Fall Festivals

We had a busy weekend of Fall Festivals. Saturday we headed down to Lane Packing Company for their festival with the Moores. It wasn't all it was advertised to be, but the kids had fun. We spent a lot of time in the corn maze and Cooper loved playing in the corn box.

The "big boys"...

The "little ones"...

The corn box...

Sunday was the fall festival and Halloween party at church. Cooper arrived in full Darth Vader garb but shed it immediately. Luckily I have pictures from last week of him. Libby kept her costume (which was a huge hit) on for most of the evening. They trick-or-treated in the hall, played carnival games and jumped in jumpys for 2 hours. Oh, and consumed WAY too much candy...

Where's Libby and Where Did She Come From?

Libby is fascinated with David's office. The fax machine, phone, computer... there's just so much to play with in there. For that reason, we have to keep it locked. But sometimes we slip up... I was missing her last Saturday. "Libby, where are you?!?" no answer. Then I found her...








Yep, sitting in Daddy's office chair with his M&M stash...


Last week we had a parent teacher conference with Cooper's kindergarten teacher. He is doing wonderful in school and she had nothing but good things to say. She did seem a little confused about one thing - they were discussing little brothers and sisters and Mrs. Williams asked if they remembered when their mommy had a baby. Cooper informed her that his mommy didn't HAVE a baby, she BOUGHT a baby! We might need to work on that verbiage...

My (Somewhat Lame) Excuse

Two months?!? Really?!? It's been TWO MONTHS since I last blogged. I've been catching a lot of flack for it too. Everyone is like, "where are you? what have you been doing?" And the answer is.... in a word.... BALL!

Cooper has been playing fall baseball. Now the beauty of fall baseball is that there is no weekend commitment. The flip side of that is that it is EVERY Tuesday and EVERY Thursday. Add that to church on Wednesdays and that makes for very busy weeks! No excuse, I know.

Anyway, the baseball season has been great. Cooper got "rookie of the year" for his team and improved so much. We are so proud of him and see many more baseball seasons in his future. I think Libby is a little "over" the ball field but she's been a trooper.
