FBC Fall Festival 2011

This year for Halloween Mac dressed up as Chunck from the Goonies!


Gimme Candy!


We went to the Fall Festival at our church. It was a lot of fun and I think Mac will really be into it next year!

He played in the balloon room forever! He didn't understand that we could come back but, with a fit, we finally got him out of there. haha!






We took him to the parking lot to play some of the games they had set up.

He fished for some candy.

He didn't really want to give the fishing rod back but did without a scene haha

He "Trunk or Treated" at an LSU fans truck.

And quickly put his candy away in his favorite pumpkin.

He put bean bags in the jack-o-lantern and got some candy.

He dug for buried treasure with Dad's help.

And found a toy!


Everybody was a winner at this festival!


Some of the games were too big for him so we went back inside and played in the balloon room some more and then we found the mini bounce house!





Mac bounced and Jimmy went to eat the spaghetti dinner that they were serving everyone. I didn't eat because I was about to go help our sunday school class with the ring toss game then bolt to Round Rock for a softball game! No way was spaghetti and softball going to work well together!

The festival was fun. Mac loved it and I was happy to have a place to take him since we were not going to take him trick or treating this year.

Pumpkin Patch 2011

The DayCare Mammas decided that we needed to go back to the Tarrytown United Methodist Church fall pumpkin patch and get another group picture of the kids like we did last year. We are going to try to make this an annual event and I really hope that happens!

I did not get to stay long because I had a meeting to get to but Jimmy met us up there to stay and take pictures. From what I hear it was a whole different ball game this time around. Last year the kids were fairly immoble. Not the case this year! They didn't get a group picture because the kids kept scattering! Here's what we got...







Mac got changed into his Halloween costume for a few pictures too.





They apparently had a big time on the stairs as well!
(I stole these pictures from Jocelyn)



Lot's of fun at the pumpking patch! Maybe they will be more into group pictures next year!!

Exciting Weekend In MtP: Saturday/Sunday

and now for the rest of the MtP trip...

Saturday after our big breakfast Mom, Jimmy, Mac and I went to Cavenders in Pittsburg so Jimmy could get some mink oil for his boots. He ended up finding a really cool burnt orange pearl snap on sale so he purchased that as well. We looked at boots for Mac but he had fallen asleep on the way over there so we didn't wake him up to try them on. After Cavenders we ate at McDonalds and Mac got a halloween candy bucket complete with stickers!


After McDonalds it was time to head to Neeley's party! Neeley picked a Tinkerbell theme and it was very cute! Mac had a blast playing on the slide and in the bounce house. He drove Neeley's car around the yard and explored in the woods. The bigger kids were amazing and took Mac under their wings and played with him in the bounce house so that he wouldn't get hurt. They pulled him around in the wagon after presents and cake time. It was really a site. I honestly thought they would get irritated having a "baby" in the mix but they scooped him up and made sure he was having fun and not getting hurt!

Party Pics!









And of course we MUST have some pictures of the Birthday Girl Neeley!! She turned 5 on October 30th. Neeley is my second cousin and half the time I call her my niece. Neeley and her family mean so much to me and we are so close that cousin just doesn't seem to cut it!








Later that evening Randall and Kelsy came out to the house and Dad grilled burgers for everyone and Mac helped!

Mac, how do you grill hamburgers?

"First you take this scapper thingy and clean the grill off"

"Like so..."

"Then you scrape the ashes into the ash bucket"

"And then dump them in Nana's flowers, er, at the the end of the house."

"Then you add charcoal briquettes"

"Lighter fluid"

"Then you take the lighter"

"And light it!"

"POPS!"

"Too much lighter fluid!"

"I'm out."

"I'm not gonna be around when Nana finds out about this."


Mac, what happened out there?

"Well."

"UM"

"I don't know."


The rest of the evening was fairly uneventful and very relaxing. We left around 10am on Sunday morning to head home. Once again it was a perfect trip home!
