Today we went down to the furniture store for a special Halloween thing they had.  Dan and I had been needing to go down there anyway to look at something, so this worked out perfectly.  Daniley got her face painted really nice.  They told her to sit still and I have NEVER seen her sit so still.  Here is the transformation:

Here we are about to do the Pumpkin Parade. 

Ya'll have a Happy Week!  I will be so busy in the coming weeks my next postings may be after Halloween!

Over the past few years October has proven to be a very busy month.  This year is no exception.  We had 4 engagements this weekend, and these aren't "Have To's," they are "Want To's!!"

Here we are at Daddy's Barn Party.  We grilled hot dogs and had a hay ride and I'm not sure what more you could ask for.  My family was all together and nothing means more!  No place on Earth I'd rather be than right there with my kids getting dirty on the farm.

Last Tuesday was my nephew's birthday and we celebrated with cake and presents today.  Looks like the kids had a pretty good time!  Thank you Honey and GPaw for having us over!!

 

 

Lil' Darlin' is just always having a good time.  Warning:  Signs are:  she is going to be a handful!  So full of personality, will, and determination! 

One of the best things about having a blog is going back and reading your old posts.  There is so much of my life and parenting I would forget without this blog.  I go back and read the stories and it's like reading a story from someone else's life, because I don't remember the details.  I will press on!!

We surprised Daniley with a trip to Six Flags this weekend.  Dan and I haven't been in about 10 years.  It has changed in many ways.  And in many ways it's still the same.  (Much like us.)  :-)
This is Fright Fest.  The weather was nice.  It was a Saturday.  IT WAS CROWDED.  A little more crowded than I expected but it was manageable.  The first ride was about an hour wait.  Daniley did GREAT!  It was a small roller coaster, comparable to the Mine Train.  She wasn't warmed up yet, so you can see in the first picture she was a little unsure.  :-)  That was just the start of things!

We moved along to Kiddie Land where the lines were MUCH better (no more than 5 minutes each).  We did all those rides a few times and it was pretty fun.  Then we did the carousel.  Then things went way wild.  Daniley wanted to get on these fast spinning things that go upside down around and around.  I let Dan take that one.  :-D

 I mentioned it was Fright Fest and Daniley LOVES Halloween so it was not an accident we chose this time of year to go.  You can barely see the Boogie Man behind those gates.  I would say for a 4 year old she was rather cool about it.

She gave this one high five.  LOL.

 Then we met this little guy.  This is the Mind Bender.  Yes that's my FAVORITE SIX FLAGS ride (not including the new ones I haven't tried).  It has 2 loops and it's pretty smooth, no jerking.  Well this little guy was very upset in the line because he was afraid of the Boogie Men wandering around.  His mom had two kids and she could only sit with one.  So Dan was on full roller coaster duty.  He was terrified but kudos to his Mom for making him stick it out, because he ended up liking it I think. Dan is behind us.  I turned around and snapped the picture of the fear because....

this is what was happening next to me!  This kid is CRAZY.  She was so excited about the looping roller coaster.  She said this was her favorite ride of the whole night.  (Great!!  That is MY child!!)

After the late night Daddy drove us safely home.  We can always count on Daddy to get the job done!  :-D
