On Oct. 20th Wyatt turned 6!!!
It's hard for me to believe that my baby is 6 and in kindergarten :(
As much as I try to baby him--he won't have it...he is very independent! He loves to try everything, and has the greatest attitude. He is always happy and smiling and has a fun sense of humor!! We are so blessed to have our little Wyatt!!--Our true Texan! :)
He was very excited to have a "Halloween Birthday" and asked that I make him a "skull cake"
Blowing out his candles!
He wanted to have a "Halloween Costume Birthday Party"
So all of his friends came all dressed up!
We started out with a creepy lunch of:
Mummy fingers
Monster Mouths
and creepy crawly cheese shapes
Then they played Ghost, Ghost, Bat!!
Made candy bracelets
(which Wyatt and Chloe are modeling...but you can't see them...)
Then they played a gripping game of "Pass the Pumpkin",
where you pass the pumpkin around the circle until the music stops, and if you're holding it when it stops, you get to pick a prize out of it!
The vampire teeth were a favorite
We ended it all with "Decorate your own Haunted House"!
I know you are thinking that I'm crazy for making that many houses out of graham crackers...but I've got two words for you....HOT GLUE!! :)
don't eat it though :)
Ta da!!
I think it's safe to say they got PLENTY of sugar!...Just in time for Halloween!!!
...our sugar cookies made...
pumpkin seeds toasted...
and everyone is working on their jack-o-lanterns!
Cinderella's carriage awaits...also waiting for wheels...
Conor has created a monster!
Wyatt did a self-portrait :)
Chase did "Jaws"
..and Lauren went artsy
pumpkin innards make me sick...
Wyatt was the vampire!
Here he is offering his help to pull the pumpkin off the vine :)
Not much luck...
Bingo..
Actually it was easy...all you need is
food
more food
...and even more food !
Lance and I built this screen out of sprinkler pipes and a tarp...
Then we projected the movie on it
It was actually pretty cold that night, so we built a fire after the movie
2!-4!-6!-8!
As I have mentioned maybe just a few times before :) .... Madi is Lt. Captain of the dance team at Clint Small Middle School!
Ready?
Give me an "L"!!!
I just LOVE to watch Madi do her thing!
She has so much spunk and emotion when she dances...she does when she's NOT dancing.... but it really shines through when she's doing the thing she loves the most!
She's always front and center when they perform, which I LOVE cuz I can see her!!! :)
I am not a proud mom AT ALL!
They performed two Hip Hop dances
...and having the time of their life!!!
LOVE. THIS. GIRL.
