Dancing and Parading

Today was officially Halloween so Kaitlyn’s ballet class was done in costume.

Then we headed to Alex’s school for his Halloween parade.

Lap Dog

Madison has always considered herself a lap dog, but in recent years she doesn’t like to jump into a lap as much (old hips). I was out for the evening and Wade sent me a picture of Alex and Madison snuggling. How sweet.

Timberlake Halloween

Our neighborhood seems to be growing like crazy. In the last year, the number of children has grown exponentially. With all the new residents, the home owner’s association decided to put together more holiday activities. My neighbor is in charge (Awesome!) and planned this fabulous Halloween event for the neighborhood.

Three Parties In One Day

Today was full of parties. Two kids had Halloween Parties at their school and then we went to a friend’s party after school. I helped out with Kaitlyn’s party so I have plenty of pictures.

I also have a few pictures from Teague’s Halloween Parade around the school.

Then tons from our party at a friend’s house.

“Pubbles”

Kaitlyn loves her “pubbles.” She will sometimes work the “baby” puzzles with a single piece per hole, but her favorite are these 24/48 piece puzzles. She needs quite a bit of help but I doubt she will for long.

Annual Pumpkin Carving Party

This is the 12th year Wade and I have hosted a pumpkin carving party. (Isn’t that crazy?) We had a mix of Milwaukee friends and local friends. The weather was prefect for carving outside and then the adults moved inside to socialize and the kids played outside in the treehouse and with flashlights till 9 pm.

And always we have the group photo!

Little Monkey

Kaitlyn has always loved to climb. I knew it wouldn’t be long before she could climb the netting on the tree house.

Playdates

We love our after school play dates. There are a couple families that always stay an extra 30 minutes after school gets out. We let the kids run and play around the school and the adults get to relax in the sun.
