Stella's school Halloween Party

Today was Stella's Halloween Party at school. They had a costume parade followed by some fun in the classroom. She was so excited to see us there! I had a great time watching her sing the songs and play with school friends. She got some yummy treats and we had a fun morning. Enjoy the video.

Halloween Party!

This past Saturday we went to a halloween party.  All of our friends were there and it was a really great time.  Stella loved seeing all of her friends dressed up and they played all evening!  Here we are getting ready to go.  What a sweet moment between a cat and a ladybug.  Er, I mean, Stella and Ruby.


This shot is titled 'The Grouchy Ladybug'!


We got Dad to dress up, and all we needed to purchase was the blond mullet hair!  What a sport.


Who wants just one lawn mower when you can have 2!

Pin the nose on the jack-o-lantern

And a pumpkin pinata!  What fun!

All the kids were very serious about collecting on some candy!

I love fall

Fall is definitely my favortie season.  I love everything to do with the smells, the festivals, the crafts, picking pumpkins and apples, cider etc. Stella came home from preschool last week with a scarecrow head on a paper plate.  I decided we needed to make him a body!  Fun project.


Picking out pumpkins at a local market.  They have a great selection.  Aunt Terri and Uncle Mike were in town this weekend to have fun with us.


Great mums too!  Ruby loved them. And check out Stella's purse!


Pumpkin carving time!  Ruby didn't know what to make of the inside goop, but quickly warmed up to it.  Big thanks to Dad who handled all the scooping of the goop.  Yuck. 



All the face pieces I cut from the pumpkin Ruby picked up. She loved eating them and had a lot of pumpkin this evening! 



Downtown Greeville, at the Fall for Greenville Festival.  Lots of food, people and music.  It was a great time. Thanks to Uncle Mike and Aunt Terri for coming to visit us.

If having 3 birthday parties for Ruby's first birthday is wrong I don't want to be right.

Who has beautiful dark brown eyes, a silly crooked grin and had 3 birthday parties this year?


This girl...


Party #1 in Ft. Wayne, IN at The Landrigan's






Party #2 in Anderson, IN at Grandpa and Mimi's







Party #3 in Greenville, SC at Legacy Park




What a lucky girl to have so many friends and family that love her.  Sweet Ruby Tuesday, you are so wonderful and I can't believe a year has gone by.  I fall in love with you all over again every morning and thank my lucky stars that you are mine every night!!!!
