Party Till You Drop!

Well, this past week was full of festivities. Matt & I attended a Couples Costume Party the weekend before Halloween. Our Sunday school class had the party and everyone dressed up. It was a lot of fun! Everyone brought food and we played some games. There were no kids there so we all had a fun time! I'll include a picture of us dressed up in my next post! On Wednesday night, there was a cookout at our church and we had trunk or treat there. The girls dressed as Titans cheerleaders this year. Abbie really enjoyed watching all of the kids. I felt like this year Sophie was more into the Halloween thing. She wasn't as scared by everything and she (sometimes) said trick-or-treat, though she usually got shy! She was definitely into the candy this year! At church, they also had some little games for the kids to play.

Then, on Thursday morning, Sophie's preschool class had a Halloween party. Sophie had several family members present for this because Matt, Abbie & myself came as well as Uncle Phil. The kids had a pizza party along with some other treats. Then, they trick-or-treated around the church offices and surrounding properties that are owned by church members. We had beautiful weather for all of the Halloween festivities and I'm glad that we could be part of Sophie's school party.

Day at the State Fair

The flying dragon and elephant ride
Miss Sophie's Wild Ride. The boy in the back seat really wanted to get out while Sophie had the time of her life.


Nana and Paw-paw treated Sophie to a trip to the state fair. Sophie enjoyed seeing giant pumpkins and watermelons. The first place pumpkin was grown in Maryville, and weighed 1065 pounds. Sophie had been talking about what animals she wanted to see for weeks. We thought we might be able to take her to a farm so she could see cows and horses, but her list of animals grew to include tigers and giraffes. She had a tall order to fill. Well, we did see all of the animals at the fair except for giraffes. Sophie also got to ride a couple of rides (something she wasn't going to let us forget about). Then, we had some lunch and Paw-paw treated Sophie to some cotton candy as promised-it was her first time. All in all, we had a great time and the weather was nice. Sophie fell asleep on the way home.

Trick or treat

Sophie dressed up as a fairy for Halloween. She had not completely adjusted to the time change so she was very tired at 7 PM after visiting with some friends down the street and then getting candy at only 7-8 houses. Sophie loves M&M's, but she really loves to play with empty candy wrappers. She also enjoyed going to Trunk or Treat Sunday night after church. It's definitely easier for the parents and kids! You only have to walk a short distance and you get tons of candy in a short amount of time! =) Everybody's happy that way!









Here's Sophie with two friendly pirates, Jackson and Wilson. Arrrrgh!!!
