tricks n treats

we have been volunteering our time and energy into scaring little children.... I'll admit Emmet O'Neal went above and beyond with the haunted maze... so cute fun!! but first is a phone DUMP....

#1.  monkey learns to tie his shoe.....  update as of last week:  Mom picks him up for the LAST TIME 

with his shoes untied.... yucky shoe laces are NOT for me.... next up he picks out his own shoes...eeeekkk! velcro until we get "unlazy" enough to tie his shoes.... Bless him, he likes his mama to do it!!!!  but alas, we CAN tie our shoes.

 #2. Publix fun or something mama and aunt Amy HAD to do before our fun!!!!   i know i know....

 been eating some yummy treats!!!!

 tent cookies for monkey's birthday treat at school..... can you make out a tent????   use your imagination, the kids had too!!!

 my LONE zoo taker.... "boys lets go to the zoo"  "mom!, i am going to the golf course with dad" "me too!" (a shell shocked mama who is slowly coming to reality my boys are growing up)

 zoo? anyone? anyone?

 spiderman to the rescue... we have been SPIDERMAN for 3 straight days, sleep, school, EVERYWHERE......    but could you not eat him with a spoon.... does spiderman wear boots???

 we ALREADY love older girls...... Although, their daddy is trying to tell them, go YOUNGER, not older, ha!!!!  only kidding.
