Sugar Day with Grandma and PawPaw



We had a great weekend, filled with fun. First, we made a fire in the backyard and roasted marshmallows to make smores. Then, dad had the great idea to build a "lean to" where he and Peyton would camp out overnight. Uncle Patrick came over and built up the fire really well. Peyton actually fell asleep outside and they made it until about midnight (mom persuaded them to come in for the night).

On Saturday, We went to the Kent House this weekend to visit Grandma and PawPaw at Sugar Day. While they sold gourds, we explored Kent House, learned how to churn butter, make sugar and syrup and make sand art! Our favorite part of the day was the petting zoo. Peyton especially enjoyed the animals, particularly the bunny rabbits. No one else could pet them when Peyton was arrived. In her words, "they're so cute, can we take one home?" They are definitely cute and very soft, but not cute enough to take home! We had a great time exploring and visiting this weekend!

We're off to See the Wizard ...


The whole family got into the spirit of Halloween with our version of the Wizard of Oz starring Shawn as the Tin Man, Courtney as Glenda the Good Witch, Peyton as Dorothy and Emily as the Scarecrow. Props to Shawn for making his own outfit, with no help from me.

Halloween Fun ...





We've had a great time celebrating Halloween this year. The celebration was spread out over several days including trick-or-treating Friday night at several different places and a Halloween Carnival Saturday. The girls have been on a sugar high for days complete with energy surges, late nights, crashes, melt downs and "can we have more?!?"

Happy Halloween!
