Costumes....

This year I knew exactly what I wanted to have Aubrynn be for Halloween, I just didn't know if I could pull it off with just looking at a photo. There was no pattern I could follow, so I would have to free hand the entire costume. But I did it, and it only took me one day to complete! Aubyrnn absolutely LOVES it. I wonder if I was the same way dancing all around in my costume, thinking I was the prettiest thing ever like she does? The sleeves are not exactly the same but I couldn't see what they looked like so, I made up my own version, and it seems to work.

She is the same thing I was when I was her age, I don't know what I was exactly, but we call it "Gypsy Girl". Braden as you can see is Spiderman. I had no clue what to make him this year, but then it was solved when my mother-in-law came back from California with a Spiderman costume. He is so excited to save everyone. It's so cute how he transforms into a superhero when he puts it on. As for Brycen you will have to wait and see what he is going to be after I put up our Halloween pictures. Below is a picture I took of the kids today and the other picture is from Halloween 1981.

San Antonio Symphony

My friend gave me some passes to go and enjoy the San Antonio Symphony Halloween Spooktacular. It was their family series, and the kiddos had a lot of fun. My Grandma and Pat joined us for the event. I'd have to say the music was pretty good, and surprisingly the Aubrynn and Braden really enjoyed it. Before the show started they had arts and crafts, and some instruments out for the kids to try. While we were gone, my Dad took Brycen shopping to get a video game, which he hasn't stopped playing since we got back from dinner. As for Brandon, he had to work as he does almost every Sunday Night. After the Symphony we all went to Luby's for dinner, and I was quite surprised how good the food was.. I won't mention how many Luby's we passed to get to the one we ate at, but it was a good drive~! Love ya Dad... ha!

Pumpkin Patch 2010

This year hands down was the most fun I ever had at a pumpkin patch, not only was it fun for me, but the kids too. Aubrynn said it was the most wonderful day ever. There was so much to do. Our friends the Krywanzck's and Still's joined us on our adventure this year, and as long as they are stationed here, we will continue to go back every year. We started off by picking pumpkins then headed to the race the ducks, dress the the scarecrows, run around in the maze, did a little fishing, barnyard roping, mini golf, played horseshoes, then got our hands nasty feeding the animals, took a hay ride, roasted marshmallows, jumped with the bouncy balls, tried the football toss, won the bean bag toss, then us adults relaxed for a minute while the kids played on the playground, and finally painted our pumpkins. It was a fun packed day but had a complete ball. After all that playing around we worked up a great big appetite and headed to Big Lou's pizza. It was such a nice cool windy fall day to top it off. I can't wait for next year, the older the kids get the more fun they are. Happy Fall y'all!!!!! Oh and yes I made her dress and hair bow!
