Happy Halloween!

Here is Rosetta fairy! A friend of Tinkerbelle, she is the fairy in charge of the flowers in Pixie Hollow!

Rosetta needed to get her wings on and over to her friend Anabella's birthday party. It was on Halloween!!! So much fun and so many things to do...like pin the tail on the black cat, pass the pumpkin and pinata!

Here are Tinkerbelle and Rosetta...BFF's forever! Their wings were pretty much flying upside down after about 5 minutes so we took them off. They could run just as fast as flying!

After Anabella's party we took a quick trip over to surprise Great Grandma! She was surprised that the fairy Rosetta knew where she lives! All of the people that live in Great Grandma's place were happy to see our little fairy friend too.

See even when the wings are upside down it looks cute! Rosetta fairy and some flowers she kissed to make them grow big and strong and colorful!

Then it was time for Alice in Wonderland to appear!!! Without Rosetta making all the flowers beautiful that day Alice would have never found her way home! Alice decided to go trick or treating!

Alice with her treat bag and carved pumpkin ready to go and get some candy!

Alice trick or treatin' among the flowers!

We walked over to see what Uncle Michael had done to his front yard. He loves Halloween and since it was on Saturday had most of the day to make it look great!!!!

Looks like this guy was anxious to roll over someone trying to get some treats!

We had a great Halloween. Kyle had an all day wrestling tournament in Gilroy and came home wiped out. He was 5-1 for the day but lost to the team that held the tournament. His school took 2nd place. We had a fun time at Anabella's birthday party and it was nice to have something to do instead of waiting all day for the trick or treating to begin. Savannah went to some houses but since we walked to Uncle Michaels house we spent more time walking around then actual trick or treatin'. We went to the Taylors on the way home and the girls played more and then walked home with us and picked up a few more candy items! Most of it is still in Savannah's bag but I noticed Kyle was helping her eat it up!

Savannah's jokes

Today I am thankful for Savannah's not so funny jokes, she makes us laugh at them and I know that she gets the concept! I think they will improve with time. It amazes me at some of the stuff she finds hilarious......hamsters who fart, dogs that talk and do tricks, people slipping on a banana peel and more.

Pumpkin Carving

Savannah is excited to get to use the cool skeleton scooper thing to get the pumpkin seeds out. That is until she declares it is yucky and "Daddy can you please do it for me?" Of course Daddy took over the cleaning out of the pumpkin!

Kyle decides to just dig the knife in and just go for it. He looks very intense here!

See in no way is she touching that stuff....this was all a planned pcture after I promised it wouldn't get on her hands! So girly!!

I have about 50 pictures of this!!! This was a crazy pumpkin carving dance around the backyard dance that lasted until it got dark. Since she has turned 4, we have been getting lots of funny stuff out of her! Dancing, jokes, way more pretending and so much more....can't wait to see what she brings out each day!

Kyle trying to figure out the dremel pumpkin carver that Grandma bought him. Still happy to see the smiles!

Two more intense people! Savannah told Clark what she wanted for the eye....one star and one regular! They also did the nose and then I carved out the mouth with teeth.

We need Mickey Mouse shaped ears on the side!

Okay Daddy, this is what I need.....she doesn't have the magic finger yet but her hands are Italian!!!

Kyle still figuring out what he wants to do and trying to get the hang of it. It looked pretty good and he was happy with the results so that's all that matters!

DONE!!! We did these on Friday night the night before Halloween. Fun stuff and two pumpkins are the perfect amount for people who don't like to touch the yucky stuff!!!

Today...

Today I am thankful for getting to spend the day with Savannah....it is girls only shopping day!

Today I am thankful for....

Today I am thankful for being able to know my grandparents and to know my kids have awesome relationships with their grandparents too!

Thanks Mom for all you and Dad do to make time for the kids and to make sure they all have their special alone time with you. I know they have many things they love about you but they don't always say it! Going on trips with us, having family dinners and BBQ's, Gingerbread Houses, Ranch time with Papa, playing board games, reading stories, making sure they always have cute clothes and shoes!, pumpkin patch trips, taking them to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and then lunch at Bubba Gumps, and sharing in the magic of each season!!! Plus about 1 million other reasons. We are all thankful that we are close and share so much!
