november recap!

wow..what a terrible blogger i've been lately...maybe soon i'll be able to sit down and actually write about things but until then, here's a handful of pictures to glance at..

happy birthday uncle chance!

mia's thanksgiving 'dinner' at preschool..if they only knew that pb & j and pretzel stix arent traditional..too cute in her little pilgrim hat..

knox's first football game.. i always love when we play TSU..their band, alone, is worth my time..anyone who's seen them knows what i'm talking about

what great little faces to wake up to..

our visit to my nanny..only the 2nd time she's been outside in A YEAR! i bribed her..told her she couldn't see my new baby unless she came out to the park with us... it worked :)

our 5k we ran with the kids..mia all fired up for the next 'fun run'

walk in the woods...

so these are from a while ago..i've had intentions of photoshopping the shadows out but just havent had the chance so figured id post em as is...we took kids to playground and saw the pretty creek so stopped to snap a few pix...then we noticed the hiking trail and gave it a go...not usually my cup of tea, but it was just so pretty with all the leaves...

fun w/ 'papaloo'..

still on a sugar high...

here's our crew from halloween...we spent the morning pony riding, then made our way over to austin peay for the homecoming parade, headed over to 'tailgate alley' where they had 'trunk or treating' for the kids, after that, we took them to a fall festival where they played a few games and spent the rest of the time in a bouncy...and finally home where we handed out handfulls of candy before letting them hit up a couple houses themselves... we had several neighbors who had treat bags ready just for them & they were delighted...i just ignored the comments like 'mom, whats this?' as braxton popped a choc eyeball in his mouth...some things they just don't need to know are weird yet..ill let them enjoy their innocence while they can :)

for school mia was a zebra....for dance, a cat (like ms. jessica, of course) and saturday, a bumble bee...brax proudly sported his fireman getup...he was stopped a few times by grown firemen & im not sure who was prouder to see who...

here's meg meg's FIRST CLASSROOM! yay! miss hackney is now a reality and no longer a game we played as first grade little girls...im so proud..and man, she's gotta be the coolest teach in school! ms. carr, watch out....

mia delivering her first fundraiser for dance...now our entire street has enough pizza for a month...& our playdate with buddies eliyah & ava...brix refers to them as 'aba & his 'other friend'...

sweet knox...going 9 hours strong thru the nite! what more could a new mama want...
