Back to Blogging...

I know it has been a very long time since I have posted, but my life has been crazy with work, school, we have all been sick numerous times, and I had surgery over the break (tonsillectomy and deviated septum fixed).  Meredith stays on me all the time about keeping this updated, and I promise I will do better this time!!!

Ready for Bed

Davis loves bedtime. When we tell him that it is time for bed--he is on a mission. He starts gathering all his stuff. He gets his cup of water, his blanket, and his puppet blankie. Sometimes he takes a book.  

Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Reese talked about carving pumpkins all week. She talked about carving in great detail, including digging the seeds and the gook out (don't know where she learned all of her information). I didn't really want to do such a messy project, but I decided to go ahead and do it with her.  I ended up doing all the work. She made one dig and then decided that it was too much work.

The next door neighbors walked with us.

Reese and Davis both had a blast on Halloween. Reese trick or treated at the high school with her class during the day and brought homes two huge bags full of candy. Then we went on Halloween night. We only went to a few houses, but they had fun. Davis said "thank you" when he got his first piece of candy. During the wagon ride he had to hold a piece in his hand the entire time. By the end, he knew the whole routine: get out of the wagon, go to the door, knock, and then someone comes to give you candy!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin...

I couldn't believe how still Davis was for the picture. He stayed in the same position for 10 minutes while I got all kinds of footage. When I went to pick him up I realized that he hadn't moved because his foot was caught between the wood!!!!

Go Alabama!

Reese and Davis were cheering for Alabama! Davis has been saying Alabama. It sounds like mamamabamamama. It is so funny!!!

Mighty Rebel Day

During football season every Friday is spirit day at the high school (Reese's class calls it Mighty Rebel Day). Reese LOVES Fridays. She was so excited for today that after we put her to bed last night Drew went to check on her and found her in bed with her Mighty Rebel t-shirt, shorts, socks and tennis shoes. 

She had a blast today. The football players and cheerleaders gave them spirit ribbons, painted their faces, and hung out with their class. She also got to go to her first pep rally today. She was scared at first, but by the end she was dancing. This is Reese in her "Mighty Rebel Gear".

Bama Cheerleader

Meredith and Alan...This is for you! I know I have been terrible at posting lately, but school, work, and GroceryGame keep me BUSY!!! Since Drew was doing his football game tonight I got my camera out and put her cheerleader outfit. I know you guys have been dying to see her in it!!!
