School!

Amelia starts school on Tuesday!!!!  We have been on the waiting list since we moved, and they finally called.  Actually, I wasn't expecting them to call until January (if at all), but someone moved and we got in.

She is in a Tuesday/Thursday program that goes from 9:10-2:30 and she is very excited.  We met her teachers last week and Amelia even joined in on snack time like she'd been going there the whole time :)

Looking forward to her first day - I'm just hoping she doesn't throw a fit when I actually leave this time!  If she does - at least I know it won't last forever.

But It's Not Halloween...

Alright - so far Oklahoma has been great.  But, this Halloween, it failed us. 

Saturday morning we left the house for an all day trip.  We didn't have a care in the world.  We got back home at 8:00 (already an hour past bedtime) and what did we see...Trick-or-Treaters EVERYWHERE!  What on earth?  It's the 30th...Halloween is tomorrow.  Apparently Oklahoma has the ability to change a holiday and NOT inform people about it. 

So Andy took August upstairs and put him to bed while I got Amelia dressed up in her Pinky Dinky Doo costume (at least it was simple), and Amelia and I headed out to hit a few houses!  Poor thing was exhausted, but she was having a great time.  We made it to about 5 houses - that was enough for her.  Thank goodness she's still little and believes everything we tell her :) 

But we still had fun on the REAL Halloween!  We carved pumpkins and still got dressed up so that August could join in on the fun! 

 This is us running out the door Saturday night!

 Batman!!!!!

 The dynamic duo!

 Pumpkins :)

 I'm actually in a picture...August wants to get Ruby.

 Happy Halloween!

 Hanging outside while we're carving the pumpkins :)  See my teeth!!!!!?????
