Kate's 3rd birthday party

 Kate is 3!!!

chocolate muffins for birthday breakfast

 So while they were waiting for the party they sat their own toys on the present table and gave them to Daddy to open. I love the imagination of kids.. it's the best.

 Chocolate covered mallows, chocolate covered pretzels and popcorn balls.

 This is the cake - it's kind of hard to tell, but it was two 9x13's - one on the bottom and one cut into the shape of a tiara on the top... 

 The birthday girl eating cake with her favorite lil guy ever.

Carving pumpkins! 

Mason is soooo big! 

 So after a while the kids got bored... poor Mark James carving the pumpkin all by his lonesome...

 Connor's school halloween party... spidey in action

 doesn't quite understand the concept of limbo yet...

 There we go! 

 It's Halloween!! 

And raining and windy and freezing... awesome...

 Looking through all their loot! 

Fall Break

Last week was the first week of Connor's fall break. Mark James took the week off and we did SO many fun activities! Of course I forgot my camera almost every day, but that's okay...

Monday we went to Chuck E. Cheese. 

Tuesday we had our family pictures taken and then Chick fil A for lunch. 

Wednesday was Connor's five year doctor's appointment - he had to get two shots and the flu mist - and then we all went to Chicago's for lunch. 

Thursday we went to the zoo with Katie and then out to eat at O'Charleys for dinner. 

Friday we were supposed to go to Kelsey farms, but the hot water heater broke, so a guy came to replace it during the time we were able to go, so Mark took the big kids for ice cream instead. 

Saturday we went to Kelsey farms and then a fall festival party at Tim and Laura Harbert's! The kids had a blast! 

And today we did absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. 

The only day I remembered my camera was at Kelsey Farms... so here ya go.
