Fall Festival

We went to the Fall Festival at our church (Stonebriar Community Church) a little before Halloween. I don't know what I was expecting, exactly, but it didn't really go down as I had planned it out in my mind!!! (see pictures below)

(desperately needing a haircut, I might add!)

Sweet baby


Anthony in the bounce house trying to get his friend Brody to come join him

Anthony was loving it! We were trying to "push" Brody in...he was somewhat reluctant

Anthony didn't really jump since there were so many big kids in there. But he enjoyed sitting and bouncing and watching!

This is me trying to console my crying baby after it was time for him to come out.

The rest of the evening consisted of one temper tantrum and meltdown after another!
Where did my sweet baby go?

I know you can only see one of my eyes in this picture, but this is me telling my sweet husband (without words) to put the stinkin' camera down and help me get this kid outta here!!!

There was alot to do, but there were soooooooo many kids running around that it was too overwhelming for Anthony. And most of them were big kids too--there wasn't much geared toward the "under 2" age group. We hit two bounce houses, and that was about all we managed before the craziness set in. In Anthony's defense, the entire festival was scheduled for right around his bedtime!

Oh well! Maybe next year will go a little more smoothly!!! (yeah, right...I'll have two by then! haha!!!)

Playing in the Dryer

Ok, I'm sooooooooooooo behind on my postings that I hardly know where to begin!!! My plan is to try to post at least once per night over the next week or so to catch up!

Here's my sweet boy "helping" me with the laundry. Basically, I take a load out of the dryer, and he climbs in to play! He loves the dryer balls that fluff up the clothes! And, in case you were wondering, yes, he does have a diaper on!!! (Unlike his mommy who used to take her diaper off before she climbed into the dryer to play!)

Cousins in Costume

Here are Anthony and sweet Baby James in their Halloween costumes. You wouldn't believe how many pictures we had to take to get a shot of them both smiling!!!
