Happy birthday Audrey!

Stealing photos

This morning it came to my attention via email that someone is using images from my blog to promote their ebay listing. Not cool. First of all I don't even take good photos. Second what you are doing is very unfair to your buyer. People want to see the product they are buying, not how it may look once they get it. Third stealing is just wrong. If  you did not buy, make or receive something as a gift IT IS NOT YOURS! Yes, I realize that I am not being hurt by this, but it really pisses me off that someone is using images from my childs bedroom in the hopes of profiting.

Halloween

I know I'm really late posting about Halloween, but this is literally the first chance I've had to sit at my computer for longer than ten minutes. So that being said, forgive me if this post sounds a bit disjointed as I'm going to cram everything into it!

  I made the kids some treats for school. 

  I made s'mores like I did last year and some Jack-o-lantern juice (thankyouverymuch pinterest!). They were fun to make, but drawing the faces on those water bottles was a pain!

The Friday before Halloween I took the kids and one of their friends to the Exploreum for their Halloween night.

Doesn't Audrey look thrilled at having her picture taken?

  Kylie and her friend had their faces painted of course. They also made those nasty looking "scars" on their arms. Lovely eh?

The next night I took the girls to Bellingrath Gardens for trick or treating. It was actually kind of cold (rare around here!) so we kind of hurried through and didn't get many pictures.

And of course on Wednesday we went trick or treating. Personally I'm glad it's November because I'm starting to get tired of the costumes! 

Down on the farm

On Friday I went with Audrey's class on a field trip. They had an awesome playground and Audrey made a new friend.

 

Then she had her face painted for a pow wow.

  Then went into the tee pee to learn about the Sioux indians.

Then it was time to meet some animals. Oddly enough even though my child is terrified of animals, she went into the stall with this huge steer. This animal was huge!

Last but definitely not least it was time for a good old fashioned hayride.

   

Girls day out

The past few weeks have been really busy with school and activities. When I realized that Saturday the girls and I didn't have anything planned we decided to have a little girls day out. We headed downtown to play at the Exploreum first.

 We purchased a family membership last year for Christmas and I have to say it has definitely been worth it! The kids love to go there and play and the fact that it's actually educational is a huge bonus!

 After the exploreum we decided to walk around downtown. We went to the fort where the girls let their inner pirate come out.

 Then we decided to end things on a sweet note with a trip to the candy store!

 

We had a fantastic day and are already looking forward to doing it all again soon.
