We took the kids (and their friend Turynn) to a Boo Carnival on Saturday. It was pretty cute -- lots of games & treats for the kids, inflatable toys, and crafts.
Here are pictures from tonight:
Here is the best one I could get of the three of us -- no time to slow down for pictures, Mom :)
I was able to get this one with Evelyn -- it was right before we were done for the night: 
A friend of a friend took these for us... she is just getting started and trying to add to her portfolio, and we were happy to help her :) Here is her page on Facebook if anyone is interested in her info.
This photo is my favorite -- but can't decide which one I like more... I like them both for different reasons. The good news is that I have all of the files, so I can print whatever I want!!
Noah was a little crazy -- so we didn't get too many pictures of him that day... but this one shows his baby blues :)
Like both of these ones -- again, I like both the colored version and B&W. My flower-clip making paid off!!
She also took a few of Evelyn in her cinderella dress... We will have more Halloween pics after this weekend.
I am busy and a little (or maybe a lot) stressed -- so this is going to be short. The good news is that my mom is coming next Wednesday night for a vist, she will be in town until Tuesday morning-- and I am going to get a little bit of a break :)
Kids at the park:
The photo shoot on Saturday was pretty exhausting... but I think we got at least a few good shots :) We shot at 9AM -- and the weather was pretty cold (low 40's), so the kids wanted to be done pretty much as soon as we started. Piper Moore did a good job though -- and had a few tricks up her sleeve to keep them interested.
Not your typical shot -- but pretty funny :)
I am hoping maybe family pictures get easier as the kids get older... ? :)
I've been playing the single mom role WAY too much the past 4 months... I am exhausted!! Travis gets home in about an hour... and he will be gone all next week again... but hopefully this is coming to an end soon. At least he gets to spend the weekend with us this time!!
Here they are being silly -- this is one of their poses when they "show their muscles"
I also picked up an adorable homemade "sweater skirt" for Evelyn at one of the craft booths -- I will take a picture when she wears it :)
Family photos tomorrow morning... keeping my fingers crossed for happy, smiling kiddos :)Ever heard that song? Before my time -- but I have had people sing it to me before :)
Evelyn taking a break -- she was helping my parents decorate the yard with pumpkins, scarecrows, etc.
Dad with kids:
Ride on the Moo-Train at the pumpkin farm:
Playing in the cornfields:
Noah is a typical boy -- LOVED the machinery in the barn (4-wheeler, lawnmower, etc) Even now he keeps asking if he can see Papa and go for a ride on the 4-wheeler. Here he is riding on the lawnmower with my brother Gary:
We were able to go to my nephew Jacob's football game -- I went to Swan Valley HS -- so it was kinda fun to go back there to see a game :) Evelyn and Noah were excited to take this picture - Evelyn loved holding the helmet -- I think they thought Jacob was a pro-athlete or something!!
