Halloween is OVER!!!

Yes I am glad it is finally over and now that we are in November I can officially kick the habit of craving CANDY CORN!! I actually ran to a few stores to stock up on candy corn before the end of Halloween night, yes I admit, but after this last bag is gone it is over. Time to face the music of no more candy corn. Plus I am the only 'chocolate' candy eater in our home, so I am about to toss all of that also. Drake doesn't really dig sweets and Carter Bug is more of a skittles, sucker type of guy. But the kids did have a blast getting TONS of candy and enjoyed the night with family and friends. Drake was a Clone Trooper from Star Wars, and Carter made the cutest clown you have ever seen.

A turkey to hide and BONES!!

What more do we need...
Drake had to create a turkey trying to hide from getting butchered for Thanksgiving. We could turn the turkey into anything we wanted and Drake decided on a clown. I cute out the construction paper he wanted, but other than that he did it hisself. I think he did a grand job, even if it took forever and a few tears from Carter since he wanted to help!!

Our cow skull is headed to school today. Drake was aloud to bring something from home today for show and tell since he is super student. It was suppose to fit in his backpack, but the teacher said she would let that slide since she really thought the kids would like it. Last week at school they were learning about the body and bones, so I think the skull will be interesting for the students. Drake was so excited when he got out of the car this morning to show off his cow head.

Field Day!!

Oh do I remember the days of field day at my school growing up.  Bad memories, because I NEVER won anything, LOL, I was so slow. Back then it was all racing games, long jumps, throwing the heavy ball, but now things have changed. And for the better, or so in my opinion.  They had around 3 different games they could play.  Like jumping on the ball, grabbing the pig, Bandanna Pull, Tug of War, Marshmallow shooter, and TONS of others.  It was a fun day and I didn't see any tears because there were no winners, they all had fun.  Everyone had a partner, in Drake's case he had 2 partners and that is who they played the games with and who they ran around with for the morning.  I worked the bandanna pull with another lady so we took turns running after our child for pictures.. And I think Drake got a little tired of my pictures because every time he told me to get back to my game, that I may have kids there waiting to play.. CUTE!

SUPER STUDENT DRAKE

Drake was chosen as the  super student of the class this week.  We are so proud of him and I know he has been working hard to earn the award.  

Over the weekend he got to bring home Mr. Moose, the Scrapbook, and a moose book.  We spent the week documenting with pictures things we got to do with Mr. Moose.  Not only did Drake LOVE having Mr. Moose home, little brother Carter couldn't get his hands on him enough.  We had many fits, because we wouldn't let Carter hog him all the time.  

While we had Mr. Moose, he enjoyed in lots of fun activities.  He got to make Halloween cookies with Nanny.  He got to go trick or treating and also Drake dressed him up with Carter's clown wig.  He was looking cool.  He also had some bonding time with him at night and got to read him some stories.  And to end our time with Mr. Moose, we headed with friends to Dewberry Farms, where he enjoyed lots of fun stuff.  

So we documented it with pictures and made a pretty scrapbook page to add to the class book. We (drake and mommy) made a poster about him.  Things he like to do, his friends, and his family, Oh and he made me add Sandy the new dog.. LOL...  So he got to take the poster to his school and it is on display.  

Tomorrow he gets to take his favorite book, then Wed it is a favorite toy, and Thursday it is favorite animal and ending of Friday with lunch with mom and dad.   I am actually going to lunch on Tuesday with him, so daddy may be going by his self on Friday since I have MOPS.

But I had to post and share this because we are SO PROUD OF HIM!!  So hopefully this week I will update you on our wonderful Halloween Fun and also Drake's Field Day that was lots of fun.  

SLIPPER DAY AT CAMPBELL!!

It was say NO to DRUGS week at Drake's school this week. Every day they had something to dress up with, and on Tuesday it was slipper day. I ran to Target Monday night, which ended up an ordeal with a flat tire, but low and behold I made it home with slippers, since we had none. Actually I made it home with TWO pairs of slippers, because we are now to the phase of whatever brother has we want.... So here are my cute guys in their slippers....

And the curls are GONE!!

Well for the most part!!!

Carter got his first hair cut today, no longer is he a baby with curls, he is a BIG BOY!!  The lady that cut his hair was cute and said she couldn't cut it too short, because she wanted it some what curly.  He looks cute, but not the same.  He is totally growing up too fast in front of our eyes. Drake was so funny when he walked in from school and saw Carter, he said, "who is that big boy with a new hair cut." AWWW those boys melt my heart..

Drake's Class Halloween Party

A fun day was had by all.  Thanks Wendy for opening up your home to Drake's class and organizing a fun filled afternoon.  The kids had a blast and the parents enjoyed some adult interaction, which I always look forward too.  

The kids were so excited to dress up.  Carter is going to be a clown for Halloween, but it was way to cold and I had nothing to put under his costume, so for the day he was MICKEY MOUSE!!!  Drake was a Star Wars Clone trooper and had TONS of fun, chasing his friends with his gun..
