoo for new computers), my parents came up to watch the kiddos while I went to my annual conference. We met them at the beach on the first day they were here...
Of course we had to build a sand castle... that is predominantly what Zoey spoke about the entire ride over to the beach...
Bathing beauty..
Then finally it was time to go in the water!
Thankfully Dax LOVES the water.. and didn't mind the water all over his face! This is HUGE since Zoey HATES water on her face...
Zoey and Nana jumping over the waves....
Then we scooted off to the pool...
