Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  Last night Alyssa and I took Kyra trick or treating. Bart wasn't able to go because he had a fire.  We had tons of fun.  Kyra did so well when we were practicing at home.  She would say trick or treat, thank you, and Happy Halloween.  Do you think she would say anything when we actually went?   NO!!  She did a good job, though!  She was the most adorable Minnie Mouse I have ever seen.  Afterwards, we spent the evening with Drew and Kristen and their kids. It was so much fun and we need to do it more often.  All in all, it was a great fall break.  Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband tomorrow. I love you very much!!

This video is of Kyra, Allie, and Tay dancing with the Easter Bunny.  They love it!
The cutest Minnie Mouse ever!

Fall Fun

My love for fall began this year as the pumpkins we planted started to grow, take over our backyard, then turn orange.  I was so excited to have pumpkins to decorate with and share with family and friends.  We are guessing that we produced 50-75 pumpkins. Knowing my love for pumpkins, Russ bought us a gigantic pumpkin that Kyra loves to climb all over.  Yesterday, we decided to spend the afternoon carving pumpkins.  I love to carve pumpkins and can't wait to buy the new designs every year from Walmart.  I think my mother deprived me of carving pumpkins, which is why I love it so much now.  Kyra enjoyed it for quite awhile.  For one of the pumpkins, we told her to make a face and we would carve the pumpkin like her face. She got bored after awhile and decided she would rather watch a movie.  She loved it when we lit them!  It has been a good weekend of fun and relaxation.

Happy Birthday!!

Yesterday afternoon the Leman family got together to celebrate mom's birthday.  We ventured out to the Wheatfield bowling alley, where it was nice to have fun bowling and not have to leave smelling like a big cigarette.   After bowling we headed to Luke's to eat.  We then headed back to Phil and Amber's for some delicious cake and ice cream. We had a great time and we hope mom had a fun time celebrating her birthday.
